Guess who a) just found out this existed and b) will take any excuse to procrastinate?

I liked this one better than the other short story bc it showed Jamie and Grace together and how much Jamie cares about her. It also had Grace's feelings about Adria that she hides in the first book - shows how she viewed it coming in, which we don't get immediately in All Fall Down.

I can see why this wasn't included in the original story. It was more information, I guess, but not necessary.

I wasn't a huge fan of the Embassy Row trilogy but have a compulsive need to finish things. The good news is that this is free. The bad news is that, as a prequel, it's kind of boring. The somewhat okay news is that it features big brother Jamie looking out for his sister. (I’m kind of a sucker for protective older brother moments).
