Fun little novella about Quinn's first Christmas without her Earth family and how William and the rest of the Roses make it special. Quinn's taken the throne and is now Queen. Reconciliation with her father's family has been slow going but going nonetheless. And now Quinn and William are on the way to Eirentheos to see Linnea marry Ben (the guard). Nice glimpse into how everyone has been since the end of the last book. 4 stars. ( )

Continuing where the main series left off, in this short novel you get to follow along with William and Quinn on their journey to parenthood, of the trials and tribulations of that journey with Sophia constantly over their shoulder.

You see, this is no ordinary baby, after all. This is the air to the kingdom, the link that connects the two kingdoms in a way no other heir could do. The child born of a prince and princess of the two neighboring kingdoms whose very existence links the two, as it was always meant to be.

But you see, Quinn is homesick. She misses her mother. She misses her holiday traditions and there is no way to replicate any of that. Or is there?

This story is the perfect complement to the main series, and it fills a small void for those of us who read the series and were left with a sense of longing, missing our favorite characters. The author does a beautiful job of weaving the stories together and creating not what comes as a sense of finality, but a thirst for more of the characters we have fallen in love with. There evidently will be more coming, with a spin off of sorts from another perspective some years in the future. I personally cannot wait. ( )
