Luminosity #2.5
Flashes
A series of short stories taking place in the same fanonverse as Luminosity and Radiance. Some of them will be comprehensible without having read the novels. Some won't. I recommend starting with the novels.

A collection of short stories from within the Luminous universe. Spanning from the ancient past where Aro meets his mate to the distant future where people are slowly adjusting to the changes brought on by the end of Radiance.
The end of Radiance left me wanting to see more of that world unfold, luckily Flashes offers exactly that. Glimpses of other tales each from that characters perspective, and just as captivating as the main stories.
It was great to see how certain events played out from new eyes. I'm glad I read this. Alicorn manages to weave the stories in such a way that I'd almost swear they were canon.
If I ever feel the need to see more, there is a slew of metafiction that expands the world, as well as the sequel/spinoff role playing story Effulgence to look forward to, but for now, I am satisfied.
A great addition for fans of Luminosity and Radiance. You will need to have read both to fully understand what's going on, but that is half the point.

Great collection of short stories that really add to the world that was built. I enjoyed this much more than I expected to.

Nice collection of short stories. This is so much better than publishing a "Guide!" after finishing a popular series, like what Stephenie Meyer and Christopher Paolini did, or worse, before finishing the series! ( I'm talking about George R.R Martin.)
This book wasn't anything special, but it was short and easy to read. If you like the other two books, I recommend at least a glance over this one too.

Some of these stories are good and add to the world building. Some are just depressing. weird choice to end the book on a depressing one.
