The writing is just so beautiful. I wanna cry. It makes me wanna reread The Wrath and the Dawn and the novellas other than this before reading The Rose and the Dagger. You know what? I might just do that.

Informative. There was a little effort for emotional impact and I appreciate that, so it gets 2/5⭐️

Can be read after book one but before book two.
This very short story gives us a little insight into what Khalid was doing and thinking when he found out that Shahrzad was gone (with Tariq!). It's certainly not a necessary read, but it's a quick little insight to his state of mind at that point. I would have liked a little bit more. (Was he regretting his decisions at all? Did he have even a moment where he felt like he did by choosing one woman over his country? Or did he only feel guilt over what happened with Ava originally).

Glad I read this! Even if it really was not necessary, it was interesting to see the start of the aftermath and Khalid's reaction to everything that has transpired.

oh my god.
I haven't even pre-ordered my book yet. But after reading this I'm going to.

Seeing Khalid's point of view on anything is always entertaining, and this short story isn't any different.

This one seemed a little unnecessary, but at least we know why Khalid didn't run after her when Tariq took Shazi away. It still makes me want to reread TRATD, though. *teary eyes*
