This would have been better if I'd read it before Veil of Spears. The racing bits were boring but I liked the rest.

I have only read this series by this author and every story in the series has been nothing short of amazing!

This is my favourite entry in the Shattered Sands series so far which was a pleasant surprise since I usually find myself enjoying series novels more than novellas!
This novella covers a piece of Leorah's backstory (who you get to know a bit more in A Veil of Spears) so I would recommend reading it after book 3! The story of this piece of her past worked so well for me on many levels, to me it had fantastic pacing and was the perfect balance of story, action, tension, emotional moments, and character reactions while still giving the reader more information about the series at large. I absolutely loved the ending where we find out the meaning behind the title of the novella as well.
There were moments, especially in the first half, where I found a few things a bit typical or predictable but there were also moments that managed to surprise me (in the second half in particular) and I loved the ride regardless!

Exciting, full of suspense and heart breaking! What more could you want from a novella?
