Love it just as much or more than the first time 😍

I love these characters and want their complete story. I love them more than the characters in the main story! Please Laurie, write the full prequel story of Tessla and Vale, no matter how heartbreaking it is! ❤️❤️

Okay. Wandfasted is an incredible novella, that being said, I wish we’d gotten more of the rebellious side of Vale & Tess. However, the novellas will help me wait until the next book after Demon Tide is released!

There's a really big diversion between what the first half of the book and the second half.

I greatly enjoyed the first half of the book but found the second half more often uncomfortable to read due to some of the ways the characters talked about some of the fictional races.
