“I imagine this is how a star feels as it dies, like everything it loves and everything it is, is pressing inwards and crushing the life out of it.”

I really enjoyed this novella. I loved getting so much more of Des’s backstory. I feel like I understand him and his decisions 100 percent better. Getting to know his mom better was a treat because she was amazing. I completely agree that she would have loved Callie. We also get more of Malaki and how he meets him. I was already a big fan of him but I’m an even bigger fan now.

The reason I knocked it down a star is because I didn’t really enjoy re-reading a lot of the later seasons when we get to Callie. It felt a bit redundant and I kind of skimmed a bit there. I do appreciate all the backstory and getting to know Des and Malaki a bit better. I cannot wait to jump into the conclusion!
