review 1: Well, I'm glad to report that I enjoyed this very much. Billy's one of my favorite characters from the series (now I'm really just hoping that Mr. Scott does a short story/novella on Machiavelli -- although I'm sure Scatty would be involved somehow, considering Mr. Scott's and the readers' love of her. Not that I'm complaining, mind you, I'm simply interested in seeing these characters in mediums that reflect their immortality in the most human light possible, if that makes sense). It was nice to see a story that centered on him entirely (or was supposed to, at least). Scatty and him meeting was thoroughly enjoyable, and I really loved their dynamic they had going. The one complaint I have about this is that it really doesn't center on Billy completely; it sort of shares t... morehe spotlight with Scatty's plot, and to an extent focuses more directly on her, with tidbits of Billy backstory and characterization on the side. Still, this story was very enjoyable, and I'm not at all regretting having bought it.
review 2: I've always enjoyed novellas, especially those that give us more information on the characters we've come to know and love. This story focuses on how the two characters on opposing sides in present day, the immortal Billy the Kid and the incomparable Scathach, originally meet. Sent on an errand by his Elder master Queztalcoatl to deliver something to the Shadow, the Kid's curiosity and good manners gets the better of him as he ends up accompanying Scathach to Vegas after she receives a mysterious phonecall for help. Like the rest of the series, there is a blend of seamless myth weaving and action-adventure that I've come to know and love from Michael Scott. In this short novella, I encountered ancient weaponry, learned the difference between Vampyres and Vampires (only the ones with a 'y' are blood-drinkers), and met a legend thought to be dead. There was also a lot of character development in a short space of time and it made me like both characters a little better. I would recommend the novella to all fans of the series that need a little something to tide them over before the final book comes out later this year! less

My biggest issue with this is that it was too short! I know it was intended as a short story but it was a great little story that could have been an awesome book! We get two of my favorite characters - Scatty and Billy the Kid. We also get to see someone very important to Scatty and her past. We get a little of a few Elders too. To really make sense out of what is going on and the universe it is recommended that you read this after reading at least one of the series The Secret of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel. Otherwise some of the details Willie be lost on the reader.

I don't like the fact that Michael Scott decided to only release this (and the Joan of Ark story) as E-Versions when I prefer to have a hard copy of my books, but the story itself was very good. Unlike the Joan of Ark short story which was just a history of what happened in the past, this book connects to characters who will interact in the upcoming books so it was nice to see the back story of how they met.

Better than the other short story about Joan of Arc. Billy's just a better character.
