Rating for Court of Birth, Court of Strength by [a:Aliette de Bodard|2918731|Aliette de Bodard|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1645728070p2/2918731.jpg]
This was pretty much perfect. I love Aliette de Bodard's Dominion of the Fallen series world and the characters and it's always amazing to be back even if it's so bleak! This short-story focuses on Samariel and Asmodeus and... my poor heart! I love Samariel so much. It was interesting to be in his head and see how much goodness there was in him, because that's not something that we really got to see much in [b:The House of Shattered Wings|23601046|The House of Shattered Wings (Dominion of the Fallen, #1)|Aliette de Bodard|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1431963046l/23601046._SY75_.jpg|43203048].

Samariel looked away, obscurely embarrassed, "I'm sorry you had to go through that." The smell of Asmodeus's perfume - orange blossom and citruses - saturated the air between them.
"Don't." Asmodeus grasped his shoulder for a fraction of a second, a shock that travelled up Samariel's chest until he could scarcely breathe. "We all play the hands we're given. There's no shame in that."

It looks like most of the Fallen are complete jerks lacking in empathy. But then, this was one of Philippe’s complaints when we meet him, years later, story time, than the events in this short.
I like how de Bodard has given us different glimpses into Asmodeus’ character with her short stories. Here we see Samariel and Asmodeus, before the start of their relationship, unconsciously, or not, beginning towards Asmodeus taking over House Hawthorn.
