I like it well enough for a short story kind of thing, and I enjoyed the fact it gave light to how one of the girls who had been tested on felt while the process was going on, but in the end I felt it didn’t have the same punch to it as the full novels did. Which is understandable, since there were far less pages to build up to the final punch and it was more of a explanatory piece and a look into the before than it was something to explain a full revolution.

Something I definitely didn’t like about it was the fact that Lucy felt kind of like a carbon copy of Adelice. Maybe this was intentional and maybe it wasn’t, but either way, I wasn’t really fond of that. I’m also wondering who Lucy ended up becoming in Arras? Was she in the story (Loricel?), or was she gone like the others who had been modified?

I’m still pretty confused overall about some things. Oh well.

3 because not a LOT happened, but it was a really awesome backstory to Arras and I seriously cannot wait to read how this all comes together in the trilogy!
