Origins: The Fire is a very shot prequel to Mila 2.0 but even though it is only about 15 pages long it certainly packs quite a punch! If I hadn't already been wanting to read Mila 2.0 this would have convinced me I needed to. I don't want to go into too much detail because it would be so easy to spoil the story for you but this is Mila's memories of the night of the fire that killed her father and it was edge of your seat stuff. It feels like you're right there in the fire with Mila, struggling to breathe through the smoke, terrified that you can't find an exit and worried that your parents are trapped somewhere inside the house. For Debra Driza to make me feel so much emotion in such a short story just proves to me how much skill she has as a writer.This short story is currently free to download from Amazon and it includes several chapters of Mila 2.0 (which I didn't actually read because I already have a copy of the book) so it is a great way to test the series if you're not sure about buying it or not. It definitely left me needing to know what happens next and I'm looking forward to learning more about Mila.
