Bittersweet short story about how a Prince of Cats became Tybalt, King of Cats. I don't know enough about London history to have this event anchored in my mind, but I do appreciate how McGuire links her October Daye urban fantasy series to historical events. ( )

Princes die when they become Kings. It is the way of things. But oh, I would miss the foolish
Prince that I had been.

me, when starting this series: every time I hear the name Tybalt I think of Romeo and Juliet. it's probably just me though
me, after reading this: wait ( )

This is a good coming-of-age story, and adds some interesting background to the world.

(I'm pretty sure I read this years ago when it was on the Hugo ballot, but I don't seem to have any record of it... I'm glad I re-read it now that I've started reading the October Daye books, in any case.) ( )
