Spoilers?
Alright so I went to read book four and it said I had to read the novella so I back tracked and read it. I will be honest and say I am not sure why we had to? maybe the birth scene information where she has the symbols? Because the rest was just a simple flash back of her parents.
It was okay, but I almost wish we had information on when they lost the guys? meeting at school and getting connected is fine, but the information surrounding losing Rue may have been more interesting. but alas forward I go!

Wow
So I marked this for spoilers, although I don’t know if they’ll necessarily be spoilers.
It was great to see how Reveries parents met, especially with the ones we haven’t met or we’ll never meet possibly.
It was also insane seeing how deep the hatred Selene has toward Adelaide even before. And suffice to say that it would’ve been anybody who she would’ve gone after had Sly been a part of their faction as well, not just Adelaide’s.
Selene was and still is to this day completely obsessed with him. Her sociopathic and psychopathic tendencies were even prevalent when they were in college. So to see that she hasn’t changed except for getting worse is insane
Also, I kind of feel like I know where the epilogue was leading us, but I also really wanna know if I’m right. That’s gonna be insane especially with how book 2 ended and that’s how we’re picking up and book 4. Which I know makes no sense to everybody who’s probably reading this book 3 was her parents Novela.
I’m excited to see how this ends

Excellent insight to the beginning
I found this book intriguing because we learn what is truly special about Reverie. We learn more about life before the war, which sounds pretty much the same as life after. Would highly recommend this short origin story.

great interlude
Nice little back story of reverie’s parents … honestly they need an entire series themselves! Great quick read. Funny. The author recommends you read it before the last in the series.

it's a cute little background story from Adelaide and her men. I like that we find out how she found her faction and get a little bit of a story behind the parents of Reverie.
it's great to get to know Rue and Sly because to this point there was not much about him.
