This was a good short story, I just wish that it was longer, I would love to find out more about Lazarus.

Well, that took me forever to read. 6 pages is way too long.
Okay, so I found out about this novella before I started the first book. Yeah, that was a huge red flag for me. This book did nothing for me! I knew nothing! I was so confused. BUT after I read the first book - it made a lot more sense. I also reread it - I mean, it's 6 pages people.. not a novel.
I highly suggest you read the first book in this series and then the novella - unlike what I did. Seriously, do it. Lazarus will make so much more sense to you then.

It was a nice look into the world, but nothing of substance. If you have the time, and have read at least the first book - then I would definitely recommend this to you. It wont take too long to read, but it will help you understand one of the characters a little more.

gives a short little backstory to Lazarus. not as well written as the trilogy, but still enjoyable.

This was definitely a super quick read of only a few pages. This is a very briefly snippet into the life of Lazarus of Mace.
Lazarus is a complex character from the main series. He was always one of my favourites. This short snippet shows what his life was like down below. It's a very dark and twisted world that he is born into. I would read an entire novel dedicated to each of the characters from this series, but obviously 6-pages is not enough substance.
Do not read this novella before the first novel because it really does not add anything or give any clear indications into this world.

A lovely snippet for the Tearling series that I definitely predicted who the character it was about before the story revealed. I definitely will always want to know more and more about Mace, where he came from and what all made him who he is. I'm deeply looking forward to how he does in book three being regent to the crown and trying to save the queen.

Ok well, as a listed 'short story' I expected this to be a bit longer than six pages. Just sayin it was a great beginning to a short story, but really could have been an (expanded please) prologue to book 2 (considering this is when we learn of The Boy's background). The intro to the very very short story-like collection of paragraphs said 'Guess who the boy is!' Um.... SPOILERS (I guess)............ it's Mace, fucking duh. And then I thought, great we actually get to see a torn-limb-from-limb fight from Mace, and NO. WE DON'T. fuck that. Not being a religious person, I didn't even realize the name Lazarus even meant anything special, let alone rising from the dead (thanks Google). I'm sorry, but NO WHERE in these paragraphs was Mace risen from the dead. He was literally fighting a literal idiot. Jesus.

I really appreciated this glimpse into Lazarus. It really adds depth to his character. This made me sad though. I’m glad I read it.
