The first 2 stories were atrociously written, super hard to tell who was talking which is alarming bc the main characters have very different voices. C S Pacat writes pretty good dialogue as well?? This whole book feels like unedited drabbles posted on a blog rather than a published book.
This Damen/Laurent story have been an epilogue as the trilogy finished fairly unsatisfyingly, bit of a cash grab to publish it separately.

Absolutely love that we get to see glimpses into the future of Damen and Laurent, as well as glimpses into the heads of other characters.
Green but for a Season: This is told from Jord's perspective and gives some background to how Laurent won the loyalty of the Prince's Guard. It also shows the beginnings of Jord and Aimeric's romance, making this incredibly heartbreaking to read when you know how it ends.
The Summer Palace: The epilogue of the series about Damen and Laurent visiting the titular summer palace just to hang out. Super sweet and tender, just pure fluff about them being happy and sappy together.
The Adventures of Charls the Veretian Cloth Merchant: Told from Charls POV, this shows the third time he has a run in with his prince and aids Laurent in his schemes. Absolutely hilarious to see, both due to the humor of Charls caring mostly about cloth, him not knowing who Damen/Lamen is, and from seeing Laurent and Damen from an outsider's POV.
Pet: This tells Ancel's story, and his rise into Pet-hood. He is a fascinating and complex character, and this makes me wish we had gotten to see more of him in the original series.

"You were watching the road" Another reread. Ms Pacat, I need like 20 more epilogue short stories of Laurent and Damen please 💕
Color me surprised! I didn't think I'd enjoy this short story as much as I did.
I've always considered Ancel as a trivial character, but reading about how his mind works and his relationship (kinda) with Berenger, well I've definitely changed my mind.
ps. is it possible to hate the Regent even more? Because I do.

Ancel nunca fue un personaje de mi interés pero está corta historia me hizo conocerlo mejor y que me simpatizara más

not much happened tbh
#2 the summer palace 5★
exactly what i needed after finishing the trilogy and reading THAT ending. “You were watching the road.”

“You were a force of nature. It was infuriating to fight you. Frightening to have you on my side.”
“Frightening?”
“You didn't know how afraid I was of you?”
“Of me? Or of yourself?”
“Of what was happening between us.”
