Rating : 4.5/5
I like this book. It showcases the lives and thoughts of several other characters that were somehow neglected in the other novels of this series. It basically is a collection of some history, future events and some novellas.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the earlier part of the book several events are showcased that took place alot years after the war storm. Which is interesting to read but I find it boring at times.
A lot about calore family history is told which I found interestesing to read
~~~~~~~~~~~
Queen song is a novella that I've already read and I loved that novel it showcases a different side of Norta and Cal's parents.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Steel scars showcase the life of Diana Farley, although I haven't read its novella but standalone but the chapters showcasing her earlier life is somewhat interesting to read.
~~~~~~~~~~~
World behind showcases a very beautiful love story between Ashe and Lyrisa. It's like the last novel of this series gave us another beautiful love story with not an ending.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Iron heart is another favorite of mine as it shows the lives of Evangeline and Elane after the war.
Fire light as the name says Cal is the fire and Mare is the light. It reunites cal and Mare once again leaving both to decide their destiny from now on.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Farewell gives a last goodbye to the not so bad villain of the story Maven a bittersweet farewell Maven gave to Cal and at the end it winds up the story with after events in words of one of the most mysteries characters of the book
~~~~~~~~~~~

Wow. I was not expecting this book to be such an emotional ride. Not only do I desperately miss these characters, but the raw emotion and feelings and hurt and healing that happen in this book is amazing. I love that we get into the heads of so many favorite characters and that nothing is easy-peasy since the end of War Storm.
This book also features some other cool things. There is a brief history of this world, and how it became to be the kingdom that we knew at the start of the series. There are family trees and histories of all the Calore ancestors (which help give a little insight to both Cal and the ruling family of this kingdom).
I won't break down every novella (there are other reviews that will do so). But I will say that I loved every one. Learning about Coriane's life (Cal's mother) and how her life took a drastic turn had me shocked and intrigued. The ending left me reeling. Then we get a story about how Farley and Shade met and fell in love - swoon! The next story about the Red river captain and Silver escaping princess I really enjoyed because it showed a different perspective during the war. Of course I was thrilled to see a story from Evangeline's perspective. She is such an interesting character and I love that she keeps her sass and strength even after all she's been though. Then it's Mare and Cal and no spoilers, but this novella was tough and wonderful.
Get ready for a chilling Maven chapter - I think it gave me goosebumps. And the ending of this story had me close to tears - oh the emotion this author can inspire in me!

A great collection of short stories and informative articles that adds context and ties up any loose ends of the Red Queen series.
