Just Okay...

I was hoping this would be a story, not 4 short stories... I'm. Looking forward to the next full length book.

This is a very quick read (more a novella than anything else) that appears to be a little odd to place in the overall timeline, but came second in the collection I have. It was fun and interesting, particularly given the span of time.

Too short! I need more Zara, she is awesome. I hope she’s a main character in the next book.

It was a great little book to show the window of time that the second book jumped

Though quite short, even for a novella, it was interesting to see what Zara did after her discovery of magic.

I handicap my ratings on short stories because my natural inclination is to hate their innately unsatisfyingly short nature. This story narrowly missed being a two because of said handicapping. I feel as though Zara deserved more for her grand sacrifice than a rushed doomed passion and settling for a life in which she is basically the town's Granny Weatherwax without the wrinkles.
I know this is meant to be a bridge between the second and third books, but.... Bleh, this should probably have just been the first part of the third book. I hope there is a magical coming out of the closet and Zara gets to go home.
Writing this review because I felt it was unfair for this to get the same score as the other books in the series without an explanation.
