My Rating: 4.75/5

I feel like this book really brought me back to what I love about the series. While it took me a long time to read through the separate novellas and bonus scenes it was exactly what I wanted from it. 

I had already read Steel Scars and Queen song as they were in a separate wrap up Cruel Crown. These two stories give great context to the world and characters we see/hear about in passing during through the first two books in the series. 

I thought that the novella World Behind didn't do anything for me other than mention sepearte characters that I wanted to hear more about in the future. I just wish that we had gotten Jon's backstory rather than this one. 

Iron Heart was a great novella and gave the insight that I wanted into Evangaline's mind and helped me understand the relationship she has with Elane. 

Fire Light is what I freaking needed at the end of the series.It brought back so many great memories of reading the series for the first time. The relationships between characters is just so fantastic to read. I loved the swoon worthy moments and the humour that was brought in by familiar characters.

The last section had me crying. I can't wait to read more from this author, even in a separate world than this one. 

Would recommend for fans of Red Queen Series.

Thanks for reading,
