I like that even though these short stories are about Simon, we also get to see the other characters develop a little. It was fun to have Tessa as a guest lecturer and to have the flashback to the TID era. I like that Clare's Shadowworld is so on its own with even its own history. For me, that gives this world something extra. It is also nice to have a few fiction worlds where I can return to and not have to go through all the exposition and explanations of how the world works since I am already familiar with it.

I really like Simon's letter to Isabelle. It was very Simon
