~I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review~

I definitely remember this scene from Sacrificed. Love that Emily Wibberley has rewrote it from Riece's POV! Short but infinitely sweet.

So this is a short story, a really short story. When I say short here, I mean as in only one scene. This scene was actually in Sacrificed but now it is retold from Riece’s point of view.

If you have read my reviews of Sacrificed and Forsworn, it is no surprise that I love Riece. Therefore, I was going to have to love The Commander.

The scene this short story retells is the first time that Riece meets Clio. I loved seeing his thoughts of that moment and how he already cared for her even knowing nothing about her save that she was a slave soon to be sacrificed atop Morek’s pyramid.

In all, this was a quick read of a wonderfully written scene told by Riece. If you read Sacrificed and loved Riece, you’ll love this story.

I received this book for free from the author for review consideration. This in no way affects my opinion of the title nor the content of this review.

This review first appeared at Orandi et Legendi.

Even though I knew this would be a super quick read, I was kind of hoping for more with it. I didn't really get the insight into Riece that I thought I would. Still...it wasn't bad.

Pretty good, quick read from Riece's point-of-view. It's set back to the first book, Sacrificed. It picks up when Riece and Clio first meet and ends when Riece tells her his name.

Read this book in literally 5 minutes. Super quick read that was enjoyable but now I want to read more from Riece's point-of-view

The Commander!!! This is sitting here for a while now and I finally read it, cause even though it hasn't been THAT long since I read Forsworn, I just really miss the characters, the story and the world. So this was just a little something to ease that.
 
I love having the moment after they first met, their first conversation, from Riece's point of view. I just remember hating him back then with such a burning passion, cause he was everything that was wrong about this world that we have in the books. But man, how things turned around and now I love him to pieces.
 
It's amazing how in that little moment that he had with her, tending to her wounds and everything, how he had so much respect for her, even though she was just one of many slaves. But she's such a strong person and such a fighter.
