What a beautiful addition! I loved the first part, but this one might even be better.
After speed-reading through the first one, i could barly wait to read the second one.
During the Novella, we get more information about Jackson, him and Leas relationship through the years, as well as insight on the resitance and how they build themselves up. At times, i almost felt like i was reading a history book, because i am so emerged in the story, and it felt like a telling of the past.
Again, i didn't need the few chapter of the present in between, except for the end! The end was wonderful and emotional, and everything i could have hoped for.
Would i read it again? In a heartbeat. While it was an easy and fast read, it was also emotional and beautiful.
