I thought that this story was really good. Very interesting. I was not a fan of Daphne in Starcrossed, but I read this anyway and I liked to get to know her more. Must say that it was a different and funny way Daphne & Ajax first met.

This felt like an uninspiring bundle of clichès.

I've enjoyed the series so far (I'm 2/3 into Dreamless currently) but even just from this short story I prefer Daphne's point of view by far and hope she continues to write from it in the future. Perhaps even a series for Daphne/Ajax??

Not a fan of girl hate (so last century) and the (very stereotypical) awful step mother. Also, I expected this to be about Ajax and Daphne but there was only one sad paragraph involving them

Daphne, if you've read the Starcrossed books you probably think she is a total b**** and really dislike her. Correct?
Well, in this snippet into Daphne's mind you start to understand her, not dislike her so much. A brilliant piece that makes you reconsider your opinion of Daphne.

I literally did not realize this existed until something like two minutes ago!

It was really interesting reading from Daphne's perspective, especially from when she was young and only just met Ajax. I would definitely love to read more -- it would be so interesting to see how Daphne went from the teenager she is in this short story to the person she is in the Starcrossed series. Maybe another trilogy -- the whole foregone conclusion ending would be interesting and very sad to see play out.

I loved how her experiences seemed to match up with Helen's in some ways, since they both have The Face, but also clearly played out differently partly because she and Helen are such different people and partly because Daphne knew about the scion stuff while Helen spent most of her life in the dark about that. There were also some similarities to Andy's backstory and struggles, which I found really interesting, especially considering how Andy ends up with Hector, who looks a lot like Ajax.

Not gonna lie, a part of me wants more because then there'd be more of Pandora. I loved her so much, and was so sad when she was killed in the first book of the Starcrossed series. She was such an interesting character, and I really would love to know more about her and her bond with her brother Ajax -- from the little she talked about, you could tell the two were really close.
