I adored "A Girl of Fire and Thorns".  Its sequel may be the most single most anticipated book for me during this year. So I was pretty excited to read this short story about Elisa's older sister Alodia.  Alodia is supposed to lead her people and at this point in the timeline Elisa's just the chubby younger sister who happens to have a Godstone (which foretells her greatness).  It was nice seeing Alodia's side of things.  She is a strong heroine who takes matters in her own hands when a young girl is presumed taken and/or eaten by a giant cat of some type.  This is a short (very short) story and maybe $2.99 is a little high of an asking price, but it is a full story and I think it definitely does add something to the series as a whole.  If you loved the first book, this one is worth picking up.  I enjoyed every page of "The Shadow Cats". (Also this is a great refresher for the new book!)
