God it was so weird to see inside Lehrer's mind and to actually see Adawolf.

I love when a novella gives you more insight into why a character is the way they are. However, I still hate Lehrer with my entire being

Okay, I wasn't sure if a prequel would really justify its own existence, but tbh this is a better look at what the magic in this world does than we got in either of the novels, so for just that I think it's pretty cool already. The glimpse into the villain's psychology is always welcome too, if a little less surprising.

Really my biggest issue is that it felt like it dragged a little? I don't know, it's struck me as a little long for what it was.

Calix remains one of the most complex and compelling villains I’ve ever read.

Chosen one becomes the king who becomes the villain? Such. A. Good. Arc.

Highly recommend to anyone who read The Fever King. Usually short stories don’t add much to the series, but this one was well worth the read!
