An amazing set of novellas. Each stood well on their own as well as building on top of each other for a crescendo of emotions. I loved this book. I read it before Throne of Glass.

I absolutely love this book I had personally just finished the other books and reading this made me cry so much. This series broke me and put me back together multiple time and I think this book made so many things I had been missing from the other books. 100% would recommend!!!
