Things really got dramatic. So much more drama than I’m used to reading. I’ve finally settled down on my weird British accent impressions. The lady I’m reading it too said, “I don’t think she should marry him. Nope. Not at all.” And that basically summarizes this entire section. As usual, the writing is superb, though.

The characters have settled and the drama is super interesting. I like how they’re realistic and flawed. The lady I’m reading this book aloud to is also very invested in the story. She quite likes it a lot. I have fun doing half-British half-American-Southern accents while I read it.

Started reading this because I volunteer at a hospice center, and the lady I’m providing companionship for wanted to read an Agatha Christie novel she hadn’t read before. So I went down her bibliography, reading out the titles. When I read this title aloud, she wanted me to read this one. Funnily, it was a subject matter she could relate to. We both liked it very much.

this section is much better than the second quarter of this book

what a masterpiece of a political and military drama

god this book is so good

Harrow’s sudden switch in characterization makes me partially sad because it really does feel like it’s going to fall into the stereotypical trope of tsundere love interests

Interesting world-building. Gideon isn’t a narrator I usually enjoy, but it’s interesting nonetheless

Not a huge fan of the climax resolution

Loving the world building
