I just needed to dip my toes in the water before we go for a dive. The series crossed my feeds and I've just been in a fantasy escapism mood lately, and YA is usually where it's at when you need to get lost within a world with ease.

This prequel novella was all slow burn and fast paced intros. I'm hoping as I venture into the official first book of the series where the characters are a little older, it'll feel less choppy and more fleshed out. Weston Grey, I hope we'll get to see more of you.
