This novella might not have been an epic, can’t put down page turner. But it was still a good page turner. It was a fun story that was easy to enjoy and get sucked into. You know from the beginning that this is a tale that is going to get a happily ever after. But, it was still a fun journey getting there. Which is all I want in a novella sometimes.
I love that Lilli and Aaron kind of have the insta-love thing going. But their relationship still starts off with the two of them beating the absolute crap out of each other. I always solve a good fight scene, and this one was kind of brilliantly written. It was very easy to imagine each movement and just how out of their depth both the characters are. Plus, what better way to meet your future partner?
Finally, this is all about prophecies and the apocalypse. It’s fun trying to figure out just where the prophecy is going to take you. And how a multitude of meanings can come from a single prophecy. A reminder that even if we believe that fate and the future is set in stone, there are always surprises on the horizon.
