This is a short and sweet book that gives you a little glimpse into the lives of Prince Ramsey and Princess Trystan roughly 3 years after the Traitor's Masque. It is best to read it after book #5 just so it doesn't spoil any previous plot lines, but it isn't necessary to move the story line along.
It was nice to see pregnancy portrayed much more realistically, even if it is a fantasy novel. It's satisfying to know that even princesses have swollen body parts and ravenous hunger. Of course Trystan and Ramsey are as snarky and adorable as ever. It is very short and it's definitely worth the read if you need a good chuckle.
“Tomorrow it’s your job to liberate the pastries. Today I was forced to run the gauntlet of at least a score of scandalized kitchen maids, who are now no doubt gossiping about my eating habits and wondering whether I’m feeding an entire orphanage or a harem of illicit admirers.”

“I suppose we could name him after Kyril,” Ramsey interrupted, straight faced. “Better to name him after your horse,” Trystan muttered, grimacing in mock horror. “At least your horse wouldn’t be inclined to brag about it.” Ramsey chuckled. “But would you really condemn your own child to be known as Prince Parsifal?”
