I can't believe I didn't read it for a whole 3 months. this is SO FUN
I am so shipping Elspeth and Ravyn (obviously)
oh ok one gripe I have with this book is the names!!! the author LOVES putting y's in places where they shouldn't go! like why do we have an Alyx, a Jespyr, a Ravyn, and a Petyr; if those names exist in a normal version!!! that is one thing I will not get over. don't try to quirkify regular names pls!

...and pretty healthy kingdom, nothing to improve on as the book goes on.
also at first I was kinda disappointed that the protagonist's love interest is the kings housing (and not son) but I have to assume all Rowans will have to die at the end, so that will make it much better (rip Elm tho, even though he's annoying, he is on the good side of this)

ok ok I LOVE the fact that it's Ravyn that's the Captain and not the Prince, and the fact that he's better at combat (even though Hauth uses the Black Horse).
I think this should be a rule in fantasy kingdoms. that princes can't be the highest ranking officials. that would teach them a little humility and disperse the power not to just the royal family. but I guess that would make a pretty good and pretty healthy....
