tropes: romance y conflicto político. 
Bueno, me equivoqué en el orden pero la novela igual sirvió para refrescarme la memoria. Me gustó la historia y de hecho, Aren se redimió ante mis ojos con tremendas frases que se lanzó, no solo eso pero como ha estado protegiendo a Lara es muy bello y lo quiero ahora (después de haberlo odiado durante dos libros porque fue un idiota no hay otra palabra para describirlo). También me gustó mucho ver el conflicto de Lara, hasta Aren le pregunta porque se queda en un reino donde la intentan matar y donde mucho la odian, y ella responde que es porque quiere ser merecedora de quedarse. No solo eso pero cuando se revela que la razón por la que los tiburones no la atacaron es por las sustancias en su sangre le agrega conflicto y la hace querer demostrar su valor aún más. Como último me gustó ver como Lara recuerda su relación con su hermano, me hace querer los libros aún más; además de que la relación de Lara y Aren a crecido demasiado y me gustan juntos <3. 
El final fue muy conveniente, muy a la suerte, pero me vale fue entretenido.

Well, at least that gave me some of the closure I was looking for at the end of The Traitor Queen…

I received this digital novella as an incentive when I preordered The Inadequate Heir. It's not bad, but it's not good either. I was curious about what happened to Lara and Aren after the ending of The Traitor Queen and well, my questions were more or less answered. 

I just wished the author wasn't influenced by spicy BookTok. I know there was a content warning at the beginning of the novella but it's my preference and I would have preferred it more if the author didn't oversexualize this couple. They were fine the way they were in the first and second book! Otherwise, they're going to sound like Zarrah and Keris who can't seem to stop talking about their desire for each other.
