SOME MONSTERS ARE BORN.

I WAS MADE.

Yowza. Reading Memento right after finishing Obsidio, it's a bit of a shock to see how far AIDAN has come. These mere 82 pages really demonstrate how AIDAN got to where he was at the beginning of Illuminae, and even through the end of Obsidio. Amazing.

4.5

Wow, I really liked this short novella even though it was sad and a bit predictable. I never trusted or even liked Aidan so this gives me further reason to hold a grudge against him. This was short, only about 80 pages or so. I recommend this be read after you've read The Illuminae Files.

I enjoyed this so I'm giving it 4.5 stars out of 5. 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

On sale on Kindle, forgot about this little novella. Makes me want to reread the whole series again. Mention of past characters got me all in my feels.
