Listen... there was no better author to write this than Allison Saft. I've been in love with her work since I read A Fragile Enchantment, and when she announced this, I was unimaginably happy. I've wanted a backstory to Milori and Clarion for years, and even though I know their story ends well, years into the fairyverse future, I still couldn't help but cry at the ending. This was so sweet and tender and filled with longing, it broke my heart as much as it broke theirs to be apart. Saft did an amazing job with the feel of the book, the language and prose, the character design, everything. She embodied both Milori and Clarion so well, it almost felt like a design of Disney themselves. My childhood heart is as happy as it is sad, both for the inclusion of their story, and for the way it tugged at my heartstrings until they broke. I've been trying to refrain from adding books to my already packed tight shelves, but I don't think I'll be able to keep myself from adding this one to my collection.
