I found this to be a very enjoyable quick read. For such a short novellla, it packed a punch. Yes lots of scenes felt like they jumped quickly from one to the next, but it was expected. I would have happily read this as a full length novel.

Alex Evans does a great job in writing this story, it had everything that I was looking for from the description. The characters were what I was looking for and they worked overall with this environment. It had a great fantasy element going on and I enjoyed how well everything worked together.

As a novella this is obviously a quick read but that doesn’t stop it from being a rip roaring story. If you enjoy fantasy, mystery and pageturners you will love this book.

I really enjoyed this novella and its definitely one I will be recommending!

After reading the blurb for the book I was intrigued, and I read it within a few days of it landing on my Kindle and I was really pleased with how much I had enjoyed it

I thought that the book had plenty of content and it was a well written novella with a good flow to it, it was quite fast paced. The story could easily have been expanded to be full length novel and I would also be really keen to read a follow up or another book with the characters as I think this could be a great start to a series.

There was certainly quite a lot going on in the book but I found it easy to follow and I liked how the story progressed.

It is 4 stars from me for this one, a good novella and really enjoyable!
