This is the novella situated in between The Serpent and the Wings of Night and its sequel. The ending of the first book was so crazy that it was a little painful to make a pit stop before moving on to book 2, but I’m really glad I did! The characters from this novella are in book 2, so I have a deeper appreciation for them and their backstory. But even just on its own, this was a great read. Broadbent did a good job of narrowing the scope so the story fit the length, while still giving the reader depth and character arcs. The romance plot is a bit quick, but I get that’s necessary for this structure.
