This is wee novella that’s technically book 3.5 after the original trilogy. The main character is one who was pivotal in the 2nd and 3rd books previously, and is a short but epic adventure that gives a few clues and insight to what happened right after book 3. I love the little info snippets that add to that story as well, and propel the MMC’s actions and decisions in this one. A worthwhile addition to the big Abhorsen series!
