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 was sceptical that a story could hold any weight when it is so short, but this book truly makes you feel like you’ve read a full length series. It truly left me speechless. It is so well written and compelling, I was crying by the end, it’s so utterly heartbreaking but in the best way possible. I think it may be one of my favourite reads ever!

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!

"I know him, and in knowing him I love him, and in loving him I cannot do as he wishes."

Never has a shorter story made me this emotional. Also second person prespective, which I love.
