Another great novella is A Knight in the Seven Kingdoms (The Tales of Dunk and Egg) by G.R.R. Martin. If you haven’t read it yet, it’s well worth reading, especially while you’re waiting on The Winds of Winter.

Has anyone read this book?
I haven’t read that particular book, though it does sound very interesting. The book you described strongly reminds me of another book on which a very good BBC adaptation just came out last summer. If you like the book you’re currently reading, either read (and/or watch) Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke. It is not children’s literature. It is excellently written, and the TV mini-series is very well adapted. (It took the author 10 years to write her first novel). It is an alternative history set during the Napoleonic Wars, and it deals heavily with the “Englishness” of magic and the consequences of using various tactics of magic. The book summary can be found on Amazon.

Neal’s in heaven, not in hell. yadda, yadda, yadda

For me, RumBelle got to a point where it was pretty much beyond redemption, so an actual life and death situation where he saves her is about the only thing that would make me consider getting back on board with the ship. Doesn’t paint Emma in a particularly nice light, (unless she secretly believes in Rumple so much that she has no doubt Belle will end up being OK), but as far as RumBelle goes, a situation like this was necessary IMO.
I never wanted Rumple and Belle to get married until after he was freed of his curse, but now that he’s freed of it, I’m rooting for him and Belle again. I don’t in anyway condone how Rumple tricked Belle and lied to her in S4, but it does take on a different light when you realize his human heart was being consumed by his curse. Now that Rumple is freed of the darkness, I think he’ll overcome his cowardice and find a way to fight for Belle.

Meanwhile, Emma commands Merida to kill Belle in hopes of forcing Mr. Gold’s heroic transformation.
*sigh*
I love Rumbelle and all, but having Emma order Belle’s death just seems like another way to tarnish her to make others look better by comparison.

How is this scene not meant to show how icky Hook is? #RhetoricalQuestion #ReginaSeesThroughIt #WhyDoesntEmma

Emma is not over Neal. Not even by a long shot. I know all of these Neal references were bait, but they were so carefully crafted as to make Neal look like an absolutely stellar man. Someone you would fall in love with and someone you would stay in love with for a long time.
There’s this feeling I can’t shake. I just miss Neal.
Like Emma, back in season three, confessed to her parents, “I never stopped loving him.” There is something heart wrenching about watching Dark One Emma Swan cry over a dreamcatcher after hearing Rumple talk about his lost little boy and how you always lose the ones you love.
The story of Emma becoming the fully realized Savior and a fully realized Emma Swan was finding a new kind of Tallahassee with Neal and Henry in the town of Storybrooke with the Evil Queen, Snow White, Prince Charming, Rumple, and Belle and everyone else. It was the idea that Tallahassee need not be the actual Floridian city but a feeling–it was the feeling of home. Never forget that this entire series began with Emma being cast out of her home. The ending is clear: Emma Swan comes home at long last and is embraced by and embraces all those she loves with open arms.
Never forget it was Emma remembering what Neal taught her about what home means that allowed Emma’s true love magic to return and get her home.
I AM NOT OK RIGHT NOW OK.
