Review: Best novella EVER!
Rating: 5 out of 5

You see those five stars up there? Pretty sure that’s the first time I’ve ever handed out five stars to a novella or short story. And I shouldn’t have been surprised at all, because it came from Laini Taylor. This novella was everything I was hoping for and more. You get to peek inside Zuzana’s mind (which is just as adorable and hilarious as expected) AND you get to see things from Mik’s perspective, which is just so sweet. This story is the perfect example of a satisfying novella: fantastic writing, humor, magic, mystery, and a complete story. What continually impresses me about Laini Taylor’s writing is that she makes every story feel so very REAL. This didn’t feel like a “deleted scene,” like so many other novellas. This felt like I was experiencing a night with Zuzana, a night with Mik, a night in that magical world — and it felt like home.
