Dawson) short, but must admit I was a bit lost with the Miriam Black (Chuck Wendig) short.
First, I am an existing fan of the first two and listened to the Iron Druid in audio throughout, so the novella was like sliding back into a comfortable shoe in preparation for the new release.
Although I've read perhaps half or more of Dawson's Blud series I had not previously listened to any of the audio for it. I have to say I really enjoyed the audio for this.

Chuck Wendig's Miriam Black series has been on my TBR list, with no attention, for all together too long.

I would realize that I couldn't tell if she was talking about something that was really happening or something she had a vision of.

I have had the Sisters of the Moon series by Galenorn on my TBR list for some time but have not yet made time for it. This short was entertaining and further encouraged me to prioritize that series. 4 stars
Both the Allyson James and the Jeanne C. Stein shorts were engaging enough to make me curious about the series they related to. 3-3.5 stars....more
