Appraisal:
Weighted
is
a gripping novella about survival and loyalty. Ciara Knight does a wonderful
job whetting the appetites of her readers with this 44-page thriller prequel to
The Neumarian Chronicles series. In so doing, the author does an amazing job of
developing her characters, especially the evil Queen and her naïve daughter,
Princess Semara. Raeth soon learns that Semara may be her only hope for
survival, or is she the good cop building trust to uncover Raeth’s biggest
