When I first the MK series I didn't love her. She grew on me but I didn't love her.. or Archer. However reading this novella may have swayed them both for me. As a couple I hate to admit it but they are adorable. Steele and Kody are still my favorites. I love each of them with her separately and together. Hell I even love their bromance. They are just great.

I really liked this peek into their present. I love Hades and can't stand Seph, it was nice to see that despite being friends with Seph, that MK was also irritated with how in the dark she was and conflicted with not being able to tell her. I will agree that Hades was pig headed in keeping her sister informed but I also get why she wanted to shelter her.

MK's injury in Hades is sooo downplayed vs in the novella. It's almost comical how it all went down. Usually a novella after a series makes me want MORE but since this one takes place along side Hades, I feel pretty content. I hope to see more of Shadow Grove in the upcoming Guild series but if not NOT.
