"Then what were you waiting for?"
He turned to her. You."
New York Times bestselling author, Maria V. Snyder, presents a complete collection of short stories and novellas from the dynamic and complex world of Ixia & Sitia. These stories delve into and expand the critically acclaimed Chronicles of Ixia series, featuring readers' favorite Yelena, Valek, Opal, Ari, Janco, and Commander Ambrose.
This comprehensive collection includes familiar Assassin Study, Power Study, Ice Study, Shattered Glass, and Diaper Study, along with three exciting and never before seen Diamond Study, Wedding Study, and After Study. Readers will also find bonus content with introductions to all the stories, detailed maps, character timelines, and amazing artwork by talented fans. For Snyder's fans and Soulfinders, this is a must have compilation and guide for all things Ixia & Sitia.
My Review:
I just loved reading this collection so much! This world is just so amazing, and to have all these short stories all collected together, including some new stories, was just fantastic! I just loved being with these characters again!
I've read the stories like Assassin Study and Power and Ice Study multiple times at this point. What I didn't know was that Assassin Study was a vote as you go story that readers got to vote on. That we got the original outline with the choices was so interesting, to see what could've happened!
I don't know which new story I loved more Diamond Study, of Commander Ambrose and his beginnings of the rebellion. Wedding Study, of the time leading up to Yelena and Valek's wedding (and the updates there.) And After Study, with the characters who were kids now pretty much grown up. It was all so good! And oh, the updates! I squealed a few times, because eek, it was so cute!
The fact that art from the fans about this series was included was just so touching! I don't have an artistic bone in my body, but the idea of fan work published alongside the creator that inspired that fan is a wonderful fact!
Loved reading this collection, I'm so excited for the next 2 books of Valek's story, and whatever is next from this world!
