Beautifully dark and gothic. Character development a little lacking but story was good.

Read this after Heir of Fire and was gutted. I love these stories and how they intersect with the main books. Novellas done right.
The Wren in the Holly Library by K.A. Linde
Did not finish book. Stopped at 31%.

Hard to get into it. FMC read like she’s a teen but is in her 20’s? Love interest seems forced with no explanation other than “he’s hot.” World is full Lore that isn’t explained. I thought I had missed a book. Nope, I’m just supposed to know what is happening. Life too short to finish this one out.
