I loved this story.  Both Seremela and Duncan had already found places in my heart from their secondary roles in the main Elder Races story line, so when I heard that they were going to get a novella of their own I was thrilled.  I would have been happy with these two just having more page time but Devil's Gate went above and beyond, weaving a sweet and moving story while also expanding the world of the Elder Races and topped it all off by delivering on a killer happy beginning of an ending.When we first met Seremela in Storm's Heart she was interesting as a representation of a Medusa, however when she again turned up in Serpent's Kiss we discovered that she was also a smart, resourceful and underutilized character.  That she was finally able to fulfill more of her potential in this story was a joy to watch unfold.  Then there is Duncan.  I love Duncan.  If any side hero deserved his own story it was Duncan.  I am so glad that Ms. Harrison chose to fit Duncan in.  Not only is he an amazing character to watch, but he ends up to be such a perfect fit with Seremela that I have to believe that such a pairing was Ms. Harrison's plan all along.  I would love it if we could see more of these two in the future, as they were so much fun to delve into and I feel that they each have so much depth left to explore.This story was such a perfect little bite in the Elder Races series (to tide those of us addicted over until the next full novel comes out) that while--as always--I wish it had been longer, it was such fun while it lasted that it will help in keeping me sated until my next series fix.
