Gave it 3 stars as felt 12 pages not long enough. Would have given 4 stars if a bit longer!

What was the purpose of this novella? It was miserable. Completely and utterly miserable. Also, it revealed no new, pertinent information. We already knew that Jonathan was a shmoe. All that was accomplished was an unnecessary illustration of that shmoeness. Ugh.

I can't believe that this was written by the same author as the rest of this series. I will be reading the 3rd book in the series, but think I'll be avoiding these short novellas now.

I got this story because it was part of The Taker series. But this was not even a shorty story! Only a few pages, and it shows Evangeline's feeling leading to her wedding to Jonathan. And even them doesn't give us much.
Left me wishing for more of their story!
Glad it was free and I didn't waste any money on it

The Marriage Price by Alma Katsu is another short story from The Taker series and it reunites readers with Jonathan’s hometown just before he marries child-like Evangeline. Told from Evangeline’s point of view, readers will get a taste of her less than innocent side as she talks of the finery and the house that will be hers once she is married to Jonathan. There’s is clearly not a love match in more ways than one as Jonathan’s family chose her for him, and she clearly has ulterior motives of her own.
She’s a naive girl who is chosen by his family to become his wife as Jonathan’s father declines in health. While Lanore from The Taker and The Reckoning does not appear in the short story, her presence is clearly felt by Evangeline, who — while naive about the sexual relationships between men and women — is not blind to the emotional connection between Jonathan and Lanore.

I have absolutely no idea what the point of this book was about and it gave me no incentive to read anything by the author. I know it was a short story but it had no plot and the main character gave me no cause to like her, and was fairly one dimensional.
