(E-Book)
I was utterly bored by this story. It was like a very long run-on chapter. Took me over 2 weeks to finish.
I think part of my appeal to this series is the narration. I read this one with my eyes, not my ears, so it was hard to get through.

This was actually the first old kingdom book I read. But it makes much more sense this time around. It was alright nothing spectacular but it was okay.

Almost didn’t read this one, being too excited for Goldenhand. So happy that I did though! It was short and sweet and showed you a little into the life of Nick and his PTSD from Abhorsen. It also plays nicely into the story after reading Clariel and understanding what someone who has both Charter and Free Magic is capable of.
Garth Nix… you did it again.

Basically a monster chase. Readable and definitely not bad. But I kind of wanted more. More details, more depth, more story. And it had a bit of an abrupt ending. And given the body count, it still seemed a little too easy.

Nothing massively wrong or right with this novella. However, compared to the previous novels in the series it leaves much to be desired.
