'I kinda wished the author just commit and structured this novella entirely on Nikolai’s POV. Majority of the story has been leaning towards Nikolai’s POV anyway and, as a reader, I barely knew Myst as a character. Even though we got see some of her POVs, it felt like contained and the only thing that was revealed were the superficial things about her. The whole misunderstanding kinda feel off for me, just for the sake of them having this major conflict. It could’ve been handled better if they just freakin talk to each other. But to be fair, I very much prefer Myst and Nikolai’s dynamic than the previous couple, which is Emma and Lachlain. But despite this being like a prologue for the very first book of this series, I don’t actually recommend reading this novella as a start off point for this series. Better read “Hunger Like no Other” first then comeback to this book, so that you’ll get to understand the lore of this series more. Just saying.
