I'm rating it three stars not because it was a mediocre story, but because it was kind of pointless.
It was more short lore behind the four fallen than anything. It was interesting, but not needed to understand what happened in the main series, nor did it add anything to it. I wouldn't go as far to say it was a waste of time or anything like that but I could have not read it and not missed or been confused about any part of the main books.
I'm disappointed we got to see all their reasons for joining the war except Essix. We get scenes of the first greencloaks convincing Uraza, Briggan, and Jhi to join the war, but with her the opening is just her being in the fight. Who talked her in to it? Guess we'll never know.

I was thinking of foing a review with a lots of jokes with Not-Europe and Drakengard, but this great ode to the "because I say so" don't deserve it.
Not today at least, maybe another day.

this book does a good job at giving the back story hinted at thorough the main series but as it was a collection of short stories the Pacing was a little slow in parts and rushed in others but still a valid entry into expanding the world the stories take place in
one thing that I didn't like is there were no chapters only marks that indicate the plot going a different way which is sometimes a good place to stop but not always

This book has 5 chapters, one chapter for each of the 4 Fallen and one chapter for the original Devourer. Good reading for someone who wants some background on the Spirit Animals series without spoiling anything.
