A VERY short and mostly pointless bridge story between books 2 and 3. I believe it was solely an attempt to make more cash since you have to pay for it on the Kindle. Don't bother!

I loved this little story between the books. It gave a little more depth to Gaia and Leon’s relationship, and kind of let us know how things were between them during the years before their journey to New Sylum. I also enjoy a good birth story, so loved that it took place at a birth.

So Ruled is the short story that takes place between the second and third book of Birthmarked. It is told in Leon's perspective and gives you an inside look on his head as he is conflicted about Gaia. He is feeling uncertain and unsure of her feelings for him. He does not need to be afraid, I suppose it's impossible to stop; when you love someone you can't help it at all really.

It is very sweet. I have issues with the shortness of it. I mean if you're going to make a book from the love interest of the protagonist couldn't she at least make a little more of a story so we can bask in more .... But oh well. I'll just have to be patient. It is good, 3 out of 5 stars.

I think it's just that I've grown out of this series. :( When I read the first one back in November of '11 I absolutely loved it, but back in May when I read the second I just . . . well, I couldn't stand it really. I didn't like novella #1.5 either, and this one did nothing for me either.

I have the third one checked out from the library (I put it on hold immediately when I saw they had ordered it, since I still want to know how O'Brien ends it all, even if I don't think I'll like it), so I sort of felt obliged to read this.

For those of you who are interested in reading this, you can use the link on the GoodReads page, or just click here.
