Status Updates From The Lions of Al-Rassan

God this is amazing story-telling. GGK jumps us through so many perspective changes in each chapter and yet I don't have difficulty picking up the tale from where the previous character's POV left off. And the sweep, the scope of it... Masterfully done.

It's hard to want to believe that I'm almost halfway through it already. This is one book I'm not going to want to put down when I've finished it.

Rereading because something has clicked and GGK has been hitting for me lately

I had forgotten how much I LOVE Miranda Belmonte. From her first introduction she's all over the page like 🔥! It's been so long since I first read this book that I do not remember her arc or what happens to her, but I remember enough of GGK's sadistic authorial tendencies not to hope overmuch for her HEA with Rodrigo.
