Though this did not spoil my enjoyment of the book, I think knowing that this was a prequel colored my perception of the book and I did not enjoy it as much. But I think that is the case as this is an introduction to the world and the next will ramp up the plot and the friendship between Hadrian and Royce. That is what I am looking forward to the most really.
