Wounds that send a Queen outside to be sick.
A Queen whose minister lends assurances.
A writer who gives the reader every tiny essence of his characters.

From the end of chapter Gudrun’s Example, Raith promises Queen Skara:

“Every good killer needs someone to kill for.”

He is a very good killer to be so young.

From the chapter titled Deals, because young Queen Skara is a deal maker if there ever was one:

“The world is full of monsters, after all. Perhaps the best one can hope for is to have the most terrible on your side.”

From the chapter Monsters:
(Young Queen Skara speaks; Owd is her borrowed minister)

“I used to think the world had heroes in it. But the world is full of monsters, Sister Owd.” She turned away from the dead, back toward Bail’s Point. “Perhaps the best we can hope for is to have the most terrible of them on our side.”

That’s a girl after my own heart.

Gotta stop and take a breath.
My favorite character has been killed by the worst of the worst.
If you’ve read Martin’s Game of Thrones, you know the feeling.
You get attached and the writer puts the dagger right in your heart.
It’s the price you pay when you read great epics.💔
