As an avid fan of The Green Bone Saga I was so excited to read more from these characters and get a glimpse into their histories. 

We follow 4 short stories about Ayt Mada (told from the perspective of Yuri, Anden’s Mother), Lan, Hilo & Wen and finally, Shae. As well as some narration in between by the author, to shed light on the reasons why these scenes are important to the series overall. 

I would absolutely recommend you read at least Jade City (Book 1) in the main series before reading this collection. 

An enjoyable short visit back into lives of the Kaul family.
