As a fan of Puck, of course I was psyched to see a novella from his point of view.  Interestingly, to me, Meghan does not make an appearance as Puck and Ash go off and have their own little adventure before searching for Grim, which I assume is the plot for The Iron Knight.  She is discussed but based on this story, I'm already way more interested in a Puck/Ash romance than I ever was in Meghan/Ash-is there any fan-fiction with that pairing? I think it's because I find Meghan so bleh while Puck is super exciting.  I love how he always nettles Ash.

Another cool aspect is that the Iron Fey don't make an appearance because this is almost entirely set in the Summer Kingdom.  The rivalry of Titania and Lea plays a prominent role as does Puck's penchant for mischief.

Overall: A fun story-appealing to fans of both Puck and Ash.
