Status Updates From Rosalynd

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.
