![]() ![]() This is a very short story which is set before the beginning of Stormdancer and I have to say it's actually a great little read. I am intrigued and will begin the actual trilogy now. I may or may not have skimmed over the battles between the two brothers.because who's who and why are they fighting and who sided with which Lotus Guild? Maybe this was meant to be written after book one instead of as an introduction to the trilogy. "Sure, things are a bit bleak but behold.a new hope." ![]() I'm getting a Star Wars vibe with this one. If this is what the novella is like and it's better and more engaging than many full-length novels out there, I'm looking forward to the actual trilogies.Ģ) There's a beauty/lyricism to the writing cadence and I'd say it works particularly well with high fantasy stories.ģ) This did perfectly what a good prequel does: provide backstory and emotional context for what's to come. ![]() I didn't know anything about this book or even this series before beginning, so I was pleasantly surprised by the unique world building that Jay Kristoff established through the second person perspective of Koh, the cursory span of the war, the characters, and the overall tone.ġ) This didn't read like a 125-page novella to me. Well, that was a bit sad and hopeful and Star Wars-ey. ![]()
