“Time goes on even when we do not.”
Following the antihero of the first book of the series, Warner. This also shows unseen pages of the infamous journal from the first book. Watch as he struggles between his desire to be good and his desire to please his father.
This is my personal favorite of the novellas within this series. Warner remains one of the only semi-interesting characters within the chaos of this series, so seeing through his eyes is a refreshing break from the protagonist. Despite this, it is still clearly a part of the series, and shares all of its flaws. Still too YA for my taste, within a dull protagonist (though we are given a much-needed break from her perspective in this book). But this novella in particular was a childhood favorite of mine, so there is some nostalgia remaining years later. Overall, it’s just okay 3 out of 5 stars.
