WICKEDLY SPIRITED is the book
"3.5" in the Baba Yaga
Series and is a really quick read. I finished this novella in one sitting and
found it to be really entertaining. If you are a fan of Baby Yaga Series
then you are in for a treat. This book gives you more of an insight into
Jazz, who is the powerful apprentice to Baba Yaga. Jazz has a
tendency to help the Broken Riders regardless of the fallout that might
happen. You first meet orphan Jazz in the first book of the series,
Wickedly Powerful, when the three Broken Riders were tortured. When
Jazz saw what the aftermath entailed to these brave warriors, she is
determined to help them get back everything they lost, even she knows
she shouldn't sneak behind her teacher, Bella's back. Jazz is not
perfect, but she does know right from wrong. Luckily for Jazz, she has
Koshka, Bella's magical dragon who actually takes the form of a cat, to
help guide her. Together they help each other find the truth.
WICKEDLY SPIRITED is full of action
and drama, woven into a tale filled with magic and hope. You will enjoy
reading this novella about a brave and determined heroine that has
been through so much herself but still does not want anyone else to
suffer. The characters are fun, quirky, and magical. Some are harder to
forget than others. I would have liked to have read more about Sam and
feel it would have helped more with the overall story/plot line. The
setting is dreamy and magical which makes it perfect for the story. Will
they succeed? Will there be a happy ending? You will have to read to
find out!
Jazz, the powerfully magical teen first introduced in
Wickedly Powerful, is now being trained as a Baba
Yaga—and she’s determined to free the Broken Riders herself.
Jazz had a rough life before meeting her guardian, and she
knows she’s lucky that Bella is training her to be a Baba
Yaga. But the gifted young witch is frustrated by the slow
pace of her lessons. Jazz knows she’s capable of even
greater magic, and she wants nothing more than to find a
spell that will give the Riders back the immortality they lost.
With the reluctant assistance of Bella’s dragon-turned-cat
Koshka, Jazz travels to the Otherworld to get the necessary
ingredients to perform the spell. A willful young witch,
dangerous magic, and one powerful wish—what could possibly
go wrong?
