My Thoughts/Review:

This was another great story from Victoria Schwab. It really dives into the backstory of Cole. It is a side you don't get enough of from The Near Witch. You get to learn really why Cole is the way he is and how he comes into his powers and what exactly it is that makes him that powerful. I loved getting inside his head and learning about his personality some more. This story makes me want a sequel to The Near Witch so badly.

It is a side you don't get enough of from The Near Witch. You get to learn really why Cole is the way he is and how he comes into his powers and what exactly it is that makes him that powerful. I loved getting inside his head and learning about his personality some more. It was so great to read about his story and learn about what he had to go through to get him to the point where he enters into Lexi's story.
Once again, I fell in love with Schwab's writing and the world she has created. This story makes me want a sequel to The Near Witch so badly. If you have read The Near Witch, I definitely suggest you read this free short story. It is completely required that you do so. It is totally worth the dive back into the world of The Near Witch. I really loved reading Schwab's prose again, I can't wait to read her other book The Archived. So go check it out, the story is free and you can't beat that. =]

I am so glad that Beth
Revis told this short story. It added to the Across the Universe series
immensely. I enjoyed it thoroughly. This story tells the story of Selene, one of
the background characters on the ship Godspeed. You really get a sense of who
she is and what her story is. If you read Across the Universe and A Million
Suns, you know what happens to Selene. I loved how art game alive on the ship
for them and how it eventually lead to the ending. If you love the Across the
Universe serie...more

Overall, I give this book:

Spectacular, adventurous and magical is what sums up this
awesome book. I am so happy that I got the chance to read this book before it
comes out in April. Hippocampus really takes you on an adventure that you don't
want to leave once the book ends. As you read you learn about Trey Atlas and
what happens to him thoughout his journey. You get to learn all about the lost
city of Atlantis and all the wonders it has to hold. The one negative about

"Another head dive into a wonderful world with such great prose and magic." =]
