Wow this was good! I’m a sucker for a good short story and these hit all the right spots. I really enjoyed getting the full back story on Celaena’s life before the mines. Personally, I’m happy with where in the series I chose to read these stories. It was a nice break from the main story, but it also added a different, sadder element already knowing the basics of how it ended. This was a good one, and I’m excited to get back into the main series!
