Mare Barrow's world is divided by blood -- those with common, Red blood serve the Silver-blooded elite, who are gifted with superhuman abilities. Mare is a Red, scraping by as a thief in a poor, rural village, until a twist of fate throws her in front of the Silver court. Before the king, princes, and all the nobles, she discovers she has an ability of her own. To cover up this impossibility, the king forces her to play the role of a lost Silver princess and betroths her to one of his own sons. As Mare is drawn further into the Silver world, she risks everything and uses her new position to help the Scarlet Guard -- a growing Red rebellion -- even as her heart tugs her in an impossible direction. One wrong move can lead to her death, but in the dangerous game she plays, the only certainty is betrayal.

I only read the first 142 pages since the remaining pages were from the Glass Sword. I definitely do not feel that it is necessary to read these two novellas for the overall story, but I definitely thought Coriane's story was interesting and engaging. Farley's I did not feel was necessary at all, since I already know quite a bit about her from the series as a whole.
0.1 is from the perspective of Cal's mom. I wanted to know more about this character. The glimpse was so short, but good.
0.2 is from the perspective of Farley. I did not like all of the messages with encoding and classification. The action background was interesting and answered questions from the story.
I really enjoyed the first mini story. The second one I had a hard time getting through the correspondence was hard to wade through.
