It was okay, and the Talldeer story was the best of the lot (the Tregarde was a little problematic in terms of her established personal timeline and the depiction of one of the characters). I say wait for used or the e-book to drop to less-than-paperback prices if you can't get it at the library.
Worth a read if you liked the characters, but I did not consider the writing quality to be engaging enough to splurge on. |
Thanks PDCurrant and Drake.
It definitely does NOT sound like something I'll splurge on. I'm not huge on novellas unless they just happen to be a continuation of the story ( and why is this rarely the case??? Why???) I've yet to read a prequel that I found necessary or hugely entertaining. This sounds like an odd assortment. If I can get it for very cheap or free, I'll pick it up. I'm sure as heck not paying 12 dollars for it.
