I came back to the prequel after finishing the series two years ago. This book made me cry! The fact I can return to the series and finish it off properly and still feel a full wave of emotions and to get to know characters I’d already met in the series in a different light. Just loved it. For what it is - a prequel of short stories, SJM smashed it out of the park.
