This was a short story following the ending of "King's Rising." It was only about 30 pages and I definitely enjoyed the pause in action after the events that unfolded in the third and final book of the series. It was nice to watch time pass slowly and the characters interact with no pressing battles upon them. I also appreciated the dynamic and the continued complexity that was presented despite the "happily ever after."
