I wasn’t actually planning on reading this until I received a copy in a big box of galleys, but I’m rather glad I did.

Death and Night - 4 stars - I could see parallels between this and The Star-Touched Queen. I loved revisiting the Night Bazaar, in all its beautiful eccentricity. This story was full of whimsy, rich dynamics, and a lovely, stubborn romance.

Poison and Gold - 4.5 stars - This was my favorite of the three. I liked Aasha in A Crown of Wishes, and I enjoyed seeing her star in her own story. She was sweet and determined but clueless, and her mistakes were quite amusing. I found the training with Zahril interesting, though I would’ve liked to see just a bit more from the implied f/f romance.

Rose and Sword - 4 stars - It took me a couple of chapters to get into this one, but I liked it nonetheless. I loved seeing Kamala again, as I always did like her. I didn’t realize who these characters were until near the end, but I think it was done very well. This is definitely the most emotional of the novellas.

While this bind-up isn’t my favorite of Roshani’s work, I enjoyed it. It was magical and quick to read, and allowed me to return to the world and characters I loved from her previous books. If you loved TSTQ and ACOW like me and wanted more, also like me, I recommend picking this up! It’s out tomorrow, August 7, and it’s a lot of fun.
