Status Updates From True Crown - Der Mantel des...

I’m so happy that all the servants have come up with some sort of solution. Even if Lady Culver suffers somewhat for it, a win is a win. We can’t make everyone happy.

Yikes that was a very swift and impersonal proposal. And Effie said yes without a second thought?! WITH Lord Blackthorn right next to her mind you. So what’s her plan? Just live with those rose around her neck? Benedict doesn’t even know anything about her. All they’ve done together is talk about what *he* is interested in. This match is ass (I know it’s intentionally ass but still).

TREMENDO LIBROOO LO AMO YA CANSENSE

wtf is happening? Is my dude Lord Blackthorn getting jealous and territorial over Effie??

Also, WHAT DOES HE EVEN LOOK LIKE?! I’m imagining an old grey wizard-type, but then there’s lingering glances and tummy flutters and I get the ick because wdym she’s starting to get feelings for an old wizard dude?? He must be younger??

yo no se pero yo amo a lord blacklorh

Yo no se que tiene esta autora pero ella escribe demasiado bien

Loving it so far. Benedict is honestly kind of nothing burger in comparison to Jubilee it’s insane. Even the tulip dude Effie was dancing with is more interesting than Benedict at this point, but I digress. Lowkey smiled when Lady Culver started baying like a donkey thanks to Blackthorn. Public humiliation as a punishment for private cruelty is always a wonder.

Juniper Jubilee is an insane name I love it. Ugh I already love everything about this. I’m glad they met so early on and wow am I loving Effie’s decision making. She knows she’s gonna cry so she tells someone to fill in for her while she goes out to do it alone. She is tempted by Blackthorn’s offer and yet takes a breath and decides that it’s best not to take it. She’s just a very reasonable lady.

Literally just finished Half a Soul. It was really good and this is the book that I originally wanted to read anyway (on account of a Reddit comment saying that the male lead was very eccentric). Come to find out he’s Lord Blackthorn?! I’m hyped. So hyped I made a Hoopla account just so I wouldn’t have to wait weeks to make a hold on Libby. I’m locked in.
