She’s now 17, so he’s 26. Still yikes. But I so badly want to ignore that because the writing is better than average (half a soul HA). Just rolled my eyes at “his voice was like a sword hidden within its scabbard”… what does that even mean? Is his voice muffled? Deadly but not deadly? I have no idea

Still enjoying overall, we’re at ages 18 & 27. She’s very much “not like other girls” - doesn’t brush her hair or care about clothes and has zero friends (aside from a kitchen maid we’ve seen 3x). she gets gifted a gown & goes nude under it, even tho women wear undergarments. Starting to notice odd language like “wearing…upholstered scarves,” “his trust was like an offering to gods long extinct”

I really like it and the fleshed out world and characters…but I’m trying so hard to not be annoyed that our characters are beginning this book with her being 14 and him 23. Yes she turns 15 early on and by 25% she is 16…but come. On. We see her go through puberty and he’s a full blown adult already.
