A great short story about Persis as the revolution begins and she starts her adventures. It's just a little snippet showing the political unrest and how Persis and her friends react to the events that began the revolution, and how they determine to help everyone they can.

I love the dynamic between Persis and Princess Isla! Those two friends are such a great addition to the story. Persis is such an intelligent and caring person, and with her bravery and resourcefulness, she makes an exciting main character.

The pacing in the book is a little different than in the first two, but it doesn't feel slow at all. Just different.
I loved the reunion of the A-through-L, September, and Saturday. It was fascinating seeing those three cement their friendship and learn to deal with their feelings about September's absences and their own roles within the friendship.

The new setting on the moon was just enchanting! So original and unlike anything I've ever heard of, but so well-described in a few choice words that I could really imagine the whole scene.

The theme in this one is much deeper than the previous two books. September is dealing with a bigger and more complex heart which she feels she has to restrict to some imagined social standards of grown-up-ness and keep her true heart hidden away.

She says that "if you wear your insides on the outside, people look at you strangely."
I have felt that way my entire life! People always look at me weird when I get excited about something that I love.

To be grownup means "to do your job and mind your work", September thinks. But she learns that maybe being grownup doesn't have to mean hiding your heart behind a stern facade. Maybe it just means getting bigger.
I can't wait for that next book to come out! I could read these books forever!

I really loved this short story, telling the backstory of Ze'ev (or Wolf). It was great to see the animosity between Z and his brother explained, as well as some background on how Z grew up into the Wolf Alpha we meet in Scarlet. I loved seeing things from Z's perspective! 18 fantastic pages!

Another great spy novel! I love it!

I love this writer!

I loved this prequel showing how Kai managed to run away from the North Estate, and his disappointment that Elliot didn't join him. All while I was reading For Darkness Shows the Stars, I kept wondering, How did Kai make his fortune? What was he doing all those years out on the ocean? How did he meet the Innovation family and become such a brilliant mechanic/inventor? And this little story answers most of those questions.

For a novella, there is a really good story-arc, with some depth and complexity, but I wish there were more seafaring in the story. I've always loves Kai's character, and seeing these experiences that made him so serious-minded helped me understand him better.

I am loving these stories more and more. I love how each book is told from a different perspective. This one was full of more and more intrigue, and as always a surprise ending. I kinda saw this ending coming though. Still love it though!

I liked that in this book we get to see more of the silo and understand more about the workings of that underground civilization. Fantastic story! And another surprise ending. Some profanity. :(
