Review: Humorous yet Revealing

Usually I have find that novellas are frivolous but I have to admit that I enjoyed this one and it had somewhat substantial content.  It was humorous throughout.  I was thrilled that the Morrigan was central to the story.  She is never disappointing.  Her personality oscillates from being kind one moment to being her usual devious self the next.  Atticus's dread about her is palpable and oh so entertaining.  His analysis of her "home" was funny.  "She could rock a lair like nobody else...Bones, I noticed were a strong decorative motif.  Skulls too.  Perhaps that subconsciously tilted me toward the word lair instead of home; few homes are so abundantly adorned with bones--especially ones that the owner has quite possibly gnawed on."  The Morrigan's desperate attempt at modern slang was laughable when she mentioned "boogie calls" rather than "bootie calls."  When Atticus corrects her, her eyes turn red so he plays it off as if he misheard her.  Great scene.  Atticus joining the "Wild Hunt" was unexpected and awesome.  On the flip side, there was some serious revealing moments as to Atticus's past in regards to his long life and also a hint of his future.  It seems to be setting the scene a bit for "Trapped."
