Review: I easily immersed myself in her world - a world I could practically see, it was so clear.

I have no idea where I found this book or why I chose to download it.  It's not my usual genre, but a period piece and a prelude to a historical romance at that (my least favorite genre).That being said, this novella was amazing.  Parnell created Silvia's world with an unencumbered flare for detail.  I easily immersed myself in her world - a world I could practically see, it was so clear.  The characters were engaging and likable.  The scenes were real, smooth, and pulled the reader into the moment, feeling tension and anxiety for Silvia.I finished this novella and immediately wanted to go out a get the next installment, Dark Splendor.  Totally brilliant and I entirely encourage you to pick it up.  I just wish I could pick up the next book and read it now!
