Each one is an interesting read. i really think when i do my re read i will be looking at these characters quite differently... as i mentioned before characters from "Mercy's world" are pretty much the feature of each story. so there is:Silver:Samuel and ArianaFairy Gifts:Thomas. not sure where he is from but he in the "Main Character" of this shortGray :Elyna .Another one not related to mercy but still a good read Seeing Eye:Tom and Moira (i love these guys)Alpha & Omega:aka Alpha and Omega 0.5. the prequel to the seriesThe Star of David:DavidRoses in Winter:Kara and AsilIn Red, With Pearls:WarrenRedemption:BenHollow MERCY! *fangirl moment* ok im fine now.ok thats it. i think this may be the longest review i have ever done.....it so deserves it and more!
