Absolutely loved this little prequel, Jamison is such a strong character and my heart physically hurt for her, the position she's been forced into and the responsibilities she had to shoulder.
Taylor does a fantastic job of setting the scene for the coming series, introducing you to a whole new world, it's courts and their characters- plus, I love a book with a map!
I really hope to see the Malstrom sisters again in the first book of the series When Rains Fall!

(Bit of a short review, but it is only a prequel so don't have too much to expand on just yet! 😊)

I read this first before When Rains Fall. It's a super quick read—it probably took me twenty minutes to finish. It's a quick story from Jamisen Malstrom's point of view. I really liked this choice.

As for whether or not it's helpful, the full novel is written in a way that whether you read the prequel, and regardless of when you read it, it won't tamper with the experience. Since I read the prequel first (as was probably intended), I had a better handle of the story's history and how certain characters related to each other.

What a beautiful introduction to this new series! If I had one complaint it would be that I need more, and right now. I cannot wait to continue the Malstrom story in When Fain Falls

This was a well-written, tragic, short but brilliant story of a family of women doing what they can to keep their kingdom alive. It's a prequel story, and while the first book doesn't seem to have the same main characters, it definitely convinced me to put When Rains Fall on my TBR.
