This review contains spoilers for World Behind and the Red Queen series.
So this was a novella so I read it pretty quickly since it was super short. But I enjoyed it!
It was cool to see some other characters in the same world of the Red Queen series. One thing I enjoyed about this novella was that the characters seemed super chill about the multiple wars occurring around them. I found it funny that most of the characters were clueless towards things that the Red Queen series was about. Like “who’s Mare Barrow?” For some reason I found that funny.
Jem — one of the passengers on the boat — had been a servant who assisted Mare during the events of King’s Cage, I believe. Though Mare never actually saw her, I think it was nice that there’s a face that goes with the servants, you know?
Ashe seemed like a cool character. It’d be interesting to learn more about him, though I’m fairly certain I won’t. Oh well. He has a cool name, though I’d have no idea how to pronounce it.
Lyrisa criticising how men have a low regard for women’s lives was very relatable. Hehe.
While reading this I had an urge to watch a Pirates of the Caribbean movie. It kinda gave off those vibes? Kinda? Alas, I cannot.
So yeah, this novella was pretty good! The ending was very cool. Lyrisa was like “I’m dead… haha wait I’m not.” And I liked how it was open-ended.

*This age recommendation is only my opinion. Some younger people might feel comfortable reading this book, and some older people might not. That's fine, either way. Warning for swearing, violence and gore.
