  “While this book was nice (it was attached to The Witch is Back on my Kindle verison) it didn't really give me much depth in to what Rand feels for Jolie. I still feel that something is missing. ”

  “A short story in the Jolie Wilkins world told from Rand's POV. It's very short, covering the scenes from book two with the werewolf bite and the near-bonding.
  
  I really didn't get anything new from this novella and wouldn't have been happy if I'd paid money for it, but luckily it was tacked on to the end of The Witch is Back. It's basically just a retelling of events thorough Rand's eyes, but the thing is, unlike other POV snippets where you're dying to get the other person's take on it, I was already quite satisfied with what I perceived to be Rand's side of the story with regards to the bonding and Sinjin's interferences, etc.. And I was right in my assumptions, so I didn't really learn anything new here. Rand loves Jolie, is jealous and irritated by Sinjin, and is scared to bond with Jolie in case one of them dies in the war. You already knew all that, right?
  
  Now a Sinjin point of view, seeing as we have no clue what his true motivations are... now THAT would be interesting!”

  “Honestly, this read like it really should have been a chapter included within the previous book. Certainly not a stand alone book.”

  “read Dec. 12, 2011
  
  I had of course heard that Be Witched was told in Rand's point of view and was excited to see a new scene through his eyes, so I was very surprised to find that this was only Rand's point of view of the night he and Jolie almost bonded.
  
  So you get nothing new from this book. It's like Midnight Sun is to Twilight. Yes, it was nice to read it in Rand's point of view, but what was the point? Why rewrite that specific chapter in Rand's point?
  
  I actually though it made Rand sound whiny and insecure actually. In the 50 pages, he's always jealous of Sinjin and worry about others with Jolie.
  
  Out of H.P's two series, this is my favorite one and I'm ready for the third book. Unfortunately this didn't help my craving. I've been reading a few novellas here recently and they've all been just a small extra plot not in the main book, not a retelling. ”
