*WARNING: The last part of this review DOES contain spoilers* I really liked learning about Elizabeth's past and how she got into the dark arts to begin with. A lot of times I was frustrated with her character because I thought she was being selfish, stupid, and irresponsible. At times it felt like the story was rushed too much, I know it's suppose to be a short story but I felt like it had a lot of potential and would have been so much better if it were longer. Overall though, I thought it was a really great story.





**SPOILERS** The ending when they say Goodwife Crews was serving the One Beneath and that she cursed Nat to get revenge on Widow Porter, that part didn't make much sense to me. It seemed like that part was just thrown in so that Elizabeth could get away with what she did to Nat and no one would know (except for Pru). I really want to know more about what happened to Elizabeth after everything happened. Did Pru ever find proof to convince Widow Porter that Elizabeth was actually responsible for her son's death? What going to happen between Pru and Elizabeth now? Though this would have effected the storyline of Spellcaster, but it would have been interesting to see what would have happened if Elizabeth turned out to be pregnant and she fought to keep the baby.

This novella intrigued me enough to want to keep going with this series. I haven't read Spellcaster yet, but I do plan to now. I want to know how Elizabeth ties into the story and how knowing her background gives more to it. I would recommend this quick read. Overall well written and entertaining. 4 out of 5 stars. ( )
