Review: Really Good but much too Short
Rating: 5 out of 5

A great story but much too short! It's unusual for a tale to have so little interplay with minor ones for most of the narrative, but this one does--and it works, with only the three main characters interacting with each other. The descriptions of all three are revealing, especially the detailing of bodiless entities, of the lives of creatures existing as light and dark and on a different plane from our own.  Since most of the action takes place on a mental level, there's not all that much dialogue but that doesn't detract from the tale a bit. I was caught up in hoping something would save Tannis from the inevitable death by assassin, and wondering if Kadin was as villainous as she thought him. The entire story left me wanting to know more...about Kadin, about Tannis, of what happens to Nick, and Zoril, a who orchestrated the whole thing.Like the title, Will o' the Wisp is just the wisp of what appears to be to be an ever longer one just waiting to be told. There's enough hints in this story for a full-length novel.  So I'm wondering if there's any chance the author may enlarge upon it at a later date, or perhaps spin off a series. I'll look forward to that.
