Review: Adds little to series,  very confusing if  have not been reading series

First off let me say I love the series.  But I find some of the reviewers tend to feel that because it is a good series, it can contain no bad books.For anyone who has been reading the series, this book adds no character development, no additional background and essentially no plot activity except for the obvious engagement of Marcus and Cassidy.  Their getting engaged should not be a surprise to any followers of the series.  It was obviously implicit from the last book.While one of the hallmarks of this series has been the loving characters and their joie-de-vie, it does not come across in this short novella.  So you gain no new insights into the series.  No significant action occurs to snag your interest.  The series is strong because of the moments of gentle human happiness that resonate with the reader; but these were  missing for me in this novella.This novella is inexpensive, which often works as a good mechanism to introduce a series to new readers.  In this case I would strongly discourage any readers who have not been following the series from attempting to read this novella or even worse using it to judge the series.  Unless you have some background on the characters and the rules of magic in this series you will not only be lost but also get a bad impression of what is a great series.If you find this review unhelpful, please leave a note what details would make it more helpful.  If we just disagree,people are entitled to have different tastes.
