Short glimpse into Genya's life at court and her work in supporting the Darkling. The horrible things hinted at in Shadow & Bone are only vaguely extended on, so even though nothing is explicitly mentioned, you get an even better idea of what terrible position Genya was in at the palace.

It was too short to form much of an opinion on but it did provide context for Genya's actions in the main series.
