The Ash-Born Boy is a short prequel of the backstory of a character you meet in The Near Witch, and it was just the right amount of further explanation I needed.

After finishing The Near Witch, this was a lovely little window into the character of Cole and what bought him to the outskirts of the village of Near. I would highly recommend reading The Near Witch first for full context (and also to avoid some minor-ish spoilers) but as a stand alone short, The Ash-Born Boy was highly enjoyable.
