If asked if this novella could be read as a stand alone, I think it could be but honestly it won't have the same impact it did if you haven't read On The Island. So read Book 1 first.So about On The Island... I thought it was great. It was one of the emotional reads - one of the rare ones that I've read more than once. There was a certain element that made it uncomfortable and I did struggle over it but in the end decided to let it go since theirs was a relationship with special circumstances.Uncharted , I also thought was terrific  for a couple of reasons. It gave us a different persons perspective of life on the island. While T.J. and Anna's experience was more forced onto them, Owen was there by choice. Owen's experience I thought was more focused on the beauty of the island. A haven of sorts, while T.J. and Anna's experience was the total opposite.My second reason was Owen. He just was one likeable character. Here's this young,  intelligent and wealthy guy that could have lived precariously instead he decided he's done with it all. He was determined that he didn't want that lifestyle and he gave it all up. He was also  organized about it, he thought of everything. With the relationship he had with his family you would think that he would just leave them empty-handed but he made sure that they were well taken care of while he was away. I also enjoyed his relationship with Calia but I won't go into the details (don't want to spoil it ). The best thing I loved about him... he sought T.J. and Anna out in the end.I also loved that we got a glimpse of T.J. and Anna's life years after their life on the island. After all that they have been through I'm glad that they are still as happy and in love as they were at the end of the first book. I can foresee them going through more challenges in the future and I'm wondering if the author has any more planned after Book 1.5.I thought the author did a wonderful job in setting up this story. And I am grateful that everyone involved was able to find closure. Highly recommend this one.liezelsbookblog.net
