This is a short read but a good one, definitely worth it. I actually read this after reading the Feyland trilogy but really should/could be read before the trilogy but even if you're already read the trilogy I still recommend reading it. I also just re-read it as part of the Faery Realms collection and found just as good the second time around.Feyland is a magical realm that is accessed through a SIM computer game. Jennet, the main character and a top gamer, sneeks on to the new FullD sim system her dad is working on developing and plays the new top secret game (Feyland) that her "uncle" is the lead game designer for. Instead of playing a full emersion game like she expected instead she's transported into the Fey world where losing a battle may have more dire outcomes than she ever imagined.If you've already read the triology I still recommend reading this novella. It gives us more information about the Queen's plot to bring Jennet to her as well as how Jennet became the person we see in the later books in the triology. Overall, it gives a good introduction to the events and adventures that lead up to the start of the trilogy and gives you good background info. If you haven't read the Feyland triology this is a great jumping off story that will definitely get you hooked in the cool world Anthea has created with some great characters and that puts a different spin on the stories about the fey world. I definitely recommend this book as well as the rest of the Feyland trilogy and the spin-off series the Feyguard.
