A Tale of Two Novellas

A Taste of Honey (The Sorcerer of the Wildeeps #2)
by Kai Ashante Wilson

Picture
Aqib bgm Sadiqi has a choice to make - uphold his family honour and marry a woman of higher standing, or run away with the soldier who has captured his heart.

Maybe I shouldn't have tried to read this directly after The Sorcerer of the Wildeep, which was wonderful. A Taste of Honey pales in comparison. That said, I don't think more time between the two would have changed my mind. This novella has a good twist ending, but the story takes too long to get there and as such most of it feels unnecessary. The world-building is mere padding.

A Taste of Honey would have had a lot more punch as a short story.
