From my blog, Reading the Alphabet.Beyond Fate is a companion novella for A Matter of Fate, Book One of the Fate Series. I adored that book, and was so excited to pick up Beyond Fate. Beyond Fate is told from Jonah's Point of View. Beyond Fate nearly completes the story from AMOF as Jonah is a major character in that book. To learn how hurt he had been prior to learning that Chloe was real is practically heartbreaking. I felt myself wanting to give him a big hug numerous times, to tell him is would be okay. It really made me understand just how desperate he was to find Chloe and move across the country to be with her. His motivations for what everything he does are so much clearer, and watching his reactions to the side effects you know that it's just gut wrenching for him. So many feels.In addition to giving great insight into Jonah as a character, in Beyond Fate, you get to learn new facets of other characters from AMOF including those that Chloe did not interact with nearly as much, particularly Jonah and Kellan's dad, Astrid, and Callie. I loved seeing them all in this new light, and they became much richer, fuller characters. You also get to see how Jonah views his brother and his actions and that relationship reaches new depths as you witness it being put to the ultimate test. I really wanted to hug Kellan a lot too.If you haven't read any of the Fate Series I definitely recommend it, starting with A Matter of Fate, and if you have read AMOF you really should pick up Beyond Fate. No matter whether you are Team Jonah or Team Kellan, you will want to read this book to get a fresh take on this series. It was written wonderfully, and I'm glad to know Jonah that much more.*I received an ecopy of Beyond Fate from InkSlinger PR in exchange for an honest review.*
