This is absolutely perfect and not at all what I expected. When picking this up I assumed this was Tadek getting to have a little post canon romance. This is so much better than that! This is a beautiful tie up of Tadek's emotional arc, a brilliant glimpse into who he is and why he makes the decisions he does, and also a delightful opportunity to spend some time with Evemer and Kadou and Tadek after they get to just be all together on Evemer and Kadou's secret honeymoon. This isn't at all about romantic love! Instead, it's a beautiful treatise on fealty and the unique love and bond and oath between a kayha and their lady or lord. Tadek gets to work through his grief and finish his self actualization journey and I am so glad for this. It's exactly the wrap up that I didn't even know I needed, and I'm so glad it exists. Go read this! I loved Tadek already, but even if you weren't fully sold on him you should still try this out. I love him So Much I need to go lie down and feel my feelings about this banger of a sequel novella.
