A bit short and it feels like I'm just getting to know the characters then BAM! it was already the last page. The Ankou lore was also interesting but I would have liked to know more. After all that's said, this is a novella after all so it was to be expected. This is the first time I've read a book by Samantha Young and I'd say it wasn't a bad intro at all. I look forward to checking out her other books.
