With this particular novella, I only chose to read the summary listed here on Goodreads, which is quite short. When I go into a novel or the supplemental material in a series, I try and remain as unspoiled as I can for personal enjoyment's sake. That being said, I do wish that I had gone into this with a better idea of what this story was actually about, because I think not knowing exactly what I was getting into sort of impacted my enjoyment of it until I figured out exactly what I was reading, and what sort of story this novella was trying to tell. Fans of the complex world-building and layered politics and relationships between the various cultures in this world are sure to love this simply for what it adds to the reader's understanding of the world and certain characters in it. Laurie Forest returns in this prequel novella to her stunning debut YA Fantasy novel, The Black Witch.
