This installment in the Raksura series includes four stories: two novellas and two short stories.  I read this after having finished the third novel, The Siren Depths; the first novella takes place just after this novel, while the other stories take place significantly earlier.  For me, the highlight was The Tale of Indigo and Cloud, which tells the story of these two ancestors, the namesakes of the Indigo Cloud colony - having Stone appear as a fledgling in this novella was wonderful.  It was a bit strange to read a Raksura colony with otherwise entirely new characters, but I really enjoyed it.  The Falling World is a quick adventure featuring the characters known and loved from the novels and so of course it was great fun.  The short stories felt a little too short for me - almost like flashback scenes that could've been inserted into a novel somewhere - but I appreciated them nonetheless, and look forward to continuing this wonderful series.
