I appreciate that Marie made this companion book, it's a wonderful bit of fan service. The writing is of the standard readers will expect and it's always interesting to get another vantage point on a scene.
The rating is middling because a lot of the scenes Marie chose to revisit weren't ones I was curious about. Still worth a read, but my perspective is that this a missed opportunity to shed insight on different scenes than those chosen.

This collection of short stories was everything I didn't know I needed đź’•
❤️Ash and Lyre
❤️Ash's initial reaction to Piper
❤️Lyre's behind the scenes weaving
❤️Lyre's past and who is this mysterious woman??
❤️An unfiltered glimpse into Ash's mind during....scenes
❤️SO MUCH ZWI YES❤️
So now as I fall into the depths of a book hangover, I will cling to the hope that the prequel and sequel series are actually happening because this world and these characters have become very near and dear to me, and I never want to leave đź’•

I know my rating is weird with the fact that I did not finish reading the book but I absolutely loved this series and really liked the idea of seeing it through Ash and Lyre side but I don’t usually find these as entertaining as the actual books so I decided to not finish

This was a fantastic edition to the Steel & Stone series. It was so fun to get inside of Lyre’s and Ash’s heads during pivotal scenes throughout the series.
If you haven’t read The Spell Weaver trilogy, which explores Lyre’s past, I recommend doing so before reading this. You will get a lot more out of it!

Some stories were stronger and added more new background information than others, which were more like alternative-point-of-view of a scene we'd already seen. I think I was hoping for more creative perspectives than what the author provided.

I am an idiot for finishing this book in mere hours.
Loved to get a glimpse of Lyre's past!! He is such an intriguing a flirty daemon, I cannot wait read the Spell Weaver trilogy and to learn more about his past. Anf Clio.
Furthermore, I couldn't stop grinning whenever I read Ash' thoughts about Piper and how his feelings grew more and more.
Sigh. I love these books.

I'm just addicted to this series and will always want more from Piper, Ash, and Lyre. I liked the insight we get into Ash and Lyre's history - their friendship, their families, their pasts in Asphodel. I alwasys love seeing Zwi, and I thought it was cool to see how her bond with Ash works. Seeing Lyre's spell weaving being showcased was a nice nod to what I know will be highlighted futher in the Spell Weaver series. I'm even more excited to read the sequel series when it gets here!
