*I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*This was the origins story of Lilette, who featured in the historical sections of Witch Born. It follows her and her parents fleeing for their life from those who wish to use witch powers for their own ends.I'm not going to give any of the story away here as it is just a short story novella to compliment the history element of books one and two. When I originally wrote this review, I thought that perhaps the novellas would gradually tell her story between further books about Senna and her witch clans. However it seems that the next book in the series is to be all about Lilette, picking up where the novella leaves off and I'm not too sure that it will be my kind of book though I will give it a try.Lilette herself is very like Senna, a young witch who is a bit scared of her powers and who had a difficult early life. It was easy to like her and feel sympathy for the situation that she finds herself in. The setting was purely historical for the later half of the book and it was quite slow compared to what we have been used to with Senna's story but that is probably because it is setting the scene for the continuation of the story to come.A decent enough read if you want to learn more about LiletteI rate this book 3 out of 5 on my star rating which is different to this site.1-didn't like2-ok3-like4-really liked5-loved
