The Darkling is one of my favorite characters from the Shadow and Bone trilogy, so I was excited to read a bit of a backstory on him. This was a cute little insight into what perhaps influenced the Darkling’s reactions in S&B. It was short and sweet with a bit of sinister murder. What more could you want? I finished this in 30 minutes, so I think it’s worth a read.

It was okay, mainly setting the backstory for the character, what formed him and what drives him. Also a little bit of worldbuilding but not enough, if you read it first you'll be a little confused.
