Ahoy there mateys! This was sadly a miss for an author whose work I usually love.  This novella is about "a world-hopping, bad-ass, spell-slinging mother who sets out to rescue her kidnapped son from a dragon lord."  Sadly it was time to abandon ship at 45%.

For such a short book, I experienced dread when trying to finish.  I couldn't really connect to the characters and the world building was so light.  Even the dragon didn't excite me.  I think the problem here might have been the length.  The ideas were interesting in concept but the pace felt so slow and the plot convoluted.  So far the two novellas I have read by Elliott both were problematic for me.  Maybe I need to stick to her novels.  Arrrr!
