I wasn't planning on reading this novella, but it came with The Kill Society, so I decided to give it a shot. Plus, it's super short, so why not?

Unfortunately, this novella doesn't really do much. It takes place during the time Stark was still Lucifer and fills in a blank spot that was mentioned in The Kill Society. While I appreciate knowing what happened during that time, it could have easily just been a short 4-5 page flashback in The Kill Society instead of a 50-page novella.

I know this came out years before book 9, and maybe I wouldn't be so hard on it if I read it right after reading book 3. But at this stage of the series, it just feels like a story that was interesting wrapped inside a book we didn't necessarily need.
