Resumen del Editor

Captain Astuawilda Kaika is an elite forces soldier, a demolitions expert, and a woman who loves secret missions. She most certainly isn't someone with the patience to teach General Zirkander's raw cadets how to survive encounters with the enemy. Certain she's been given this duty as a punishment, she confronts her superiors, only to find out that King Angulus himself gave her the assignment.

When she attempts to reasonably and respectfully - and certainly not presumptuously - explain to him that she's not suited for teaching, she gets swept up in a mission to a secret research facility that has been invaded by enemy agents. Soon, she, King Angulus, and General Zirkander are engrossed in an investigation that could change the world - and destroy all that they know.

probably my favorite so far

There was a light heartedness to this one that I really loved. It was nice getting some new perspectives as well. I laughed out loud a few times. This is also a pretty significant story for the series even though it's not long at all.

Exciting & Funny!

The banter between the eccentric characters is fun, and no small amount of intrigue for such a short book. I don’t normally bother with novellas, but I’m really enjoying this series & want to make it last!
My only criticism is for the narrator, who still seems to be struggling to make the descriptive text flow smoothly, and follow the indicated punctuation with her voice inflection. There are many pauses that would indicate a period or a comma, right in the middle of sentences. It interrupts the flow of language in the story & is a little distracting to listen to.
But I like the books well enough that I will continue to buy them anyway!

Short but good

Love series this one too short nice diversion ? Set up for next book ?looking forward too it

A little short

This book is very short for the money. I’ll probably stop at this one in the series.

another amazing book

I love the characters and the emerging relationships. new ones arise in each book. I can't wait to read the next one.

It was good I enjoyed it

I like Epics and fantasy & science fiction. This fits the bill. The orator was not a mono tone. 👍

Best series

This is a great story and performed very well. The entire set kept my attention and left me wanting more.

Wonderful as audible!

Lindsey is a GREAT writer, and you were SO lucky to have Caitlin to read her works. The perfect combination for an audible! We’ll done…I listen to each volume more than once…

This was a novella length story that takes us on a side trip with Captain Astuawilda Kaika. Apparently, King Angulus has done a bit of noticing the demolitions expert and explosion making happy Captain and is feeling a little threatened by the talent and reputation of Colonel Zirkander. Yes, his wife was just killed, but they had an arranged marriage in the first place - it wasn't a love match - and we found out in the last book some very disturbing information about the Queen's actions towards her husband.

So, being King, he decided to go on this mission with Kaika - to the utter disbelief of his advisors. He is telling himself that he has nothing to prove.... but, he really is trying to prove that he is more than his current reputation. And to be honest, being kidnapped and held prisoner didn't help his feelings of self-worth and adequacy.

This was a fun shorter story and it was interesting to see the two characters together. They seem to feed off of each other and I think both the King and Kaika have met their match.

Love these books.

Another awesome addition to the saga. Getting in-depth with the various characters is fun and keeps me reading.
