After reading Bitter Bite I had a lot of anger toward Finn. I won't give any spoilers in case you haven't read Bitter Bite yet but Finn does things in the book that hurts his family and friends and made me not like him much. And even though Gin and the rest had forgiven him, I hadn't. I'm really glad I got an advanced readers copy of Unwanted to read before I moved on to Unraveled the next full book in the Elemental Assassin series. This is a short story that takes place in between Bitter Bite and Unraveled and is Finn's story. Finn is feeling very ashamed and depressed over the mistakes he made in Bitter Bite, over the pain and deaths that were, although unintention, still his fault. When Finn sees a chance to make up for some of that by helping the widow of a coworker that was killed he jumps at it. Without any help from Gin or his other family and friends he decides to deal with a very bad giant all on his own regardless of the fact that he could easily be killed. I'm glad I read this one before moving on to Unraveled because this story allowed me to forgive Finn and be ready to move on to the next story.
I got this as an advanced readers copy through Netgalley and the publisher for an honest review.
