Oh my gosh, this was incredible. I've been putting this novella off for ages because I wasn't ready to have nothing new left in the series, but I finally read it today and I totally should've picked it up sooner! I love AIDAN (even though it low key terrifies me lol) and I've always wondered what turned it into the system we see in the trilogy, so reading this and getting that insight was fantastic. The final page gave me goosebumps! Plus, it's been years since I read the main series and revisiting that world was even better than I thought it would be. ♥

SOME MONSTERS ARE BORN.
I WAS MADE.
Yowza. Reading Memento right after finishing Obsidio, it's a bit of a shock to see how far AIDAN has come. These mere 82 pages really demonstrate how AIDAN got to where he was at the beginning of Illuminae, and even through the end of Obsidio. Amazing.
