What a weird little novella - I had fun, but I also couldn't really tell you what was going on and why? Which I think is partially my own inability to understand fantasy but also perhaps partially a flaw of the piece. There's more questions left unanswered by the end than answered, which I don't know is a real negative (it's a novella, not everything is going to get addressed), but I think people would be more tolerant if there were like 10 more pages here or the promise of a series. Should the latter manifest, I don't feel the need to return personally, but I certainly wouldn't encourage people to do the same. If you liked Legends & Lattes, you may like this one.

Thank you TOR and NetGalley for the ARC!
