My Thoughts - 3 out of 5 unicorns - I liked it!!Okay I went out and bought the first 3 ebooks in this series because I need to review the newest one.  I didn't think it was fair to review book 2 when I haven't read this series yet, and I have wanted to read them so it was a great time to buy them.Okay so I don't know my Latin and wanted to know what prolusio meant, so I looked it up.  This would totally floor my students....actually working to better understand something....the horror of it all.  Okay so I don't have a dictionary, so in my Google search I did type  :) and found it means preliminary exercise or prelude.  Well that makes sense since this is supposed to be a prequel for the series.Okay the cover is very intriguing.  The buttons or medallion looking circles make me think that they may represent the 4 elements of the series name (just a guess on my part though).  I like the dragon on the cover too.Okay even though it is a prequel, I think I might have made a judgment call error.  I'm thinking I should have read book 1 first, and then read this.  The stories are very short & quick read, but I felt like I was getting snap shots of some place but had no idea where I was is that makes sense.  Don't get me wrong, they are good stories I might have liked them more if I had read book 1 first, so I may come back and add comments about this after I have read book 1.This is my first time reading Kris' work and her descriptions are awesome so you can really see everything that going on.  I just felt like I was getting glimpses into something that may be awesome, but had no clue on how everything in this world she was creating works.There are previews to all the other books in the series after the very short stories which may confuse people who are unaware.I recommend this to anyone who has already read book 1 and liked it.
