Rise back up to the floating city of Internment in this original enovella, a dark look at life in the royal family after the events of Perfect Ruin.
When King Furlow begins to treat Prince Azure as the heir apparent that he is, he takes him to see the “re-education camps” for wrong-thinkers. But as he enters the camps ,Azure discovers the dark underbelly of the kingdom—and the king himself. His view of his father can never be the same, but what about his view of himself?
This was just a small novella that takes place when Azure and Celeste are children. The king takes him to see a camp that he sends some of the undesirables. There really wasn't any new information, with the exception of seeing a few things from Azure's POV. It was an okay read, very quick, but probably unnecessary.
A short story about prince Azure visiting the secret hospital, where the insubordinates were "treated". It brought a little more clarity on the subject mentioned in the main book.
An Internment Chronicles Novella- Book 2.5.... I posted recently about how I was very dissapointed with the first novella in this series, No Intention of Dying. It was very, very short, listed at 14 pages but less then 8 on my device and it didn't contain any additional information about the character, Daphne, that wasn't already told in the series. Basically it wasn't worth the $1.99.
Which brings me to The Heir Apparent. It is the second novella in this series which I had purchased at the same time I bought the first one. It's also very, very short- listed at 16 pages but only about 10 on my device with all the extraneous pages removed and it features the character, Prince Azure. However, where the first novella came up short on content, this novella actually contained a few things about the Prince and the Attraction Camps that wasn't in the original series. Was it worth $1.99? No, not really but I didn't feel like I got completely shammed like I did with the first novella. You definitely won't be missing out on anything important though if you decide to forgo either one of these novellas.
I reread this in hopes of remembering why I rated it only a two when I enjoyed the trilogy. The thing about this novella is that it is the size of a chapter so calling it a novella seems like a joke. Also, a novella is supposed to help delve deeper into a character and give insight into things glossed over in the books, all this does is show us exactly what the books have already revealed and lacks depth into the situation and the characters themselves.
Loved this short story of Prince Azure being shown the attraction camps, that if his father knew about him, that he would be there, maybe. Another great short story in this series!
