I enjoyed most of these stand alone "bulges," as she calls them in her introduction. I loved "Virgins," a true prequel, where a very young Jamie and Ian try to be mercenaries in France. I also enjoyed "A Fugitive Green," where Lord John's older brother Hal meets his very young (and sharp) wife Minnie. When the author says Jamie's in this one, that's pushing it, as he appears in the shop for a few minutes and then disappears from the story! I can't say I liked "A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows," but it fills in a hole I'd really wondered about. "The Space Between," is very charming when it's dealing with Young Ian's older brother, Marsali's younger sister, and the Lady Hildegard. However, who IS this creepy Comte St. Germain? Maybe when I reread "Dragonfly in Amber," now on hold, he will make sense. Generally, while I'll read everything Galbadon writes, I prefer the Big Enormous Books.
