REVIEW :
***ARC received by the author for an honest review***
Pawns is a prequel novella that tells the story of Leslie, one of the characters in Rook which is the first book in the Timeless Games Series .
It took me exactly a minute to remember who Leslie was since the story of ROOK came back to me instantly. Also did I remember that I really liked that book. :D
After remembering Leslie I recalled that I hadn't like her very much in ROOK but knew that there was something more to her than what had been portrayed. Pawns is Leslie’s story and honestly it’s heartbreaking. It actually explains a lot of her decisions from ROOK and lets you know exactly how she ends up with Chase in the first place. Her parents are terrible and she has had a miserable life. I have conflicted feelings towards her right now. Should I like her any better or shouldn't I? No matter the answer to that knowing more of her background helps me to understand some of the decisions that she made in ROOK. So she has my sympathy there.
Overall, I'd say that I did enjoy reading PAWNS. It sure will help you understand Leslie's character much better.
