Who The Wollf Loves
Stop trying to make Joseline and Luke happen! Nobody cares about...!
Wait, why is it good?
Out of all the short stories I have read until now, that doesn't feel ludicrous or like a fanfiction one-shot. It is consistent with the characterization, and it provides useful context for the characters' actions in previous books.

Bred In The Bone
This is the first story that actually has possible implications for the rest of the series, thank god. The story was all right. The conflict between Emma and Julian was kinda not important or interesting, but it made sense given the context. The final reflections and mistery were good.
3.5/5

A Surfeit of Anas
And... we are back with this nonsense. I don't think i have read a single good story between Ariadne and Anna since like their first appearanc as a potential couple. The core conflict was interesting,but the execution was so stupid. At least Anna and Ariadne were in character, but everything around them I can not get behind. Matthew mentioned!!! I give them half a star more just for that.

The Judgment of King Kieran.
The plot is concise, and the stakes are appropriate for a short story. It is worldbuilds well enough, and the conflict between Kieran, Mark, and Cristina is NOT stupid. Finally!! Was it so hard??? What is going on with this anthology?
4/5 stars.

Zachary's Day Out
Another ridiculous premise, I think i need to adjust my expectations. At least in this one, we actually get to see the main couple working together on something and being in love. They dont have amnesia, or one is unconscious or are in a stupid pocket dimension. 3/5

The Beautiful Ajatara.
1.5 star.
This is ao absurd and stupid that I almost want to put it 5 stars. I only rared it half a star higher because no matter how ridiculous, Cassie Clare always finds a way to make me laugh. But what is this? It is not even really about James and Cordelia, it id about Lucie. And that part I am fine with, I like Lucie and feel like she deserves more recognition...

This feels like fanfiction.
While I always love to read about Will and Tessa, I am not sure about the context of this one. Are you telling me that it's cannon that on their honeymoon, Will fell under a spell that made him forget all his life and the WILLINGLY stayed that way??? Idk. 3.5/5 stars just because they are still Will and Tessa.
