This was a nice short novella as a prequel to the Ember in the Ashes series. It left me wanting more stories about Helene and Elias growing up and how Elias ended up with the notions he did as an adult. If I had not read An Ember in the Ashes before, I might not like this graphic novel. I think the authors rely on the reader knowing the basic dynamics of the group and this world. There is almost no world building and it mostly focuses on relationships and ethical decisions the trio make.
