If you enjoyed the Legend trilogy, then these two short stories are a must read! It brought back all the emotions from reading Legend, Prodigy, and Champion, but in a very sweet and innocent way, since Day and June haven't met yet. After reading Life Before Legend, I really wanted to re-read the series! Well, that just might have to happen...after I read The Young Elites! :) And yes, I'm a BIG fan of Marie Lu! I seem to have a problem with novellas. Both stories were fast paste and an easy read. Neither of them held a very important, in my opinion, to Legend or Prodigy. I like for a novella to be of importance to the next book. I did like that the novella was set before Day and June met and that both of them got a story to tell. I thought it was funny how the two kind of crossed at one point, knowing what will happen later on in their lives. Two good background stories that give us a glimpse at young Day and young June, but not a thrilling nor an view-changing novella.
What do You think about Life Before Legend (2013)?
So... The crates brought Day and June together. Haha

Day was a sweetheart. Junebug was badass!
