3.5 StarsMinor spoilers for Through the EvernightBrooke has never been my favorite character in this series and well she isn't supposed to be since she is Peregrine's ex-somethng. But this novella gives insight into what is happening right after Aria and Perry make it back to the cave with all the Dwellers. Brook is trying to come to terms with the love she sees Perry hold for Aria and the loss of her best friend Liv. Clara is returned at least so happiness is mixed in with all the sadness.My guess is that Brook will play a bigger part in the final book and that is why she gets how own novella. As she is chased by the 3 brothers in the 6 that Perry brought back with him she explores her past relationship with Perry and finds that maybe what they had wasn't as strong as she once thought.The Brothers Hayden, Hyde and Straggler (Haven) were all cute in their semi-pursuit of Brooke competing with each other. All are very different in their approaches.--  "I don't want to ruin my chance to know you, Brooke. That's why. I don't want to ruin it by saying the wrong things."Brooke is strong and a protector of her clan and family. She must help as there is a threat when Wyland trys to come back to the group. She and the 6 must help each other to overcome their foe.I really liked the ending of this novella, who says you need a man to be happy sometimes it is better to choose to be alone until you are healed than choose something that isn't exactly right. Brooke became much more likable by the end and has at least come to terms with the loss of her first boyfriend. I really think that later she will be a much stronger character.  I even have a very strong suspicion that if she finds love in the next book it might not be with one of the brothers but someone else less expected.But, my favorite parts were still the glimpses I saw of what was going on with Aria and Perry. There really are only a few snippets but I loved them all.  There are a few chapters of Into the Still Blue that are a great tease until the final book comes out.
