This is a weird book. I mean, it's fun reading about Maxon's mother. It's just strange to read about Clarkson, who is my least favorite character (of course) in the trilogy. In fact, he's so hated that I don't understand Amberly's devotion to him. Amberly is obviously a nice girl. But really, she's too passive and obedient. I'm not used to reading about a relatively weak girl who relies on her husband to live. Clarkson... well, at least we will know why he's such a jerk in the trilogy. But I really don't expect him to be... kind. He's bossy though, even in his teenage years. It's hard to judge him fairly when I've been so accustomed to the horrible behavior of that son of a bitch. It's an experience though, and people say always go for new experiences.
Besides the fact that I'm weirded out, I actually feel nothing when I read the book. Definitely no swooning, because that will be kind of disgusting. It's not a bad novella though.
Rating: 6/10
