It was alright. Nice story to get Aren and Lara's plot line caught up to Keris and Zarrah. Didn't really feel like it was needed though. Mostly just some forced sex scenes real quick with some minor character developmen  and plot progression.

The Calm Before the Storm is a cute little novella that brings us back to Lara and Aren. While it is mainly fluff, we learn that Lara has been facing assassination attempts. Ahnna has resigned from Southwatch, and Ithicana is facing another potential war.  The novella was okay, just as many are.

I'm not sure this book was necessary! But a good continuation from Book 3 nonetheless.

So this was a very short novella, and I did not want to finish it before I received Book 4 from Lovestruck Books. I just love Aren and Lara.
