Starbound Series prequel

Before THESE BROKEN STARS . . .

Tarver was a new recruit, learning to survive on—and off—the battlefield.

Lilac was a girl in a gilded cage, trapped in the glittering world of high society.

Flynn was a young rebel, snatching what joy he could beneath the starless skies of Avon.

Jubilee was an orphan, seeking justice after the violent uprising that killed her parents.

Gideon was a runaway, disappearing into the underbelly of Corinth to leave his past behind and become the Knave.

Sofia was a child of occupied Avon, sharpening her silver tongue and honing the art of the con.

What none of them knew was that the whispers were watching. What none of them knew was that their steps were being guided.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

This 41 page story was a great insight on these beloved characters before their stories really began. Each short story gave us a piece of who Traver, Lilac, Flynn, Jubilee, Gideon, and Sofia are. What made them into the characters we see them in These Broken Stars, This Shattered World, and Their Fractured Light. How these small moments to them led them to who they are meant to be and the journey they would face later on. Though they were short, the stories were beautifully written. And though I haven't read the series for a long time, I had no problem remembering who each of these characters were. Better yet, the stories reminded me that it may be time to re-read them again with all the pieces. If you are a fan of the trilogy, definitely check out The Threads We Weave.
