So much emotion was packed in the 30 pages. The writing is beautiful and lyrical. I felt like I was there standing next to the main character and her squire. The ending, wow wow wow. The ending gave me chills.

I had never given a book under 100 pages more than 4 stars. This book deserves it. Not only does the author manage to establish a good story, but she manages to establish character traits and flaws as well! Almost no names or specifics but the weight of the plot balances out any need for specifics. I will be reading all these other novellas and possibly whatever else this author has written. My life was somehow changed by 30 pages!
