Is it Worth Reading? Shattered Glass by Maria V Snyder
November 04, 2020" Unfortunately, not everything is in our power, and bad things do happen. But that’s not your fault nor our fault. Sometimes glass shatters despite all efforts."
― Opal ―
This is the last work for the Glass series which also included in the Chronicles of Ixia. So just in case you don't know anything about that already, i've been posting a lot of review for the last series in this chronicles which is Soulfinder Series, you can go to my other review like Shadow Study and Night Study for a bit reference of it.
Reading Order
Shattered Glass is part of Glass Series which also the part of The Chronicles of Ixia so it's probably a bit complicated to explain. In our "book bible" Goodreads, Shattered Glass is number 3.5 in Glass series, but if you read this in order of The Chronicles of Ixia Series which is consist of Study Series, Glass Series and Soulfinder Series, the timeline would be perfect if you read this novella AFTER you read the first and the second book of the Soulfinder Series which is Shadow Study and Night Study.
