good and short and very needed for the third book but it was so weird because it was in 3rd person??? like thats vey un-chaos walking, but it worked i guess?! :)

Very well written for something so short. The ending was just a little flat for my liking.

A suprisingly sweet companion story for the series, marred only by being confusing at the beginning. New characters, no context beyond the "13 years earlier" note, and a first scene that's just conversation. Once I was a few pages in everything started to make more sense, and I appreciated the insight into human-Spackle relations before the war came. We also get a little more info on another settlement outside of Haven and the podunk praries we've already come to know. I don't know why it was necessary to read between books 2 and 3 as it doesn't really have much relevance tot he greater scheme of things, but I liked it as a short story - once I understood what was going on.

"The world is big. Surely there is a space in it for one like you and one like me."

A tiny interlude to help bring me back to the Chaos Walking world.

A very short story latched onto the wonderful ´Chaos Walking’ trilogy. It was very, very short!

"his heart moved when he saw her, that was as far as he could explain it".
