That was a beautifully written story.
But it was too short... I want to know more about Khalid ! :D

It was interesting to see this scene from Khalid's perspective. I don't really have much else to say about it because it was so short...

3/5
This is the short story of Khalid and Shazi's first meeting. It doesn't add anything substantial to the story (considering it is a preface I wouldn't really expect it to) but it does add a level of interaction between the two that was nice to see.
Is it essential to read? No. But if you have access to it, it's really short and doesn't take long to get through.

This was super short and I want to be in Khalid's head even more. This was so good.

Way too short to even be considered a short story. A little bit on get would have been nice.

This REALLY short story was in the end of my copy of the Wrath and the Dawn so I went ahead and read it. It was literally like 1 page lol it was fine but idk it should have just been in the book itself haha. I probably shouldn’t even count it to my Goodreads challenge but screw it I want to
