“The light winked out. Jem and Tessa were already in motion. In the century and a half they’d known each other, much had changed, but this truth endured: when a Herondale called, they would answer.”

Finally, I'm all caught up! This is one of the most highly-rated novellas in this collection thus far, and even though I didn't love it quite as much as everyone else I can definitely see why. This follows Jem and Tessa as they try to help Rosemary Herondale and her son.

This is a very mournful story. There's both death happening in the present as well as the two main characters reflecting on the past, but the end is incredibly hopeful. Having read QoAaD first means that the end didn't quite have the impact on me that it likely would have if I had read this beforehand, but the ending was still absolutely beautiful. I would also still die for Kit, even though he's literally only on the page for two seconds.

I'm very excited to re-read all most of these stories again when the physical bind up is released, and I'm both excited and nervous to read the two extras.
