Review

This novella was a quick and interesting read. I didn’t know what to expect. There is definitely a darker side to things as implied by the details. Once Enebish becomes Jaya under her grandfather’s tutelage for a new role in life is not easy at all. Not only must she endure the training, but determine what she must do as she gains insight into her grandfather that few will ever know. I like how the story is wrapped up at the end because it could have gone several ways and you don’t know until the end.
