I loved this trilogy and these stories just add to your knowledge about well loved characters, Alodia, Mara and Hector. Really good, differing time frames and rounds out information and character development. If you liked the trilogy, check these stories out.
Short stories about Alodia, Hector, and Mara that actually add to the character histories and world-building instead of rehashing things you already know from the books. Two are written in first-person present; one is written in third-person present. The collection is about half the length of one of the trilogy books.
