BUT WHAT ARE WEIN’S GOALS?!

‘Not only was this was a period of unrest, but Natra was trying to make huge strides. If Zenovia became queen, her appointed role would not be a small one. She just didn’t believe in herself.’ Interesting. That makes a lot of sense. Wein does need someone who is both politically powerful and also very capable and confident. I vote Ninym!!

“We’re drunk on our power, but go back a few centuries, and you’ll find we were once commoners. That means commoners today have the potential to become nobility and royalty one day.” Ooh, very true.

We have a fun political situation yet again! I really appreciate how each book brings in new nations and rulers while also often building on old relationships. It makes for interesting situations and allows the series as a whole, with all its politics and battles, to pace itself very manageably. There’s no overwhelming world building.
