Well, this short story went a long way in explaining Five's character and life before betraying the Garde. Unfortunately, it felt a bit too similar to other Lost File stories with the rushed relationships and having lessons thrust upon the protagonist. Fortunately, it helped explain where Five ends in the first Lorien Legacy series and provides a backstory as we witness him gaining his first legacies. It was definitely interesting to see how he was different to the other Garde, with his obsession for storytelling, but there was a sense of inevitability that comes with this being a prequel, as the reader knows where he will end up.
