None of these did because it was like reading them for the first time. Okay, Kelse and Fern, I ended up skipping half of it. Genista's I read it all. Walker's I'm reading it all as well and its like I haven't read these two. Enjoyed all the stories. Very nice to have a wrap up of Genista's story too. Looking forward to more Celta stories! I adore the world Owens has created with her Celta series. It's so rich and well developed, I feel like I'm there as I read the stories. This is a collection of four short stories for characters we've seen pop up in previous books. While I don't think it's required that you read the series before reading these, I would suggest it if you want a richer reading experience. I enjoyed all four stories. They made me anxious for more. For the first time, I'm glad I'm slightly behind, as it means I have two books to read and won't have to wait for the next book to come out. Four short 'novels' featuring Celta, with the first one being the story of the colonists finding a planet to settle and landing shortly before their generation ships became uninhabitable. This story has somewhat less romance than the other three and without the psi powers it would be a fairly straight forward colonization story. The main conflict here is between the newly awakened Captain and members of the crew born on the Ship who want to abandon the mission. The other three stories are set in the Celtan society that exists a little over 400 years later. These stories are very much in the style of Owens' other stories in the Celta series and I was pleasantly surprised by their quality. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Owens does a delightful job of filling in some of the untold stories of Celta but the best one is the one on hoarding. What a great fantasy story! The story on the origins of Celta is also very good.
Highly recommended. ( )
