This short story is essentially a Jack flashback. It's a little montage of her becoming Dr. Bleak's apprentice and of how she meets Alexis. While I've loved the Moors, this one didn't offer anything new to the whole continuity. It rehashes details we already now (having read the books up until this one) and depicts the Moors' version of a meet cute. Overall, I just found it OK.
