I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author.This is a two part review of the Mystic Stones series. Check back tomorrow for my thoughts on Obsidian also by our lovely coordinator.Ruby is a short story, that gives some background to the Mystic Stones Jewel series. It was a great addition to the series, and a really touching dedication accompanies it from the author.I actually read this before Obsidian, which might not be a bad idea. I wanted a better idea of Curry's writing style, and decided reading the short first was the way to go. It's about 4000 words, and did nothing but inspire me to dive into Obsidian - which is the review you'll find next.Ava and Tom are well developed, and getting to know them a little bit before reading the novel was nice. It left me with questions and wanting more - which in this case is a very good thing!More specifically, this is a touching short story, which will make you want to run out and grab Obsidian as soon as you can. More romance than sci-fi, it's got some great tie-ins to current events and dystopic aspects as well.I enjoyed it very much, and can't wait to delve into more detail with my review of Obsidian tomorrow!
