I don't know who the editor is but it is unforgivable for them to not catch these errors. Woods will take notice - while I loved these books, the grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors were RIDICULOUS. I'm going to put this review on each book as I hope Ms. I also loved that there are prequels and reverse POV books to the series as well. I loved the characters and the great blend of old world and new. The plot is somewhat complicated but was easy enough to follow and it was very well thought out. It's a lot like Harry Potter - if you love HP, you'll love this. This was a fantastic series of dragon books. Won’t make the same mistake with the other novella associated with this series! I had read the first book (and the second one) so I did like and appreciate this.just should have read it before I read book two. And there’s not really much plot to this on its own-no real beginning, middle and end. You need to know what happened in Firebolt to get who the people are, their relationships, and understand the world they live in. But no, I’d merely missed out on the beginning (Venom).Īlso, Venom doesn’t stand alone very well. I was able to figure out what must have happened, but usually felt concerned I’d skimmed and missed some important things. And probably the author should have just left it in the novel because the rest of Thunderlight references things from this short novella over and over again, mostly without the kind of explanation necessary for anyone who has not read Venomt. I had planned to read it first since it’s listed as 1.5, but changed my mind at the last minute because I read something about reading this together with Thunderlight and I got worried I might get spoiled on something if I read this first. This was sort of like an extended beginning to Thunderlight, the second novel in the series. It is better to skip it than to force yourself to read it. So if you wonder if you can skip it and go on with the rest of the series, then the answer is a clear “Yes, you can”.

There is no story, it is boring and too long for nothing. But even though to write 100 pages for it, it seemed a little bit too much. The only thing that was of any interest is the part where Blake and Elena have their first almost kiss. And the answer was that it didn’t add anything new at all. I was at around 50 % when I asked myself the following question, “What does this book add to the story?”. It was light but it was not romantic or sentimental. I searched for the definition of a novelette and, for my information and of all of you: Novelette is a short novel, typically one that is light and romantic or sentimental in character. This is a very short book, a novelette so the review is gonna be shorter than usual.

I guess you could guess the quality of the book only by the quote I chose for it. “I guess even in a world of magic we are all slaves to cell phone towers.”
