Spoilers Ahead: So I didn’t realise it was a novella until after I bought it, and I must say, I haven’t read one before, so it has been an experience. I thought the pacing in this was really off, just because it went so fast, but that is the point of a novella so I can understand it - however, it’s not for me. The ending I thought was really abrupt, and it all felt rushed, and took the excitement away from it. The plot itself was really interesting, and I think it would have done well as a novel, but nonetheless, I’d say it’s a book that would be good to read on journeys, or just in one sitting.
