5 star, quick read, perfect little novella!
Usually novellas feel like extra chapters to me that didn't make it into the main books... Not this one. Lilith is a scientist. She's a human. And she's dying. She's known this for a while. Yet despite her numbered days, she dedicates herself to righting the curse her father brought on her people. She thinks that through experimentation, she can cure her ill sister.
I loved that while this was a one-sit read, I really got to know both Lilith and Vale. I saw their relationship develop. I saw them grow and change and be fascinated with each other.
While this isn't essential to the Crown on Nyaxia series, this is probably the best novella I've ever read!
