Review:
Disclaimer - I received the first book in this series from the publisher to read and review. I found this short after I'd already started the first book. I have a thing about prequels and always feel they should be read prior. But that is not always how the author intended it. While this short does give some background, I think it's best read after book 1 or at least after reading the first part of book 1.
This story was interesting. A little insight into Romie, which I kind of needed since I only have what Baz and Emory are telling us in book 1. I enjoyed the flashes of what I've seen so far in the book. And the back story of what lead Romie to the cave. I also see the future foretold in this story, which was interesting, as well, and leads me to believe there is more to the drownings, given the reappearance of Travers in book #1 and his state when he did wash up on shore. I'm very interested to see where it all goes!
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
Pascale Lacelle is a French-Canadian writer from Ottawa, Ontario. A longtime devourer of books, she started writing her own at the age of 13 and quickly became enthralled by the magic of words. After earning her bachelor’s degree in French Literature, she realized the English language is where her literary heart lies (but please don’t tell any of her French professors that). When not lost in stories, she’s most likely daydreaming about food and travel, playing with her dog Roscoe, or trying to curate the perfect playlist for every mood.
