An incredibly amazing insight into Betrice's character and story, I loved this novel more than I did Dividing Eden itself to be honest. It was short, and very well done.

I was not expecting that. All the information revealed in this novella just makes my head spin. I can’t help but replay Dividing Eden in a different light. It’s like all the pieces have fallen into place, and yet, I know there’s going to be more. More information in the next books that will shed an even brighter, newer light on the plots.

So, I think that perhaps I should not have read this book before DIVIDING EDEN. Chronologically it appears to take place before the first book, so I figured that it would be a good start to the series. I went into this book blind, and I also think that was a mistake.
Since this book is a prequel, I think it assumes more prior knowledge of the world than I have. I had a lot of trouble connecting to the characters, partially since I think that a lot of set-up probably happens in the first book, and partially since the book is so short. To be honestly I was lot more invested in the love interest than in the main character herself.
Betrice and Oben seemed interesting, but I felt that there was not enough time for character development. I could see that they were being set up for bigger things in future books, but it just seemed like not a ton happened in this novella. Personally, I'm hoping that things will make a bit more sense after reading DIVIDING EDEN.
Personally, I would suggest reading this between book 1 and 2 for backstory and not before book 1 like I did.

This provided so much insight to Betrice's character. Glad I read it after reading Dividing Eden since it made me reflect on the novel and realize how intricate the storyline was.

This story was so great, can't wait to see how it's going to fit in with the two main books in the series!

Into the Garden Review on K-Books
Into the Garden is a prequel novella to Dividing Eden. I have had Dividing Eden on my kindle for what feels like forever and I've just never got around to reading it. Before diving into it I decided to read the prequel novella first and honestly I had no idea what it was about or what I was going into. The only thing I knew was that it was YA and fantasy. I really enjoyed this short novella and it's really set up the scene for Dividing Eden.
Lady Betrice has only ever wanted to be a Seer. Away from her family and living at the Village of Night, Betrice just wants to stay there but after being forced to leave and journeying home she has to come up with a plan. Go back to her awful family or escape... or is there a third option?
Having come into this book completely blind not having read Dividing Eden yet I absolutely loved it. I really loved the character of Betrice and I really enjoyed reading about her journey. I couldn't put the book down and I just couldn't stop reading. I read it in one sitting and it had me begging for more. I can't wait to read Dividing Eden and see how she fits with this story.
Into the Garden is a fantastic storyline and I would highly recommend reading it, regardless of whether you've read Dividing Eden or not. For me, it was an amazing introduction into the series.
