I absolutely love this series! This one-shot serves as both interesting backstory for one of the main characters and something that can indeed be read all on its own,with no prior knowledge about "Eldair." Whether you're a die hard fan or looking to get into this series, you owe it to yourself to check out "Sorcerer's Courtship"! Bonus/spoiler alert: There's an awfully familiar cameo by someone ...hmmm... I wonder who it could be.... XD
