This is an ebook only that takes place between books 2 and 3 of the Stone Braide Chronicles by Bonnie S. Calhoun. It provides a bit of story and background to set up the third and final book in the series. Overall, it is a pretty good read and I am enjoying the series more as I get closer to the end. The first book was a bit slow but each book since has been gradually building to a more interesting, fast-paced read.

I started reading this for last month's one word title challenge but did not finish it in time. I read the first book in this trilogy a few months ago and bought the next two when they came out. I enjoyed this book, just like the first, though it is not as good as the Divergent series or the Hunger Games series. The depth of character and story isn't quite as good in my opinion, but it is still enjoyable, overall (especially the second half of this book). I will read the last in between short story and the last novel in the trilogy at some point, but next it's on to historical fiction.

In this prequel to Calhoun's first novel in the series, Selah Chavez is trying to get out of an arranged marriage. She learns deeper and darker secrets, though, when attempting to learn more about her arranged marriage. The series is set in boroughs in a futuristic dystopia and Selah's father is the leader of one of the boroughs seemingly attempting to unite boroughs by his daughter's marriage. This short prequel ends on a cliff-hanger and leaves readers wanting to read Thunder, the first book in the series. That is what I am reading next, now.
