She’s the only daughter of a once great house that is down on their luck. It follows Queen Corianne before she became queen. Of the two stories I liked Queen Song the best. They will still be able to the novels without missing anything. If readers don’t read them, it’s no big deal. They also usually focus on supporting or minor characters instead of the protagonists in attempt to flesh out the world a little bit but usually they are of little importance. Sometimes they are just filler but other times they serve the purpose of filling in wholes that didn’t have time to get to in the narratives. I’ve written in the past about how it’s trendy for YA authors to write novellas or short stories that take place in between books or prequels. That’s what kind of great but these little novella’s. Since Red Queen is told from Mare’s point of view, things like how the silver hierarchy is set up and how the Scarlet Guard works isn’t give much detail because Mare doesn’t know these things in much detail. Giving more insight into world the books take place. The other is Steel Scars that follows Farley as she leads the Scarlet Guard into Norta. The first novella is Queen Song where we get the backstory of Cal’s mother and what really happened to her. Cruel Crown is the collection of two prequel novellas to Red Queen.
