I read these with more and more dread as I go through them. One would think, with the way things seem to be going, that it's getting better - and yet, I can't shake the feeling that it's going to get so much worse first. 
 I'm a little disappointed in Calaena - how she could even begin to trust Arobynn again, after what he did and what he demanded...It doesn't really jive with the intelligence I've seen her exhibit before. However, that being said, he did dangle a very tempting carrot in front of her, so I can see that being a bit blinding. 
 I just know the next novella is going to break my heart. I had a few moments here where I almost could see how bad it was going to get, and now I'm nearly sure of it. It makes me a little afraid to read the next novella.
