Status Updates From Traitor (A Crown of Lilies,...

The beginning of the book is so slow I almost gave up because of not being in the mood for recollected tell-with-some-show, but I knew I loved it for a reason and that reason is the political stuff at the end where you know it's all coming crashing down. Serious Marilia the Warlord vibes, only Elivya's not so martial

Wonderful book, just taking me forever to read it...

An epic read already! I love the headstrong tomboy main character. It's actually really fun to follow Elivya as she navigates court life and how to be the only child (a daughter no less) of a influential and well known Lord.

I thought I was getting bored of the "girl heiress who wants to do everything a guy can do plus have a wild love life" YA trope 30% ago because it was a little slow to start. But dang, it's veering off in an interesting way. Like not drawing out the will-they won't-they, the love interest not being a raging ass who doesn't deserve the MC, and the heiress actually having awesome narration. Politics! Mystery! Mmm.
