Fallen From Grace A Bonus Dark Mirror Short StoryAllarde, a gorgeous, wealthy noble has hidden his true nature. Discover his diary and witness his sudden fall from grace.
And don?t miss Dark Mirror, on sale now.
Allarde certainly wasn't my favorite character from Dark Mirror, so I was disappointed to discover that this short story followed him instead of someone like Jack or Cynthia, both of which I found really interesting. I was also expecting this to be a bit longer, more like "Winter's Passage," by Julie Kagawa or "The Strange Case of Finley Jayne" by Kady Cross (both free short stories for series).

The story is told through Allarde's journal entries and follows his "fall from grace," so to speak. It's when he reveals to everyone that he is magical. He is instantly kicked out of university, even though he was only defending someone from being bullied.
Unfortunately, this short story really didn't offer much extra information that I found all that riveting. Allarde is pretty dull all around, at least being inside his head was. This read like a long exposition of his backstory that the author had to cut out of the original manuscript but wanted people to read somehow.
?
The only highlight for me was when he saw Tory and his feelings for her. Their romance in Dark Mirror was rushed for me, so I liked seeing his feelings and getting that sliver on insight into what he was thinking.
?
Overall, this wasn't a huge hit for me. But it was free, and I'm enjoying this series, so I'm still looking forward to the next installment, which promises to offer more Jack and Cynthia, so can't wait!
