4 ⭐️

Hope's End - 4/5 - View into Tamas's earlier days and into how he treated his soldiers.

The Girl of Hrusch Avenue - 5/5 - How Vlora met Taniel and got adopted by Tamas, best story in the collection without doubt.

Green-Eyed Vipers - 2/5 - Worst story in the collection without doubt. Thankfully, also the shortest. Tamas's revenge on the woman who betrayed his wife and told Kez her whereabouts to get her killed and get Tamas for herself. Utterly ridiculous.

The Face in the Window - 4/5 - How Taniel met Ka-Poel, the beginning of his Fatrastan story. No two shot stuff yet, though. I was surprised to find out he hasn't killed anyone nor was in a real battle before this. Thought he had something behind him before he joined the resistence.

Return to Honor - 3/5 - Vlora hunts down Charlemund's guardsman who has intel on Adran army positions and supplies which might be handy for Kez. A filler that explains a little better that “romance” in Crimson Campaign between Vlora and Olem.
