I feared this novella was going to be a miss for me. The beginning was pretty slow in my opinion, and filled with informations that were interesting, but I think were taking a lot of space, especially in a novella.
However, when the two characters appeared, and the reason of their presence in the Shadow Market was known, everything became so much more interesting. The second half was just too good for my little heart. I adored having Brother Zachariah as the main protagonist, instead of seeing him only as a background character, supporting the background story. I also loved Sister Emilia. Not only what she did for Brother Zachariah, but just her personality. I would love to see her again someday!
I absolutely loved the ending. And as per usual with these two, tears were rolling down my cheeks.

"There is nothing so sweet as feasting upon the bones of my enemies. Especially with you at my side."

Will, my heart.
