I read this after I readINVISIBLE MAGIC BOOK ONE: ALEX NOZIAK (INVISIBLE RECRUITS), and I'm glad I did it that way.Invisible Magic - which I recommend, BTW - was a meaty story that did a very fine job of introducing me to Alex and the other recruits. It gave enough history to understand the story, certainly, but didn't give so much away that I wasn't curious about how one becomes an invisible recruit.This novella scratched that itch nicely. I already knew the recruits, and getting the back story and discovering how they all met was a great way to bridge the gaps between books one and two. And despite the length - I loves me some thousand page, ten book epic fantasy series - it had good pacing and all the action and intrigue I had come to expect of the author.If you're waffling, I'd still suggest spending a couple more bucks off the bat and starting with Invisible Magic; I liked this very much, but I can't decide if I would have liked it quite as well had I started here. But whether you're new to IR or just want to get to know the characters a bit better after reading the novels, I can cheerfully recommend this as a good afternoon diversion.
