One of her reasons was the basis of this story. In the third book, Cress cites a myriad of reasons why she loves Thorne. Until this story, I almost forgot Wolf even had a brother - though now I do understand why they had such animosity in the second novel.Ĭarswell's guide to being lucky - A cute story about a devious and scheming Thorne. The Queen's Army - We finally get a story from Wolf's perspective! We learn about how he 'joined' the army and a bit of the background of the mental manipulating and emotional struggles he went through. Plus, Iko makes an appearance - I adore her! While I still think her stepmother and Pearl are ridiculously over-the-top with their cyborg hatred, I have a better understanding of where they're coming from. Glitches - Continuing from the last prequel, we get to see Cinder's story from the moment her hardware is installed to her adopted father contracts the plague.

Years later, the same doctor comes to earth, carrying the broken body of toddler-Cinder - begging for her to hide the little girl.

This doctor avoids using glamours and quickly charms Scarlet's grandmother - nine months later, Scarlet's father was born. The keeper - This is the earliest prequel of the series - we follow Scarlet's Grandmother as she travels to Lunar as a young army piolet and meets a strange doctor. Nearly every story is based on a key event mentioned in one of our 8 main character's backgrounds. While there aren't any major spoilers, you won't appreciate these short stories without finishing the series.

I desperately need a sequel to this prequelĮvery one of them was just fabulous - seriously!
