Status Updates From The Executioner's Song

This is all going to hell in a hand basket.

Had to start keeping notes in my journal about the timeline in this book, especially since I dont know anything about who this main person is. I'm learning of him as I go, which the writer of the foreword says is a good thing for this book, but at the same time, there are so many things happening at once that I've had to take notes on who this man is to keep track.

Why does every woman in this book have a crush on her cousin?
