k this premise is ABSURD what woman in her right mind would be okay with this 'job'??? particularly when her ONE friend is like "lol this sketch AF." This is probably informed by knowing a large spoiler but this opening is legit So. Sketch.

This is nothing that I expected it to be thus far.

some certain foreshadowing has got me all !!!!!!!!

K things got interesting again when the perspective began to switch with every chapter, but do u rly need a WHOLE chapter to say "Hendel turned around and found Balinor, Dayel, and Durin, but instead of rescuing them as intended, ended up imprisoned with them"

Ah, just what was missing; demons, time travel, and uncomfortable romance

I want to note now, while I remember, and before the book proves me wrong: Allanon is Black and Menion is gay. Carry on.

Loved the intro – short, sweet, and still evocative – and got some 5 star vibes from the first story. V excited abt this collection
