Review of Half-Pint Hex, Book One of Aura Healers Hall, in the Hundred Halls Universe, by Thomas K. Carpenter

Five stars.

Reread this book, getting back into the Hundred Halls while waiting for new offerings from Mr. Carpenter. A pleasure, for sure. Magic, mystery, suspense, lots of human characteristics—good and bad, for sure!—humor and pathos.

More than some of the other books in the universe, Remi survives a laudable character arc, and the other main characters are truly satisfactory. I look forward to the other books in this series.


I was pleased by this addition to the Universe, and I recommend it to readers of contemporary fantasy.


I obtained this book through a Kickstarter. I read the ebook on my MacBook Air, using Apple’s Books app. The cover calls out for a color reader, but the balance of the book is fine on a monochrome reader.


This review will be posted at Amazon and Goodreads, and other sites.
