The Turks and Rufus are my favourite side characters from the FF7 franchise so naturally, this was going to be an eventual must-read. I enjoyed Evan and Kyrie as characters, and I particularly enjoyed seeing Rufus and the Turks from Evan's perspective, including the softer, more emotionally withdrawn side of Rufus after his geostigma, and the odd protectiveness the Turks - particularly Reno - show towards Evan and Kyrie. It is overall, a great read and a nice interlude into the lives of characters we meet in Remake (and later Rebirth), and I do sincerely hope we get to see Evan somewhere later on in the third game. A must read for any FF7 fan!
