I love Cassandra Harwood so much, and I love these novellas. Cassandra is doing her best, every day, and that’s not always… that successful. I think I love her so much because I identify with her fierce independence and stubborn self-reliance. Cassandra spent her life fighting to prove herself as a magician, and now that’s been taken away from her she doesn’t know how she fits into the world – or her relationship with the gorgeous Rajaram Wrexham. While the overt conflict of this novella is Cassandra’s ill-advised deal with a malicious elf, I was far more fascinated by her internal conflict as she tries to assert herself without losing the independence she’s fought for and ‘compromising’ Wrexham. The novella is light and fluffy, and I found myself just laying around grinning at my phone as I read it, and the ending added just enough intrigue that I had to know what was happening next.
