It's funny how I seem to gravitate to series usually, yet I have a growing love for fantasy novellas.
I love how much depth of character, and world building they can have in such a short time.
This novella is one of the best I've ever read, and I don't say that lightly considering I rarely enjoy urban fantasy.
Dymitr's story, told in the span of 2 days, is beautiful and haunting. I absolutely adored the dynamic between him, Ala and Niko!
The lore? Wow. I would absolutely LOVE to see more books in this world.
If you like dark, gritty, well built yet fast paced fantasy: be sure to check this out.
I won't summarize more than the synopsis does, because I truly think the best way to enjoy this story is by going in blind.
