I adored it! You can read this as a standalone novella without having read Musketeer Space I think, but I also think that having read both that there's definitely extra to be gained being familiar with both.ĭisclaimer: I have not read Musketeer Space (yet) and so I have no idea whether I'm missing anything here. This was a quick and joyful read, including all the best bits I enjoy about the holiday season and making fun of all the things that can be so annoying about this time of year. I loved the politics and the romance as always, and having this end just before the events of Musketeer Space felt awesome. As in, even in this prequel story it's well established that they are close and operate closely as a unit, but it also gives depth to that closeness and further layers the intimacy between them with the unexpected sharing of secrets.Īgain, I loved that it was plotty, but still character driven - emotionally rewarding and entertaining. I loved this adventure, it was short and sweet and I loved getting a sense of how the musketeers became so close. I saved this novella to read during the holiday season specifically so I could enjoy it's festival gaiety at the same time that I was.
