I was a bit torn about one scene, but this last passage truly made me lose any pity for Deidameia:
"Later, I almost convinced myself it had not happened, that it had been a vivid dream, drawn from his descriptions and too much imagination. But that is not the truth."

Thetis is the cause of this, but Deidameia still did what she did - she raped him!

There is nothing like riding your sensei to go to school.

This book is so hard to put down!
World-building is very brief; I still cannot pinpoint what time period the empire is based on - ancient china dynasty? Western? Anyway, the art of Forgery, which is the main focus of the story, is very well-explained and has managed to get me hooked!!

Nancy is ... irritating, but I understand her completely. Is Michael's reaction normal? Is he judging her? Would he leave her if she told him about her past before they wed? This is the 80s... but not all men were so shallow. But you can never know.

And how would *I* react to such news about my partner?

Chapter 15 was an emotional roller coaster of a chapter. Nancy's bravery in seeking for Jane, despite the snide from, ironically, various women. The police raid... shit was scary and rage-inducing. I can't believe there used to be a time like this. I wish to be like these strong women.

What's a mythology retelling without some tragedy, huh?

What the fuck is wrong with these Atreidai brothers, dude?
