Review:
This will be a short review, but still. I really enjoyed reading about Amma. It was short novella and I'm sure we could have said a lot more about her, but I liked to have this insight in her past and how she came to be part of the Ethan's life.
I feel sad that whatever she did, her destiny was set in stone. She couldn't change it and even if she could have, a part of me believe she would have done the same things if only for Ethan.
You can see just how deep she cared for him and it's really touching that Ethan got to read about it and learn more about the woman who was part of his family.
These novellas are a nice addition to the series and I can't wait for the next one.
