3.5 stars
2 short stories and one novella set in the world of Sacoridia just in time for Green Rider's twentieth anniversary. (view spoiler)
Has it really been twenty years?
Granted, I started reading the series back in 2001? 2002? So I was a little late to the game.
Either way, this is a huge dose of nostalgia, with notes from Kristen Britain and some of her artwork (!!!).
The first two shorts are kinda terrible but decent. One is about healing through nature, and the other is a Oathbound rip-off of two women (a mage and a warrior) battling an evil sorcerer.
The best is the novella, where we finally see characters that we're familiar with and love. It's light, it's kinda fluffy, there's some meat to it, and it opens up the world a little more than it had been. It also brought back the Berry sisters, two characters who I don't particularly like because I felt that they took away from the main plot, but here they serve a purpose and a bit more is revealed about them.
All told, this was a nice little reprieve in the years' long countdown to book 7
only maybe 3 more years to wait!!
I received this ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.
