I was not a fan of Seiya before this book. While I do not like her still, after reading this novella I understand her actions better.
If you are reading the series, my recommendation is to not skip this story, because it gives us good insight and backstory for Seiya and Lyre.

It's nice to get a glimpse of Seiya and the reason behind her hatred towards Piper. I also like the additional information that we get on Lyre, too. He's such an adorable, likeable character, just a bit eclipsed by Ash and his broody-but-sexy self.

Huh, didn't think I would ever warm up to Seiya but here we are. The teases about Lyre's past are so clever as well, can't wait to discover more.

“You're right, because if not for her, Ash would be dead and you'd still be in Asphodel, pregnant with the next generation of Samael's slaves.”That's right Seiya! Ugh! You tell her Lyre.
Honestly I did not want to read from Seiya's point of view. By the end of Yield the Night all I wanted was to strangle her and weigh her body down somewhere so she wouldn't sully any more page time. Sleep with the fishes you annoying SOB. It also ticked me off to see the whole hate was part jealousy despite what Lyre told Piper. Lyre new it too, and I enjoyed that he confronted Seiya about it.
It was really cool seeing what happened to Lyre and Seiya after they returned through the portal. I think there's some discord in the Raas' clan. I think this will signal the turning point for Seiya's characters, and I actually would suggest reading it for the series. Especially since despite this being told from Seiya's POV it is very much a Lyre book. As he finally divulges some information about himself. OMG!!!
Sexual Content: Actually, I don't think Lyre worked any of his flitateous magics. (Much to Seiya's annoyance.) A mild dark theme is referenced (see quote above), but honestly this book is clean.
4/5- Great! Really enjoyed it.
