Oh my Ethan! I did not think I could love Ethan any more, but I was completely wrong! I just loved getting inside his head and seeing what it is really like to be him. This novella gives you real insight into his character and starts to break down the walls we have when viewing him through Nara's eyes.I think we all know that Ethan is a dark character, but I don't think we could ever fully grasp just how dark of a character he really is. He is not a bad guy, not at all, but like I said he is dark. Ethan struggles with a lot and his life is far from easy. Between the horrifying dreams, practically nonexistent relationship with his parents, living with a brother who cares but just doesn't fully understand, and having to pretend to be normal is a lot to take in and deal with. Speaking of his dreams, we are finally able to experience what they are really like. They are more horrifying than we were ever led to believe. Ethan can really feel the dreams and they affect him more deeply than I ever imagined.All in all, Ethan is a fantastic prequel novella. It really helps you to understand his character and you finally see why he acted the way he did in Lucid. I loved seeing the events that led up to Ethan and Nara's first interaction. I loved seeing Nara become Ethan's only source of lightness in his very dark world. I just loved it all really. Fans of this series, you need to read this.
