This stopped just as it started to get interesting.. the ending was far too abrupt. It didn't make sense to leave it there with so much more left to say. Really annoying because I was starting to enjoy myself.

This is wee novella that’s technically book 3.5 after the original trilogy. The main character is one who was pivotal in the 2nd and 3rd books previously, and is a short but epic adventure that gives a few clues and insight to what happened right after book 3. I love the little info snippets that add to that story as well, and propel the MMC’s actions and decisions in this one. A worthwhile addition to the big Abhorsen series!

I enjoyed seeing Nick better than he was is Abhorsen but I dearly missed the other characters.
I thought Department 13 was interesting in a sense but not very deep. I wanted more of everything. Also, what's up with Lirael wanting to get away so quickly? She just arrived and was trying to leave. Urgh.
Can't believe that this series is over. Makes me very sad!

This novella is great to get to know Nick Sayer better. He didn’t leave a remarkable impression in Lirael and Abhorsen but in this novella he really shines and shows his wit and bravery.
