I only knew Briggs as the werewolf author, but this is such classic, solid fantasy. I'm enjoying the heck out of this!

Read about the Rape of Nanking and had to go to bed. We journey on.

Boyyyyy shit-talk Jiang in front of me ONE more time

It's been 24 hours! LEAVE HER ALONE!!

Aughghgh I hate when a character grows on me so but I sense they're being narratively fattened for the slaughter. KUANG PLEASE DON'T DO THIS TO ME

Widow Maung best character

We got to a battle!!

Whyyyy do characters keep walking up to Boudica and telling her what to do next. She has no ideas. She makes no decisions except to say yes to her underlings' ideas. She makes no progress without a man directing her first. All of this against a backdrop of her "uwu I don't know if I can lead..." while everyone assures her of course she can

I think what's annoying me about the supernatural elements is, like. Heaven forbid a woman do anything unless she's Chosen by the powers that be and given magic advantages.

Oh, huh! We're doing supernatural rather than historical?

I can't tell if it's the writing style or the first person POV or if Boudica really sounds young/simple in her narration

No more twins :(

It's not bad, it's just basic. Everyone has their One Struggle which is simply stated. I have known since his reappearance that the love interest without a POV is evil and the girl will end up realizing the love interest with a POV was great all along.

Ahh this is going to be a slog.

I do NOT think the king is wrong for pointing out that his knights sometimes have to do things they don't want to, and that's in fact the value of an oath of loyalty.

I understand why Six isn't asking about step two of this plan. This isn't her plan. She's along for her own ends. But I would VERY much like to know what step two is here

"If he wanted me to clap, he could die waiting." I have to be honest, I didn't think they made 'em like this anymore. I love her

Okay! Okay! Let's go on a gothic adventure!

Six is still my favorite. The gargoyle is growing on me pretty fast, and Rory may yet be somethin

Wishing this girl so much luck with her atheist weed-smoking man

That's! My girl!!!

This author has to stop breaking my heart over characters with names like Ugly Jon and Moaner

From here on out, it's the Amaya cut (I stop reading not-Frollo's POV)

NOT THE FESTIVAL OF FOOLS BEING ABLEIST

I am eating this UP. Realistic warfare? Monstrous elves? Interesting fresh religions? A soldier protag who is in over her head and full of dread but trying to do her best??

The triple psychic blast of 1) the author including a written out playlist for the book, 2) the setting being Vermont, and 3) not-Frollo being implied to be gay, possibly because that's just how much he hates women

To me, Robin McKinley and Diana Wynne Jones are related, in that it's impossible to say where you are in the story. Magnifiqué
