Utterly pointless to read.
Obviously just published to make more money - also once again copying what the Twilight saga did (Bree Tanner novella) but it really didn't work.
Firstly, when are you supposed to read this? In the middle of or after Passion? Because I think it would make sense to read this during Passion but then why not just have included it in Passion in the first place. I think reading it afterwards isn't essential - and only if you're a die hard fan (though is anyone really a die hard fan for this series) should you even consider buying this, because it's not worth buying.
There were only a few things that I enjoyed while reading this.
1. Miles and Shelby get together. - It was cute for a valentines theme but was longer than it needed to be.
2. A glimpse into Rolands world. - The rest of this tale was awful ( too long and depressing with no real meaning in the end)
3. Arriane and Tess's relationship. - I liked that the author included a relationship between two girls. It didn't feel forced, like she just put it in to look like she trying to be cool and attract more readers, etc. It actually made sense for the character Arriane. It gave more insight into who she is - which was good because she only pops up a few times in Fallen and Torment.
And that's all I liked.
The Luce and Daniel scene was boring. So overall, I would have been happier to not have read this. I would have preferred to have read about Lucia and Daniel in Italy - that tale sounded far more instructing than most of the other past lives Luce lived.

I loved reading about the other characters. Wish there were more.
Nice addition for big fans of the series to round out a few of the side characters. The background on Roland and Arriane is interesting - particularly in regards to their choices going into the fourth book. Arriane's story was both the best in the collection, in my opinion, as well as being the most useful for adding to the reader's understanding of the Fall. The other stories, one about Shelby and Miles, and the other about Daniel and Luce (of course), were more like little vignettes. They were fine, but not particularly impacting, so the extra star to 3 stars is really for Arriane's story.
Wenn ich ehrlich bin, dann habe ich den Großteil einfach nur überflogen. Die Reihe liegt wohl schon zu lange zurück.
Cute little stories that were fun to read. I liked Arriane's story the most. So sad...
I wish I cared about Luce and Daniel but I didn't haha
Dit boek leest vlot. Het is een novella en heeft een beter kijk in de geschiedenis tussen verschillende personages.
I DON'T WANT MILES AND SHELBY TOGETHER! Miles should be with Luce. Aside from that, this one was pretty good. Kind of sad that I like the side stories better than the main parts.
Very good add on to the series, fortunately 'Rapture' had not come been published when I received this book, so luckily I read it as 3.5 in the series. It was nice to see the love perspectives of other characters, not just Luce and Daniel
