This two short stories are an interesting read for anyone who is a fan of Aveyard's Red Queen and upcoming Glass Sword. The world of the Red's and Silver's is presented to us from both sides of the world in contrasting ways. We learn all about life as a Silver and the fight against them with the Scarlet Guard.

Queen Song - 3.5 stars
In the first novella, we follow a young Coriane, before she became Queen. We learn of her family history and teenage friendship with Tiberias before their romance blossomed. We learn of her struggles to have their first child and see the birth of Cal. We also see her struggle against Elara and the deadly consequences of her royal life.

Small Scars - 4 stars
In the second novella, we follow the story of Farley as we watch her go against Command with her role as Captain in the Scarlet Guard. We see Farley recruiting to the rebellious Scarlet Guard and her developing relationship with Shade Barrow, who is more like Mare than we knew.

My favourite was 'Small Scars' as I really liked Farley as a character in Red Queen and was keen to find out more about her, although both stories were great, quick reads.
