I’m not sure why so many reviews thought this compendium was anything but what it is. It’s a quick guide (or maybe not so quick) to FBAA and F&F. It’s not meant to be “new” information, but rather a way to look up something you may have forgotten or can’t find the description in one of the MANY books in the world. It’s like an encyclopedia. I didn’t expect anything new or revealing really, but like the 2 pieces we did get. Willa, quite frankly, I could have skipped.

I will say to fully experience it I feel like you need it digital and printed. Digital is great for the links to the colored photos and maps (almost 50 in total!). Print made the news article, letters, etc easier to read since they’re pictures and tiny in digital (well, at least on my phone haha).

On that note…I wish this came out after the series were completed. Unless everything we’ll ever know is in the compendium, I feel like we’re going to miss (2? 3?) books of potential information to add.

I do like the addition to my shelf, though, and it will come in handy since I don’t plan to do a reread before the next book!
