A review by kanissa
A Test of Mettle by Kevin Hearne
3.0
This is a short story, so it's hard for me to review. I don't read a lot of them, and you can't really compare it to a novel!
I felt it came off very "new age"-y, certainly more than the novels in the series do. There's a lot of crying while considering the trees. I realize that is part of Granuaile's test, to become more attuned to nature, but it ended up feeling almost like I was being lectured.
Partly because this is so short - only 10 pages in the PDF version I read - it didn't really add much to the series as a whole. It's a cute little interlude, but I didn't leave it with the feeling that I knew more about Granuaile or the druids.
