 This is the second novella in The Darkest Minds series. At just 49 pages it is the shortest installment, and it is also my favourite. 
 This follows one of the trilogy's main character's, Liam Stewert, and takes place directly after the close of the first book. I won't go into the events that occurred there, but I will say that they were pretty harrowing. Liam is dejected and alone, still fleeing from his persecutors and searching for his family. 
 The rest of the series has a fast tempo, is action-orientated and leaves little time for character study. This short story is exactly the opposite. This is a quiet and distressing read that highlights the horror of what has been inflicted upon the characters, in the first book. There is still, however, and in true Bracken style, full of unprecedented and unsettling twists to the narrative. 
 Whilst not exactly adding any further understanding to the plot of the main trilogy, this was an interesting insight into one of the character's psyches and made my affinity with his plight that much more real.
