Well y'all... Of the few novellas that I have read, I have never liked a single one of them. Too short, no plot, always something that kept me distanced from the story. But after reading Deity, I picked up Apollyon, and at the beginning, there was a note that talked about Elixir and what the story was about. I read some reviews, and basically came to the conclusion that I would be an idiot not to read it. I am so glad that I read it, and I humbly apologize to novella's everywhere. You may not all be for me, but I need to give more of you a chance. So, the take away is this: I thoroughly enjoyed Elixir, and reading from Aiden's POV. I am about halfway through Apollyon now, and I believe 100% that reading this novella added another layer, new depth, to Apollyon that I would have missed out on. So, if anyone else is question whether or not to read this, take it from me. YES!
