I love seeing these two couples get their HEA and how their separate journeys years later inevitably bring them back together to solve the issues that happened at the end of Foul Lady Fortune. I’m excited to see how these characters are brought back to help Rosalind and Orion in the next book!

This was surprisingly cozy and lighthearted, despite all of the dark topics and content warnings. Juliette and Roma are no longer the same characters as they were in the These Violent Delights duology, but I'm glad they're living the lives they deserve, as well as Benedikt and Marshall. The banter is hilarious.

Favorite Quote:
"Hey," Juliette said. The word was muffled because she hadn't bothered drawing away first.
"Hmm?"
"We should have a fight."
Roma made a perplexed sound, thinking he had misheard her. "I beg your pardon?" (Pg. 91)

HAHAHAHAHHAAHAH 笑死了！

Both stories were quick and entertaining, a good way to wait for the next instalment in the series.

I was happy to read about Roma and Juliette after Shanghai. I missed them and the ending made me hopeful for a small appearance in the next book.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from Benedikt and Marshall’s story, but I definitely didn’t see the Murder on the Orient Express vibe coming. It was nice to read about them being happy together in those little stolen moments while trying to solve the crime.

Both stories fit well into the main plot line, to the point that I wonder if someone who doesn’t read the short stories will understand everything in the last book. I’m looking forward to it even more now that everything is falling into place.
