A Neophyte’s Tale centers around a young girl named Abbey, who lives with her troubled mother and witnesses something that changes her. She’s always been able to sense things more keenly than normal people, but she doesn’t know what that means yet. This novella is very short, so short that I left it without really getting a ‘feel’ for the upcoming story. It’s interesting, and I’m very curious as to who Lourdie is and what her story it like. I’m also pretty interesting in seeing what exactly this school that is mentioned briefly is like, and how Abbey will adapt to stability. I will be reading the first book, but I don’t feel a burning need to continue at this particular moment.
