SUMMARY (from Goodreads): The Adventures of Charls follows the dealings of a humble cloth merchant in the days before the royal Ascension. Set after the events of Kings
Rising and The Summer Palace.
MY THOUGHTS:
I am only
taking away a star because of that abrupt ending. I need Charls's reaction when he figures it out, damn
it! And, well, Damen’s or Laurent’s POV would be immensely more welcome. Although,
I can well imagine our beloved kings had fun trolling Charls behind his back
the entire time.
I pretty much loved everything, from all the undercover shenanigans to Laurent totally being
‘chaotic good’ and the mention of the cuff (I assume Laurent is still wearing
his, too) to all the glimpses into Damen and Laurent from Charls’s POV.
Seeing the
events and characters through Charls’s eyes was definitely entertaining as he
is very perceptive in some ways (and I loved his loyalty and concern for both Laurent
and Damen, I mean, Lamen), but his wit fails him in certain aspects and
leaves him terribly (but adorably) oblivious.
