Thanks so much to the publisher and Netgalley for this e-arc! I adored Evocation when it came out, so I was excited to read the updated and illustrated version of the prequel novella. Knowing what comes after made this all the more interesting, as I was already attached to the 3 MCs from Evocation.
The novella is short, and it doesn't waste its time; with Gibson's signature atmospheric language, it absolutely pulls you in and doesn't let you go. Moira and Rhys are such compelling characters, and even as they struggle, you can't help but root for their magic. David is much less in this than in Evocation, but I adore him, so it was interesting to see him in this smaller, more antagonistic role.
I can't decide which I think you should read first, so just go read this when its out on Oct 8th and go read Evocation ASAP!!
