They both needed time to heal from everything that has happened and accessed who they are now and not who they were before they meant. They have both done things to others and to each other that they can’t take back. Fans who were left a little disappointed on how Mare left thing with Cal at the end of War Storm will get some closure in this story. The story that fans will probably be the most interested in reading is Fire Light. In between the history lessons are short stories, new and old, set in this world that focuses on supporting characters or backstory. Historical notes by Julian is the perfect way to go deep into how Norta, Montefort, Lakelands, Piedmont and neighboring countries came to be and gives perspective on where they are now. Broken Throne is gives more insight into the world building that author Victoria Aveyard did to create her series.
Even if they have already read the two previously released short stories, it is still worth the read. Fans of the Red Queen series should devour this short story collection.
