Lara Knight's Reviews > Life Before Legend: Stories of the Criminal and the Prodigy

ALL THE STARS! My precious cinnamon rolls June and Day are perfect! I am so happy that I got this extra material, it was well worth buying the entire hardcover boxed set just to get these 41 pages of new content. I must admit I hesitated because it was so expensive and I could have got the books so much cheaper, but boy am I glad that I ignored myself and bought them anyway, because it was so worth it! I am so happy to have read this!

Despite the lack of length, it was just so sweet!

Day's story was really cute. He is so funny and caring towards others despite all that he was going through back then. It was also cute to see how they impacted each other in such minor ways all the way back then, even when they knew nothing about each other.

June's story was my favourite though. Her thoughts show how vulnerable she is, and craving of acceptance, but she is still so witty, clever, forthright and courageous, I absolutely love reading from her perspective. And seeing more of Metias was awesome as well. He was so protective of June and the way he looked after her was gorgeous.

A part of me cringes when I see authors releasing these short stories to make you spend more on their series, but I am so addicted to the characters that I just have to buy them anyway. I see right through their clever marketing schemes, but they still get my money because they have me trapped. I need the extra content. And then it's worth it, so I can't even be annoyed at how much money I spent and I know I will do the same thing again...

Anyways, I loved this so much, and all the insight it offered into the events leading up to Legend was awesome to read about. I highly recommend to anybody who's able to get their hands on a copy!
