Why this must be read: It's sweet, funny, and hot - and best of all, it features the Munchkins Eastern Guild and their entertaining ways, along with cultural misunderstanding and a healthy dose of the "we have to pretend we're married" cliche. I appreciate that it 'widens' the O.Z. a little too, exploring one of the various cultures it contains.


If there was one place in the wide and wonderful O.Z. to which Ambrose had never wished to return, it was the lands of the Eastern Guild. Specifically, it was to the hanging baskets that served as jail cells in the lands of the Eastern Guild.

And yet, that's exactly where he and Cain were, swinging in the breeze, trying to get it through the inhabitants' thick heads that they were Ambassadors and ought to be treated with respect. While the soldiers did take the papers they offered, they did not seem impressed by the ornate Queen's Seal enchanted to shine brightly on each one.

At least Ambrose wasn't tied up this time. Yet. Although being tied up might not be so bad if he and Wyatt were more than just friends, which they weren't, so really Ambrose needed to stop thinking of things like that.

For a full fifteen minutes their pleas fell on deaf ears, and then the soldiers simply walked away and left them hanging.
