They weren’t kidding when they said reading this first was the emotional damage order. I’m feeling very damaged emotionally right now.

I wish I could give this 4.5 stars because WOW. The end of this book has me SHOOK. The majority of the book was the same pace as the first two that I read but the end literally has me feeling so many ways.

So glad I read this as the 3rd book! It really helped give the background stories after I was already invested in the main characters.

For a collection of short stories specific to the series universe, it was pretty good! Seems like the short stories flowed one into the next, and I liked following the adventures setting up why the characters are the way they are.
