Review: A prequel that takes place after the beginning of the story?

Let me first start out by saying; this book was written very well, it's extremely vivid. As prequels go, it was the perfect cliffhanger, that ushers you into a much bigger story.However, I am confused by the description claiming that it is best understood After reading book one. Usually prequels explain what happened before the first book, so this is a bit confusing to me.This book seemed to take place after a whole other story entirely. 'Adri' Dionysios and her brother apparently attend a party, and put on some sort of shocking spectral. With the two of them talking about it just before the story does a complete 180 turn.I found myself more interested in the events prior to the prequel, if that is easy to understand...I guess I will start going into the book Séraphine 0.5, and see what happens there before I tie myself down to hopping into the full length story.At this point I see a very clear cut writing style, vivid events, and a very original story line, but I am still on the fence about committing myself to a series. Only time will tell...
