Status Updates From Rosalynde or, Euphues' Gold...

bro you’re telling me that celia (using shakespeare’s names) falls in love with oliver because he saves her from being literally kidnapped and sold as a sex slave????? will my guy that’s a wild thing to leave out

unbelievably obsessed with this introduction, I think all books should start with an authors note that says essentially: “I worked really hard on this and put a lot of thought into this and if you come into MY book being a judgmental know-it-all to critique something you don’t even know the first thing about, i’ll grab a rusty pole and shove it where the sun don’t shine. everyone else, love u xoxo”

ROSANDER DROP EVERYTHING NOW MEET ME IN THE POURING RAIN

OMG ROSADER ''with his eyes full of fire'' I love him

This is very very boring

There are long (predictable) speeches about the fickleness of fortune and woes of exile, which do not mesh well with a fantastical plot -- this is a touch tedious.

So far a very straightforward narrative -- like a longer and more fleshed-out Decameron story. Only thorny bit: how Rosalynd's gender-swap changes her attitudes towards women. More on this later.
