#1 The Wicker King ★★★★★
#1.5 The Legend of the Golden Raven ★★★★☆

After that thought, all at once, like a horrible cacophony of sound, the voice that lived behind his teeth whispered:
This is the love of your life.

Ahhh, I've missed you too much, little Jack and August (and Rina!). ♥

This was a lovely glimpse into Jack's side of things, and I enjoyed it so much. I only wish it had been longer and had focused more directly on Jack and August, and less on the (metaphorical?) side story of the brother kings in Jack's fantasy world. Had this been a much longer novella, that side story probably would've enchanted me every bit as much as its writing deserved to, but all I could really think about during those sections (aside from being hypnotized by how gorgeous K's prose always is) was how impatient I was to see more of our odd little pyros.
