3.0

This feels less tightly edited than Cinder was or some of the other short stories, but the plot was compelling even with new characters. Very dark comparatively. Her other works definitely have moments of intensity and darkness, but this story was only that, so just be prepared. Read between Cinder and Scarlett.
