This is the epilogue I needed after Kings Rising.

Of course the stories with Damen and Laurent are my favourite, but I really enjoyed the others as well for various reasons. The hijinks with Charls made me laugh. Summer Palace was completely swoon-worthy and also healing. I think I was least interested in the one with Aimeric because fuck him, but even then Pacat manages to intrigue me.
