Review: Good introduction to Padina

I read this after having read all the others (currently out) in the series.  It made a lot more sense that way since I already knew the background story.  I feel like it made more sense reading it in that order; I feel that if I would have read it at the beginning, I might not have had the same interest in the story, not to mention that it would have  made less sense.The Inari and Starfire aren't really described in depth in this book.  Everything happens very quickly.  Obviously it's only a novella, so one can't expect a lot of depth.I definitely recommend it as a background story to one who has already started reading the Starfire Angels story.  I loved getting to know Padina better, Raea's mother.  I do wish we had known more about the later years when Raea is born, but I realize that the story wouldn't have been as captivating that way.  We already know a little bit of what happens later on, but I was hoping to know more of what happened when she was later recaptured.  Maybe Novella #2?
