DO NOT READ THIS BOOK IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE 'BLOOD AND ASH' OR 'FLESH AND FIRE SERIES'! Many spoilers will be had.

That being said, this book gave some helpful tidbits about a lot of details from the books (like what an Ascension entails and historical lore). I would consider it more of a clarifying encyclopedia then a story, with a fun sprinkling of Miss Willa's diary entries.
