I loved Elsabet and

Jonathan

together, platonically and romantically! Their relationship was just so relaxing to read!

While the deaths and the demise of Elsabet were obviously extremely sad, it was nice to read the hopeful endings to them too.

Oh and, fuck the Arrons. That's it.

Okay, this book has me all *huh*??

It started well enough and as the story was building up it just got cut in the middle like an amputated limb. Wha?? Wha?? I need more MEAT to this story. I hope there will be some reference to Elsabet in the next book. Ugh

The Not Knowing is literally killing me, and my love for this series.

But like any good bookworm, we persevere. Onward friends!

Eff the Arrons across time and space.
That is all.

While this novella doesn't feel quite as essential to the overall story as some, I still loved every minute of it. And what a rollercoaster of a ride! So many things were revealed about The Oracle Queen here. The final result was a complete surprise to me (though I was figuring things out along the way, it blew my initial assumptions about the Oracle Queen from the other books in the series out of the water). Highly recommend you read this if you're a fan of the series!!
