Well this was a shocking delight for me! Usually I don't go for short story anthologies but this one worked very well for me. Three distinct plots, all relevant to the overall story of The Lost FireBreather, told in a way that makes all three of them come around to the same place in the end. Beautiful, tragic, just a wee bit horny (Well, the first two were), and engaging from start to finish.
First story was about Ash's mother leading up to the tragic loss of his egg. Second was about Hammerclaw's backstory and why he ended up where he is, and the third was about Albuca as he discovers Ash's egg. All three of them were disparate in terms of tone, setting, and narrator, but they all relate to the same plot, seeing it from different angles in ways that I genuinely think did a better job elaborating on the world building of Drakona than the three main novels did. I don't know why but while I enjoyed the series up to this point, this novella compiling a handful of short stories is what got me hooked. Can't wait to see what comes of this in time because I'm on board!
