Yes, I realize that by now my flist collectively groans when I talk about The Emperor's Edge but...
The novella set after Book 5 = love love love love!!!!
* Yara/Maldynado = total love. They are so adorable and cute and EEEE! Fangirl max.
* Sespian getting advice on wooing the ladies from Maldynado (though I think that was in Book 5) was hilarious but in general seeing Sespian fleshed out as a real character was pretty cool. I think that Sespian is who Sicarius would have been if he had a semi-normal upbringing, and as Sespian is pretty darn cool...Also, nice to see Sespian mellow a smidge toward Sicarius (Amaranthe trying to get the two of them to sit down and interact together was LOLtastic and so very Amaranthe).
* Not too much Books and Akstyr, my least fave characters.
* Amaranthe/Sicarius make-out session in the chimney. And I do mean a bona fine make-out session. Hallelujah! I nearly died. And mutual casual groping, heeee. I do think he is learning normal behaviors from her by observing which is pretty...amazing. It reminds me a teeny bit of City Hunter (though Yoon Sung was hella saner) because Sicarius has never had anyone instill any morals or feelings or even normalcy in him, so he is sort of learning by copying and observing people he cares for - Sespian and, to even greater degree, Amaranthe (because yes, I am not sure if he can feel love in a traditional sense or if it's been beaten out of him, but he cares for Amaranthe and seeks out her company and jokes with her, and makes out with her and protects her and would die for her and would refrain from killing for her, so yeah).
* She hugs him in public! And he totally hugs her back!!!!
* Everything involving pastries. Heeeee.
Basically, it was perfect and when is Book 6 coming out?! Apparently the other POV character in it is going to be Sicarius which means me=heaven.
