This is exactly how a novella for a main series should be written! Noy only do we get an in-depth look into a character that plays a major role in the story, but also get more details into what the empire is doing, and its role in the events of the previous 2 books. The storyline of this novella will clearly have a big impact into the future events of the main plot, which makes it even better!

Moreover, this novella is fantastically written, with amazing action sequences and incredibly impactiful emotional scenes, especially considering we only get 150 pages to create emotional attachment to the characters.

The Bound and The Broken is slowly creeping into my all time favorite series of all time, and I can't wait to keep reading!!

I was hoping to read more about these characters and know their back story. I was also hoping to find out how one of my favorite side characters knew Dayne! I wasn't disappointed and very satisfied. ... well, not completely because I really want book 4 as I am not ready to let this story go just yet.

This novella manages to be both character-focused as well as have a lot of well-done action in it. It is so emotional and is making me look forward to a reread of the entire series soon.
