Night of Cake and Puppets

What an absolutely delightful novella! It's the side story I never knew I needed. I love these two characters in the main trilogy, so getting to see them at the centre was a lot of fun. Of course adding in Laini Taylor's amazing writing and whimsical dark storytelling and it was bound to be a win. I think this has set the bar too high for first dates though, I'm not sure I'll be satisfied with anything less than a treasure map and magic. The illustrations were also win, they added a lot to the story and I loved the added artistic element. So worthwhile if you like the original trilogy!
