Fellion is a Lamplighter, able to provide illumination through magic. A group of rebel Monarchists free her from indentured servitude and take her on a journey to rescue trapped compatriots from an underground complex of mines.

But Fellion has more than just her Lamplighting skills up her sleeve..."--… (meer)

2.5/3 stars. I really wanted to like this, it just feels unfinished. There's a lot of worldbuilding I want to know more about and seems half constructed, especially early in the novella. Unfortunately, I doubt any additional stories will be fleshed out in this universe. A shame because I think the groundwork is here. The main character I did not find particularly likeable and is the most fleshed out but still very incomplete. Again, I feel if this was a full-length novel it would have been more likely to feel like a complete story. (

Excellent musing on and subversion of The Chosen One trope. I’d gladly read more stories set In this world. (

Vividly written and left me wanting more. (

There is a reason that there is a distant feeling for the characters in this adventure in which a young servant mage, a person bound into service by the Liberationists who a couple of generations earlier ousted the Monarchists, is taken by a small group of Monarchists who require her specific ability to rescue some of their trapped forces. But the result of the distancing is to remove immediacy from the telling. The same adventure could have been told as a better read, but this is a better story than going the default route. (

I have read well over a thousand fantasy and sci/fy novels over the years and this is one of the worst. I noticed that the author has published over twenty novels in the genre in the past so I was expecting something good. It seems that Ms. Elliott is just going through the motions rushing to get to the end to get to the next book in a series. The characters and settings are not well developed and the plot is very sketchy. ( a young girl with powers is kidnaped to help rescue a baby in an ill defined revolution).. Don't waste you time on this one. (
