Review: Hector!  Just as magical as the full-length novels in the series.

I can sum up my reasons for buying and reading The King's Guard in one word: Hector.  I love Hector in the Fire and Thorns series and jumped at the chance to read about his history.I really enjoyed The King's Guard.  It had the same magical feel as the other books in the series: completely captivating in its imagery, fast-paced, and with a well-developed plot.  My one complaint is that I wish the story were longer, but it was a good size for a novella.I thought the plot with Isadora was so unique and well-executed.  I really felt for her, and also for Rosaura.  I loved seeing Hector as a young man, and knowing more about his history.  Hector grows up a lot in this short story, and that was nice to read about.I really have no complaints at all about The King's Guard.  It was just as good as the full-length novels in the series and I can't wait to read more from Rae Carson!
