This story is a perfect read for anyone who is familiar with BG3 and loved Astarion. I am very happy to have read this, despite (knowing) how depressing his backstory is. Kingfisher perfectly captures Astarions clever machinations and flamboyant personality while underneath it all being laced with sadness.

This story follows two timelines, one being Astarion in his youth and the events which lead him to Baldur's gate, and the other being his life as a Thrall in Cazador's Palace. I very much enjoyed seeing the transition between the man he was and the thrall he became, and learning how he was shaped by the people in his life.

Rooftop Henry is spectacular.

Thank you @netgalley 🥰
