↠ Prequel, yay!! This added so much depth to the MC and gave the reader a glimpse of what’s to come for side characters and villains

↠ I read this after Book 3 (Heir of Fire) and I wish I read it after Book 1 (Throne of Glass) or Book 2 (Crown of Midnight)

↠ If you’re reading this knowing how the prequel ends, your heart will hurt the whole time 

↠ By the last two novellas I was in tears
