I've finished: Lives of Bitter Rain by Adrian Tchaikovsky
Lives of Bitter Rain starts strong, as we witness Angilly's childhood trauma and see her develop her skills.
But eventually it just becomes a superfluous prequel. We learn nothing new about the world or the characters that wasn't already told or implied in Days of Shattered Faith.
I don't think there's anything here that couldn't be covered by a flashback scene or chapter in the next novel.
