    This is hilarious. Best short humor format since the Very Secret Diaries of the early 00s.

    Amazing world-building and characterization. Basically the entirety of The Goblin Emperor in lost scenes and alternative perspectives from the Alcethmeret staff.

    Summary

    Barney Snaith is many things - a writer (albeit one with nom de plume), a woodsman, a cat person and, above everything else, a loner. He tried the whole friendship and love things once and it was more than enough, thank you very much. The very last thing he expects to ever do in his life is to get married and yet this is exactly what happens to him one summer evening - and he's the last person to make any sense of it.

    Retelling of "Blue Castle" from Barney's POV.

    OMG this fits perfectly with The Blue Castle. Delightful style, excellent voice, a whole novel's worth of lost moments and alternative views of scenes, all expertly interwoven with LMM's prose.
