How Vlora meets Taniel and Bo and gets adopted by Tamas ( )

McClellan has given us another chance to visit the world of his Powder Mage series with this short story. Set before the events of "Promise of Blood", this story is just a short excursion back to the time when Taniel and Vlora were younger. For any reader of McClellan's debut novel out earlier this year (2013) you should enjoy this foray into a bit of the background for a couple of the characters. ( )

Very short, but enjoyable short story. And I think it just bumped Promise of Blood up my reading list quite a bit because I definitely want more. ( )
