As a “prequel” A Shadow in the Ember is great for people who want to know more about the lore of the From Blood and Ash series. I read it after reading TWOTQs and I don’t know that there is much difference compared to if i had read it before TWOTQs. I found that Sera’s character was thoroughly more enjoyable than Poppy but I also understand why Poppy is the way she is in From Blood and Ash.
