"Freedom is a burden, but you will learn to bear it." 
 I like this short story. It reminded me so much of Little Red Riding Hood. It had modicum of darknes and just the right amount of literary and poetry. Let's include the moral lessons, too. 
 Tbh, it was nice to take a short break before I dived in to the final book. I was gaga over the first book, I loved it. I would read it again if needed. I lost the interest on the second tho, and totally skeptical about last book. Either way, I'm still looking forward to follow Alina's journey towards the end. But then, I love this short series.
