A collection of short stories set in the universe of the original trilogy, featuring side characters from the original. It includes an origin story for Goddard. I'd say well worth reading to eke out a few more drops from the world built by Shusterman, and some of the short stories are really great in their own right, though some did fall a bit flat for me. I was comfortably able to read it in two train journeys and return to the library within a few days.

Good, simple fun.
