Pet (Captive Prince Short Stories, #4) by C.S. Pacat

SUMMARY

Pet follows the rise of Ancel at the poisonous court of Vere. Set during the events of Captive Prince.

MY REVIEW

‘I think,’ said Berenger, ‘that the only person in this place who shows me their real face is you.’

Who cares about Ancel's story? Ancel always has been a manipulative little shit. Not a favourite character.
Apparently and surprisingly I found his story fascinating. Berenger was such an honourable man who made me wish that things between him and Ancel were different from the beginning. Maybe then Ancel would have a chance to be a better man.
And Ancel's story made me wonder: what if Laurent was poor and the only way he could survive was if he was a pet? Would he behave the same?

I strongly believe that you need to read the main series Captive Prince before you read the Captive Prince Short Stories. They are full of spoilers.

                             

The Adventures of Charls, the Veretian Cloth Merchant (Captive Prince Short Stories, #3) by C.S. Pacat

SUMMARY

The Adventures of Charls follows the dealings of a humble cloth merchant in the days before the royal Ascension.

Set after the events of Kings Rising and The Summer Palace.

MY REVIEW

‘Lamen,’ said Charls, in a shocked voice. ‘Why are you dressed up like the King?’

That was fun! Charls the veretian cloth merchant is the sweetest and most innocent character of the whole series.

I strongly believe that you need to read the main series Captive Prince before you read the Captive Prince Short Stories. They are full of spoilers.

The Summer Palace (Captive Prince Short Stories, #2) by C.S. Pacat

SUMMARY

"When all this is over, we could take horses and stay a week in the palace..."

Set after the events of the Captive Prince trilogy, The Summer Palace is a story about Damen and Laurent. It's an epilogue of sorts to the Captive Prince series.

MY REVIEW

‘Your Highness, you asked to be notified when the King’s retinue reached the palace. I’m here to inform you that the King of Akielos has arrived.’
‘Thank you, I can be said to be faintly aware of that.’

Damen and Laurent are finally relaxed and happy.
The way Laurent had treated Damen has been forgiven but not forgotten. The ghosts of their brothers are still present. And now without family, they only have each other.

I strongly believe that you need to read the main series Captive Prince before you read the Captive Prince Short Stories. They are full of spoilers.

             

Green but for a Season (Captive Prince Short Stories, #1) by C.S. Pacat

Green but for a Season (Captive Prince Short Stories, #1) by C.S. Pacat

SUMMARY

Green but for a Season is the first of a series of four Captive Prince short stories. It follows the relationship between Jord and Aimeric and is set during the events of Prince’s Gambit.

MY REVIEW

Jord: ‘I’ve fought under him since he was fifteen...He’s my King.’

Jord had been fooled but he has always been faithful to his king.

I strongly believe that you need to read the main series Captive Prince before you read the Captive Prince Short Stories. They are full of spoilers.
