But I did think it's a good bridge between Cress and Winter. I liked that we got to see a side to the villain as most the times we don't really get to see their background or their thought process, we just see that they're 'bad' and sometimes hear why but of course it's not from their own point of view. It's not essential but it's definitely the better of all these type of short stories coming out from series!<br /><br />www.rare-opal.blogspot.comBreigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15273124468088477481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639675212408846217.post-74045831445082264242016-04-16T23:24:00.930-04:002016-04-16T23:24:00.930-04:00I haven't read Fairest or Winter yet, but I de...I haven't read Fairest or Winter yet, but I definitely plan to catch up on this series soon!

I loved the backstory and the history of Luna. I could have read a few hundred more pages on it actually.
