just meh.
definitely going to skip when i do another reread of legend when the next new boom book comes out
This novella has two snapshots, one from Day's first kiss another about June's first day of school. Overall I enjoyed it but it took me way to long to read for a novella. It wasn't because it was bad or anything it was just okay. This provided more background for the characters to understand why the characters acted the way they did in the first book. Overall I enjoyed Day's story more than June. In my opinion June just sounded like an over confident brat, and honestly I feel like she was still like that up until Champion. I'm not sure if the novella is worth the money but it's nice to check it out if you have nothing else to read.
So can use have a little more... I know there's the rest of the series but I wanna read more about twelve year old June and Day.
It's short and it was nice to get back the world of June and Day. You will get to live in a memory of Day's and one of June.
At first, I was like “oook”. I mean it was OK In the grand scheme of things I just couldn't understand the significance of this being written. Now that I've read Prodigy, the second book in the series and the book that comes after this one, I realize that it lends for a better understanding of some things that go down in Prodigy. Honestly, though... You really don't even need to know these stories/memories. Not really.
