If, like me, you’re a fan of the Deathsworn Arc, you will love this short prequel. If you don’t know this series yet, do yourself a favor and download Lady Death ASAP. It’s a short read and I guarantee that you’ll want to jump into the next novel immediately. This prequel features my favorite character, Lady Vashni. Looking back at my reviews of this Arc, I see that she was my fave ever since the first volume because she’s strong, smart and independent. This is a prequel so she still hasn’t been changed by her adventures and, even if she’s not the most empathetic of women (or elves?), she does something unexpected that made her more human. The last volume I read in the series was the one published 4 years ago, so I was worried that I had forgotten what was going on but I immediately remembered everything and went back to the first novel. They tie up perfectly. This is a very addictive and compelling fantasy series.
