Book 0 is an optional prequel!

- The characters introduced there are relevant to the story and some stuff is foreshadowed that will happen way later.

- Val starts off with only one basic ability, then learns new abilities and perks quite quickly, so the progression element is strong. (A good number of optional charts is included for her and other characters.)

- There is a lot more doggo, in addition to Val’s relationship with her family having more depth.

As the author, I would say that it is worth the read. Readers seem to have enjoyed the content in Book 0 too!

Book 1 is the fast-paced starting point!

- It will pop you into an action scene right away.

- Val already has her basic ability spread from Book 0.

- It is written in such a way that you don’t need to read Book 0. If you do read Book 0, it will naturally summarize some information that you already know.

Wherever you choose to start, I hope that you enjoy the story!
