Status Updates From The Wandering Queen: A Nove...

Okay so she’s finally doing stuff. Thank god her husband died so she’d actually do something. I’m hoping her scrap metal thing is a cool plan, because it’ll be the first evidence of her alleged wiles that the narrative insists she has.

I’m starting to get very irritated with this passive ass character. She will do things here and there like bend an arrow and speak up but she always regrets it, and will ultimately never move unless some dude compels her to. Is the formidable leader in the room with us? I better see some upwards motion soon…

Currently at the halfway point and lemme tell u, I don’t give a gaf about the Carthage POV I keep wishing it would go back to Tyre…

Also! I get that she loves her husband and all but like a real man would support his wife’s morally gray ambition like lock in bro.

why is she so confused about her people's reactions to her and Aeneas? does she not remember anything that's happened to her? clearly she doesn't listen to her inner monologue, which oddly enough talked about why she always had to be on her guard, bc she'd always be a woman first not their queen. wtf happened to that? GIRL YOU'VE BEEN AWOL AND ARE NOW SHOWING UP TO PETITION HEARINGS WITH THE TROJAN PRINCE-

"Aeneas was staying. He loved her enough for that, and she loved him enough to drop her heart in his hands."
GIRL- How long does she deadass think he's gonna stay for?

"The two of them had gone into the woods together, so why should Aeneas be the catcher and she the thing to be caught?"
GIRL WHERE TF DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? Did you deadass forget that this could be a possibility?

typo should be "gotten" instead of "got"

"She knew now that in their eyes - and in her own heart - Aeneas had become her husband."
Girl...that's a little much. Does he share that, too? And even so, it just seems a little fast honestly, just given the vow she'd taken

I like Elissa/Dido, but come on

I'm sorry, but she knows where Cyprus is in relation to Tyre. Did she DEADASS need essentially a rando to tell her that her brother could harass her if not just drag her back to Tyre?
Are we serious?
