I was delighted when this book was delivered today and I dropped everything in order to read it. I'll probably read it again before I go back to business as usual.
The Book Devouring Horde loves Augustine Montgomery and has been waiting p*tiently for this novella. It was great fun to learn more about illusion mages like Augustine and animal mages like Diana Harrison. Both magic branches are secretive about their abilities, so Augustine and Diana try to give answers that don't reveal too much. Readers, however, are privy to their thoughts.
We also get a glimpse of the relationship between Augustine and Arabella Baylor. Augustine and Nevada Baylor have swapped siblings to provide internship experience. At the end of the book, House Andrews has included the short fiction about Arabella previously published on their blog. Which is nice, but more importantly, they have also written a short piece that intersects with the primary novella. They know what we like.
Now, I must confess, I thought this novella would be a one and done affair. After all, the Andrews have so many series underway and their Horde is always ready to Devour more. At the end there is enough unfinished business to justify another volume. Of course I will be delighted to read it if or when they care to write it. I am nothing if not chalant.
