A Dagger in the Dark

The author surprise attacked us with this novella's release, but I ain't mad at it. 
This is a prequel novella that takes place 20 years before the events of The Look of a King. It follows a much younger Roscoe, and his journey to being the pirate/semi-King's man that we know him as. 
This novella is witty, well written, and filled with wise cracks. I will say that I do wish that we got a bit more of the gritty side, as they are pirates, but the story is just as enjoyable without it. 
I would like to be reading side stories from this world for years to come. Let's go to new places, see new faces, and find new favorites. Personally a 5/5* for me, I'm still longing for more.
