This book basically tells origins and backgrounds of certain characters like Bleez, Saint Walker, Arisia, and Kilowog. Elements from these stories are brought up throughout the other BN books, so reading this, while not necessary, is recommended.

Each story is a nice little stand-alone that's easy to read and entertaining. Personally, my favorite was the Saint Walker origin. I love me some Saint Walker. But they were all good in their own right.

If you want to read Blackest Night, I would suggest reading this first. But not the last two issues (Adventure Comics #4-5). Those are meant to be read later on. Here's a link to a list of the correct reading order of all the Blackest Night material. It should be noted that not all of those issues listed are collected in the BN books. Most are, but the Booster Gold, R.E.B.E.L.S., Solomon Grundy, Outsiders, Doom Patrol, Teen Titans, Suicide Squad, Superman/Batman, and Secret Six comics are not. Also, the prelude stuff isn't necessary, but it's some good stuff.
