Before the Claiming by Kami Garcia, Margaret Stohl

3.0

Definitely the story the readers asked for but maybe not so much the answer we looked for. Sarafine is what I consider one of the more interesting characters as she did have her dark tendencies get to her unlike Lena. After being exposed to her story in the series I would have liked for her background story to have more elaboration. She tried so hard to fight the darkness in her but succumbed so easily, and I would have liked to read why. I also would have liked to read more about the 'magic' of it all, the abilities, the legends, rather than just the tragedy. Other than that it is really nice to read how Macon came to care for Lena and the the bond they had from the start.

Short story of Emmaline, Macon and Amma finding Lena after the fire that killed her father, and trying to protect her from her mother.

This one was more abrupt and felt unfinished to me.
