I read this after I'd read Spy Noon AND I, Spy because I somehow thought this was a "1.5" rather than ".5" prequel.  Who knows how I thought that.  Because of that thrown sequence, there was no suspense about the relationship between Talia and Elliot so the story had no tension, no spark for me.  On the upside, it was not violent (that old PG-13 warning I read on the reviews of, say, I, Spy)and I did not miss the violence. It also needs to be noted that this is a novella and as such did not have a lot of territory to cover.  I do not know how to objectively rate this since my rating is influenced by my own goof.  Would I have liked this more if I'd read it right after Spy Noon?  Probably so.  But having read this in the sequence I did, I feel like it added nothing to the over all story line and I could have skipped it.
