The Ghost Bird #1.1
Meeting Sang: Kota
Kota Lee has been trying for weeks to get the girl up the street to notice him. She's beautiful and intriguing, but seems incredibly shy. Too shy. Every time he tries to get close, she dodges him, like a skittish little bird, flittering away out of his reach.
Troubled by her haunted looks, he's tried to give her some space, respect her need for solitude. Still, he can't forget those eyes that are haunted and—he thinks—maybe hiding secrets.
One dark night as thunderclouds are rolling in, he's driving home late and spots her standing in the road. It's too late for her to be out for a walk and the pack on her back tells him what she's doing: she's about to run away.
She could get hurt, or worse, disappear forever. He can't let her go; he'd never forgive himself if he did.

Kota, Kota, Kota♥...

Well this was a pleasant surprise! Every now and then I wish for a new dose of these Academy guys, so I was stoked to see this short story existed. Even better was the fact it was in Kota's POV - I love reading things from the guys POV (even if they're only short!). Please keep em coming, C.L. Stone.

I love it. Can’t wait to read everyone else point of view. C.L stone out done herself once again. Allowing us to be able to see different point of view of each characters help us have a better understanding of how each of them. Can’t wait to read the next meeting Sang chapter!!!!!

I loved viewing things from Kota's side. I honestly didn't want it to end as quickly as it did!

Book 1 of the Meeting Sang series retells Chapter 1 of Introductions through Kota's POV.
I absolutely adore Kota! He's one of my favorites of the boys, and it was great being able to be in his head and see things from his perspective. I love how smart and calculating he is. He thinks of everything, and he's so, so kind and caring. I just love him. The whole thing with Max surprised me, and it just showed me how brilliant he is. He's just so good! It was also fun reading his thoughts and seeing him trying to read Sang with his "training."
I've always loved reading different viewpoints of a scene or story because it allows me to analyze characters better and get to know them more. So I'm really happy for this series.
This book actually had some slight differences from the corresponding scenes in Introductions (Ghost Bird #1). It wasn't anything obvious, so I don't think many would notice. One part of the dialogue was clipped out or forgotten, and some other things were skipped or left out, including some of Sang's reactions or actions.
As for the writing, I only noticed some typographical errors. Nothing too serious.
I enjoyed this alternate POV, and I blazed through it. It was way too short, and I wish it was longer! I wish the author also threw in scenes from later in the story, too. That would've been great. But overall, I really liked getting to know Kota better by getting a look into his mind.
Ahh! Give me a friend like Kota! Please!

I cannot believe I haven't read these novellas yet. But I guess it is also a good thing, because this way I can "hang out" with the characters while waiting for the next book in the series to come out.
And it was interesting to see the same events happening from a different perspective. I was just remembering how apologetic Kota was about Max jumping on Sang. If only she new the truth back then, right? It could've changed everything.
But anyway, I am quite enjoying these little throwbacks to the past.

I have gotten very into reading Reverse Harem novels lately becasue of this series. It's super hard to find decent ones that don't just read like fan fiction and this series is quite good actually. This series is really good though, it is slow to develop but that allows for more books in the series which is a good thing. Both the characters and the story are fully fleshed out and well written. I'm enjoying becoming invested in this world and pleased that I discovered this author.

I enjoyed this novella. I liked getting a deeper look into Kota and what he is like. We rarely get chapters in the ~A~ section in his point of view. This novella showed how much of a sweetheart he is and how much he was willing to do to help Sang even though he didn’t really know her. After reading it, I just wish we got more chapters in Kota’s point of view more often.

Kota is not my favorite guy. I had also hoped this shortstory would be more... personalized. Instead it seemed pretty generic. Like this could be just about any guy going all ga-ga over a pretty girl.

Honestly, you have to be an addict to read the POV shifts that re-hash the boys' first meeting of Sang. Or a masochist. Or both.
But I guess I am, because I kinda loved 'em. *sigh* So disappointed with myself.

It was cute. I love Kota and his dorky-ness. And I’ve missed Sang. I wish it had gone further then the first meeting though. I wanted to see him falling for her and while this book explains some of that, it only talks about the very beginning.

I love getting inside Kota's head and understanding better what he's thinking upon meeting Sang.

I am glad that I got to read Kota's point of view. I knew his dog Max didn't 'acciedently' knock Sang over, now my suspicions have been confirmed.

This is so much better than the first book, it's actually relieving.

I so glad she wrote this to go along with the series. Wish it was in first person though

I really enjoyed it
I like being able to know what Kota was thinking and can't wait to read about the other boys. It's interesting and I wish it was longer

Great!
So awesome to get insight into Kota's thoughts! I would love it if the whole series was retold from the guys point of view:)

Love the series but recommend buying the books 1-4 bundle to save money.

Love it.
I loved hearing kota’s side of the story. The way he caught on that something was wrong with her without even talking to her. Kota is pretty amazing.

It was great to get Kota's side of what happened when he and Sang met.

Seriously anything CL Stone writes i'm in love with!

loved hearing the beginning through Kota's eyes! It is interesting to find out what he was thinking and compare it to what Sang was thinking. Love this idea!

Cute novella
Cute short story from Kota's point of view. He's even more adorable inside his own head rather than just from Sang's perspective.
