Review: Great novella

Some novellas and short stories are just that, short. Then there are those that are just perfect like they are, and this one was :)I think there is a fine line when writing novellas. Most often I get that feeling I want more, and not in a good way, they are just too short. I can't say how McClellan managed to make it so good but he did. This was an episode in Erika's life and yes of course I want more. But this story was perfect like it was. I just want more by the author instead.Ok yes yes I should stop talking about novellas, but you guys know me ;)Erika is a powdermage in a country where that is bad, but she is also a grand daughter of a Duke so that saved her. As lucky is not the person on the run she finds and decides to help. There is danger before them.And I liked meeting Erika as I knew from the book who she was. The little I knew also seemed interesting so this was fun to read. Now I kind of also want to see what she said when she meets a certain person for the first time.As it does take place before Promise of Blood you can read it before, or read it after. Just read it. The end.
