Rezension von Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i>“There was music in me, but in this post-Cataclysm world, that didn't matter very much.” </i></b></blockquote> I always like reading novellas, because they always bring something that adds to the world, the characters or the main plot and this one wasn't different. Actually, some things that happen here were really important to my understanding of some things that happened in book 2 of the main trilogy. In this story, we meet the 'original' Sam, the one from before Heart. We know more of his backstory, how he met Stef and other well-know characters and we can better understand a bit how this world came to be like we see in Newsoul - a kind of post-apocalyptic world where magic is back, a bit like in The Shannara Chronicles. We also see where Sam first started out with his love of music, how the whole Janan/reincarnation thing came to pass and all that. But, as much as we get some much-needed context, it gave me more answers that I need to get from the final book in the trilogy and I'm not sure I'm gonna get. That is one of my problems with this series, the not as well developed world-building. Sam is also a very meh protagonist - he doesn't have this presence, he just stands in the background for most of everything and I felt like it could be any number of characters narrating this story that it wouldn't have made a difference. I'm interested to see what will happen in the third book and how the author will finish this story.
