Ember by Kristen Callihan REVIEW
Ember by Kristen Callihan (Darkest London # 0.5)
Egalley thanks to Grand Central Publishing
Synopsis from Goodreads
Prequel to Firelight.
After a fire consumes the Ellis family fortune, the beautiful and resourceful Miranda finds herself faced with an impossible dilemma: enter a life of petty crime or watch her family succumb to poverty. But once her fiancé learns of her descent into danger—and of the strange, new powers she's discovered—saving her family may come at the high price of her heart.
When Lord Benjamin Archer's one chance for redemption is destroyed by corrupt London antiquarian Hector Ellis, he vows to take what Ellis values most—his daughter Miranda. Forced to hide his face behind masks, Archer travels the world hoping to escape the curse that plagues him so that he can finally claim his prize.
But once Archer returns home to London, will it be revenge he seeks? Or will the flame-haired beauty ignite new, undeniable desires?

It's a very short prequel, not even a novella, more like a novelette, so my review will be proportionally short as well. *grinning*My advise is if you haven't read Firelight already, pick up this book first and see if you like the style of the author. If you've read Firelight already I don't think you should bother with Ember. It tells you the same things you found out about Archer and Miranda from Firelight already, but in a little bit more detail and chronologically up to the point of Archer's return to London.
So as I said, it's unnecessary to read Ember if you read Firelight already.

Ember - очень очень коротенькая предыстория к Firelight. Поэтому моё ревью тоже будет очень коротким.Если вы не прочитали ещё полную книгу, этот приквел для вас. Он поможет почувствовать стиль автора и решить нравится он вам или нет. Если вы уже прочитали Firelight, Ember - это потеря вашего времени. Он рассказывает о событиях, о которых нам уже известно из полной книги, только добавляет немного деталей из жизни Миранды и Арчера вплоть до его возвращения в Лондон, поэтому смысла его читать нет.

Oh, I recently got hold of Firelight. This seems like an interesting little prequel. Seen a lot of these mini-prequels cropping up.
thanks I was wondering about this book, as I read firelight, now I think I'll pass to read the second one when it'll be possible.
