This was... fine. It's more about Darin than Laia. And sorry, but I don't really care about Darin. I wanted more about Laia before the events of the series.
I found out after reading this that Sabaa Tahir didn't write this book, and like that other review said, it shows.
The dialog was, for lack of a better word, robotic. The personalities didn't shine the way they did in the main series. I don't regret reading this, and this does shed some light on how Darin got mixed up in that mess that started the whole mess in the series. If the other books do tell us how, I think my brain erased it, because as I said, I don't really like Darin, he's kind of selfish. (imo)
