Early on in this mini-series I complained about the writing...it definitely hits its stride a few books in, but I wanted to chime in particularly on this one that this is so far the best of them all. And probably the one with the most heart. I have a new admiration for Raphael Santiago (even if I don't have to like him all that much).

OMG THIS STORY SO BEAUTIFUL. I didn't realise how strong Raphael was and oh, how he suffered. Now, I feel like his death has a much more emotional impact on me than it did before i read this story. So beautiful

Immortality was something you paid for, and those you loved paid for, over and over again.

Although I've never been particularly fond of Raphael I really enjoyed this story. It was both humorous and heartbreaking. 

Love seeing a peak into Magnus world and all he does for people

Raphael is such a strong, determined and truly well-written character! Seeing his backstory was so eye-opening and I loved every part of it! Magnus & him have such a complex but heartwarming relationship and adding Ragnor to the mix was the cherry on top! This might be my favorite short story as of now!
