Star-crossed first loves. the FEELS!
This novella was a nice addition to the Court of Fives universe. It was nice to see the world from Kiya and Esladas' POV. We see their first meeting and the beginnings of their relationship. It's sweet and genuine, but a cruel fist encircles my heart and squeezes because I know what is to become of them. *SPOILER ALERT* After reading Court of Fives, I had some doubts as to Esladas feelings towards Kiya. In a world where one is seen as a servant and the other, a master, it's hard to believe that they would last together. In this novella, it felt more like Esladas had a view of the world that danced to his tune. Arrogance of youth and the burning desire to rise o the top were some of the things I associate with Esladas. Despite knowing that an Efean woman and a Saorese man can never amount to anything in the eyes of the world, both Kiya and Esladas made the choice to be together. I would love to read more about their future trials as a couple in other novellas; if there are any. I'm going to go cry some more.
