I've had three books to fall in love with Damen and Laurent, but 24 pages were simply not enough space for me to gain insight into Jord and Aimeric.

I think this perfectly captures the issues I had with this short story. Though my heart was anxious for Jord and Aimeric, it went into a frenzy whenever my cinnamon rolls Damen and Laurent were sighted from afar or even just mentioned. Reading this on my commute actually almost had me miss my stop, that's how immersed I was. Let me put it out there: I tremendously enjoyed being back in this world with these characters. On the whole, however, 24 pages were not enough to bring some substance into this love story between two important side characters. Recommended to those with nerve-wracking Captive Prince withdrawals. The only reason that caused me to give this three stars is that it’s too short and that I’d have loved to get a better look at Jord’s and Aimeric’s relationship! I always wanted to know how it developed and if Aimeric truly loved him, but I guess I’ll never know! *sniff* Laurent was only fifteen in one of the two story lines and he already had to deal with all those intrigues and malicious doings. He argued for you, was the thought, but he was a boy who didn’t know better than to stick his neck out.Īnd yet, reading this short story the rest of the shards that once resembled my heart broke for him. “He’s green,” said Jord, frowning, because the Prince had left himself vulnerable, and was too young to know it. ”He is a coldblooded son of a bitch,” Orlant said, proudly. Haha! Laurent’s way of thinking never ceases to amaze me! <33 I think I love him even more after that! XD

He might look innocent and naïve with his blue eyes and blond tousled hair but Laurent is anything but green! -P Still he clearly underestimated young Laurent and had no idea what he’s capable of. “I told you I’d take care of it,” said the Prince.

In some way I always thought of him as his father-figure and I think he actually might have been. Wonderful, righteous, naïve and gullible Jord! He was one of my favourite “Captive Prince” characters and I always liked his special relationship with Laurent.
