Wow. Just wow. This is hands down the best novella I’ve ever read. I mean I genuinely would not change a thing. I have so much love for these characters that I would take a 600-page novel about just them. But I know that they are not the focus of this duology and that’s why they just get the novella. That being said, I think the pacing of this story was perfect. We got to learn so much about Lilith and her personality to understand her and her motives while also getting to see bits and pieces of Vale, who I assume will be very much involved moving forward. And let me just say, Carissa Broadbent knows how to write men who will literally burn the world and get on their knees and grovel for these women and I’m obsessed.
