I went back and read this after starting the Bone Season, and I'm glad I did. It gives some needed (IMO) backstory for Paige and is a fun accounting of her first mission for the Seven Seals.

THE PALE DREAMER is a nice prequel to THE BONE SEASON, showing Paige's early days with The Seven Seals. I recommend reading this after THE BONE SEASON, it's not the kind of prequel that stands on its own well, but I enjoyed reading immediately afterwards as a way to see Paige as she was before the events of the main story.

Reading this novella has got me really hyped for starting The Bone Season next week. This story, short, entertaining, and self-contained, promises so much scope for the world that this series is set in.
I'm already drawn to what I assume are our 4 main characters, and can't wait to read more about them!
