abrado's review against another edition
4.0
Piper’s novellas are a must read. She deepens the relationship between a character and the reader by providing context and often hidden layers that reflect in the main series. Understanding these characters to such a depth helped me appreciate their thoughts and actions in the main series.
My heart aches. Empathizing that feeing of a break up with someone you will always love. How all the pain in that moment wouldn’t make you regret the memories together. How you would go through feeling like you’re dieing just to do it again.
Yaz has many faults and many lovable things about her. The length to which she falls in love is both.
This novella gives context to the friendship between Gad and Yaz. It provide insight into how difficult her fling with Nox would have been and how deeply she would have felt it. I feel her desperation. Her abandonment. Her inadequacy that something will always be more important than her. I mourn the life she wanted and lost by someone else’s choice.
This novella is not as layered as previous ones. I expect we will get another layer when book four is released or perhaps this story was one that just needed to be told.

“The worst days of her life were when Isra and Gadriel were gone at the same time.” - pg. 536

Yazlyn is my favorite character in the TNAIM series. I loved this novella deep dive into her past. This book really helped me when I was grieving. This love story is so heart-breakingly beautiful

I always look forward to these novellas. They are delightful. They are soul crushing. They are emotionally delicious.
