This book was okay, it was nice returning to the characters pov's, however, i'm not necessarily sure whether or not it was entirely needed. This could be due to my own opinion on novellas and how i tend to find them boring and tedious to read. I must admit, as I was getting to the end of the book, i did enjoy it more than i was expecting. Yet, I still can't help but wonder, were they crucial or necessary additions to the series...
