If you are currently reading the Red Queen series or you've finished the third book and haven't read Cruel Crown you can skip it all together. However, reading these two prequel stories will help to flesh out the characters and give their universe a more in depth feel.
There are two stories in Cruel Crown: Queen Song and Steel Scars.
In Queen Song we come to learn how Cal's mother was chosen Queen, about her life, and her death. We meet young Elara and learn how deep her treachery really runs. And we learn how some things once set in motion are inevitable. Here we see too how deep family ties can run and how Cal is in some ways very like the mother he lost.
Steel Scars brings us to the red blooded Farley, captain in the Red Guard. As we follow Farley we begin to understand more of her background and her determination to help end the Silver Bloods rule. As she sets out to recruit others to the cause and lay down new connections throughout the reaches of the lands she will come into contact with someone unlike any other she has ever met. In turn she becomes the first to realize how important a young girl will be to the cause and the revolution.
Definitely recommend as it really does make Mare and her world much more distinctive and full fledged.
