    I felt that as a whole, this anthology was not as strong as the previous two, but that being said, the pieces that shine through are really something special.

    I truly hope that Thea Gauzon's short in particular, perhaps makes a comeback as a full-length novel. If you are a fan of Claudia Gray's "Lost Stars," then that short story is worth a read.

    Some stories dragged, 40 is a lot! But I really a great piece added to canon. I loved Brotherhood the most, and how they’re adding in live action characters. A worthy read, highly recommend you try the audiobook.
