I don’t have the proper words to describe what a journey this novella was. From the first sentence onward, I was hooked! This story invoked so many emotions from me, I can hardly believe it was told in 30 pages. This could’ve easily been a fantastic concept for a full fledged fantasy series, but it was just as impactful as is! I think if you wanted to read this, just go in blind- you’ll thank yourself for it! 

 

While this book was very much a fantasy novel, I took soooooo much more from it and applied it to so many situations in modern day. “Is it worth it?” Wow. Such a simple statement and it has quite literally changed my life. 

 

I hope the rest of the short stories in this series are just as good!! If not, I'm totally okay with this being the shining star of the group. I will definitely make time to read more by this author in the future!
