Satisfying and written with great depth

I wasn't completely sure I'd enjoy the novellas anywhere near as much as the original books but the added short stories provided a satisfying depth to some of the most interesting characters. It was nice to get glimpses into what happened next after the ending of War Storm as well as what the far future looked like. I'd have loved a bit more of John and Maven but that's just personal preference. Written beautifully as always. Highly recommend (once you have read the original book series)

*no spoilers but an insight*

This collection of novellas really renewed my love of the series. You hear a range of perspectives from 5 novellas .
The first 2 chapters is basically Julian just rambing about history (this happens between every novella) Then
1)Queen Correanne's story is the first and its receited by perspective and diary entry's. It's a great insight.

2)Then you get CAPTAIN FARLEE, definitely my favourite. You see her relationship with her father and how the scarlet guard really started and her budding relationship with Shade (my poor heart I, this series)

3) Ash- a new character. This one is definitely skipable as his not actually involved. HOWEVER I recommend sticking through it because it's actually a really interesting side story.

4) Evangeline &Elane. Only stick around if you like the characters. It basically wraps up Evangeline's story line in a very wholesome way.

5) Last but not least of course its back to Mare & Kal.

All in all very interesting highly recommend if you like the world surrounding Red queen outside of the main character.

Skip to chapter 20

The first part of the book is quite boring and it leaves you eager to find out all of the loose ends from the last. Not as satisfied as I would like at the ending but a good one nevertheless.

Good but not great

I wasn’t sure how to describe how I feel about this book. I skipped some, it just seemed to drag on and all I really wanted was to see what happened with Mare and cal. I enjoyed the ending I just wish it didn’t drag on so long, a lot seemed unnecessary. Glad they got their HEA.

.. ok got better towards the end

I enjoyed it in parts.. the end was better than the middle for definite.
I'm glad I heard what happened to the characters and finished this series but I did feel like I was just trying to finish this book rather than enjoying it

great story

I really enjoyed all four books however I wished the ending was a bit different. It felt a bit rushed.

Not as great an ending

I was excited to hear this last part of the story as part 4 War Storm ended so abruptly. The first half of this book is really slow moving, telling the story from different character perspectives was not necessary as we had this in the other books, it just seemed a bit like filler, introducing you to characters you didn’t know nor cared about as they did not appear in previous books. The latter half of the book was better, catching up with familiar characters and finishing their various story arks. I have to say, by this book I got really tired of the constant torturous melancholy of Mare and Cal and their inner monologues began to irritate me. I loved this series but this last book was a disappointment. But others my feel differently.
