To Trust Man On His Oath

After a lot of sub-par reads in a row, it was nice to slip back into an established world I love. I can't wait but am also sad to read the final book of this series.

I was not expecting this short story to be this full with emotion. I liked Kim before, but after reading this I realised I liked him in a superficial way (I mean in the first book). He was this cold man, set on doing the right thing no matter the means and I liked how he was obviously besotted with Will. Now I like him because he gained more depth, he made progress and I got to really know him, to know what he's hiding, what his true feelings and motivations are. I guess he is what I was hoping for (that sounds a bit selfish of me), what I wanted for Will. He's a good man who made some bad things.

Will is great as always, I can't find him any fault. He's so rational and patient. He is perfect for Kim and Kim better not screw this up because Will is without doubt the best thing that could happen to him. To paraphrase a line from the second book, they fit so well together.
