The premise -- King Emeritus Michaelis recording his memoirs rather than dictating them to the librarian -- was an inventive way to get him into podcasting, but admittedly I didn't find it all that interesting to read about (I'd be happy to never think about soundproofing again). That said, I loved meeting Noah and Jes, seeing Michaelis adapt to retirement, and catching moments with the other characters from FĂȘte for a King. All in all, a delicious romance with even more Askazer-Shivadlakia worldbuilding.
