I might remember to add the reviews for the other stories in here as I read them, but right now, I am using this solely for Changeling, as it is not available by itself anywhere that I've seen.

It is from Niles' point of view, starts 27 years before the start of Widdershins and has spoilers - and fills in some of Percival's backstory that you likely won't care a bit about if you don't know the series. Do not read this short story first, even if you are a chronological order purist. It does not work as a good introduction to the series (seriously, start with Widdershins, please) but it is interesting.

I never wanted a Niles POV story, but...it is interesting to read about his thoughts and feelings on Percival and just how toxic his masculinity is. Over all, I found it interesting (there's that word, again) and I did like the look at young Percival (and his surprising backbone of steel) but this wasn't actually...needed.


(Side note: This hardcover bindup is gorgeous and I really, really want to rebuy the entire series like this. As I'm planning on a series long reread in 2024, this might be the right time to buy the whole thing... I'm trying to talk myself out of it, because it's $20 a book, for ones I already own - but they are so, so gorgeous.)
