Short and Sassy

Lallo gives a miniature installment of what life is like in Entwell. The reader is reminded of courage, strength, and hope that resides in all of us as we strive to find our place in the Great Story being penned by the Master Author and discover our incredible potential.

A little novella about a fairy named Ayna set in 'The Book of Deacon' series.

It covers a few aspects of Entwell that aren't dealt with in the main story: like how fairies are captured and used as compasses to guide people through 'The Cave of the Beast'.   Mostly, it does this through a young fairy named Ayna who has different ideas on what a fairy should aspire to once they reach Entwell.

I read the copy in 'The Book of Deacon Anthology' and while it's a nice little story i felt this had a few too many typos which become detracting at times.   Maybe someone needs to go back and correct all these little annoying errors and put out an update.   But, for now, it's still worth a read to add a bit more to ones knowledge of Entwell and its inhabitants.

Liked it, wish it had been longer. It was the last book in all of "Deacon" series that I read. I guess maybe I was looking to hold onto that world a little longer.

I am an avid reader. I find that reading distracts me from chronic pain when the typical methods fail. Joseph's books have given me more than just the usual enjoyment, they have provided much needed relief, I thank you for that! Because of Joseph's skill and artistry with words I found my mind completely involved in what was to happen next. Real page turners, I highly recommend ALL his books in the series!!!

An engaging short read; my only possible niggle would be that there's no explanation for Ayna's later indisputably irritable disposition. It's almost as though it's a completely different character. That said. I enjoyed reading it.

Cute story. If you've read the other books in the series then you already know the major events of Ayna's story, but reading it fleshed-out is a nice addition.
