This short story was an insight into Ronan and Adam small life after the events of The Raven King, but from the perspective of Opal, previously known as Orphan Girl. 

I immediately read it after finishing The Raven King (it being included in my copy was not the only reason). I just wanted to live in that world for a little bit longer.

We can see through Opal's eyes how our world is, and how it can be a bit unfair with all the change it goes through. But we also see acceptance of that change and the moving forward.

I will simply say: I love it.

Enjoyable, but a little unnecessary. I'm always a little wary when authors I love offer "bonus content" bc it's such a shameless grab for money. On the other hand, I love Maggie, and she can take all the money she wants. And I guess this story could also be a nice bridge to the Dreamer series.

Opal's POV was confusing. And it wasn't much of a set up for the dreamer trilogy, nothing that couldn't have been said in the first chapter of CDTH.

I listened to the audiobook on my drive back to college and it was a lovely experience.

Necesito más, para variar.
Me encanta este mundo que se ha creado en Henrietta y necesito saber más de Ronan y de todo lo que puede salir de su cabeza.
Osea que por favor, señora Stiefvater, no deje de escribir sobre ello.
