jenettMy gift is amazing - if you are a K.J. Charles fan (as I am) it is set in the interim between the Ricardian books and the Lilywhite Boys books (which, in Gilded Cage, Charles made clear are in the same world and timeline and with some interesecting characters.)
This means there is a spoiler for that last book inherent in the system so a cut before I discuss the story.
in this golden hour
A visit by James Vane, younger son of Richard's nephew Dicky Vane, to Arrandene when he is six, the first time he's visited properly. Contains David organising everything, Richard and David relying on each other, mentions of Silas organising the library, and so many delightful hints of what James will become (and why he becomes the kind of man who, when being hidden from the law by someone who hates him, he is the sort of man who tidies the place up.)
So delightful!
On the writing end, my recip loved the story I put together (which ended up rather longer than I expected), and I will talk more about that after reveals, but YAY.
