Short novella, not necessarily essential to understanding the plot of the Cruel Prince Trilogy. In fact, I felt like most of the details had already been revealed in some capacity. I thought it would bridge a gap more between the Cruel Prince Trilogy and The Stolen Heir Duet but it really didn’t. Mostly just a brief history of Carden’s childhood.

No sabía si darle las cinco estrellas o no, por ser un libro tan cortito, pero realmente no tengo pegas que ponerle. Me ha gustado mucho la prosa, he sentido pena, me ha hecho reír, y es un buen remate final después de la trilogía que, sin haberme cambiado la vida, le he acabado cogiendo bastante gusto a su mundo y sus personajes.
