When Sal met Liette. If you know Seven Blades then you want to know how it happened. And since its Sal, you know it involves mayhem and destruction, cause it's Sal. Vintage Sal.

Who doesn’t love a good meet-cute?
That being said, this definitely gave me a lot more insight into Sal and Liette and the relationship they have, tenuous and uncharted as it is. I really enjoyed this little novella, but it still somehow didn’t tide me over in my desire to return to the world, and I found the one-shot less engaging than the book. I’m so looking forward to Ten Arrows of Iron! August can’t come fast enough!

A brilliant prequel to "Seven Blades in Black"!!!
In this novella, we learn about how Sal the Cacophony meets one of her strongest allies! Readers learn about the hypocrisy surrounding both the Imperium and the Revolution!!! This should be read AFTER "Seven Blades in Black" so that readers are not confused by the elements of world-building.
I'm looking forward to reading Book 2 in "The Grave of Empires"!!!

This was my first taste of Sam Sykes‘ writing and it’s totally my jam. It has a neat Final Fantasy feel with the big guns and swords and magic and cannons, but the real heart of the story was the relationships between the characters.
That banter!! I love it.
I’m really looking forward to Seven Blades in Black now!
