Containing a excerpt from the first book and a small story based around Rose, Linden's first wife, this was a quick read. I think it's more designed to draw in new readers to the series because it includes the first six chapters of the book. Then again, maybe that was to add length to justify a higher price? I'm not sure. All I know is the little story at the end was why I wanted this and it was lovely. Nothing earth-shattering, but worth it for me.
