the concept of same sex relationships being something that is relatively recently acceptable but older generations are more old fashioned and set in their ways and disapproving… is so interesting… like did this fantasy country just have a whole queer rights movement in the past 30 years or so? (now THAT is a novel concept i can get behind lol)

actually i don’t think this has fully been thought through (shockingly) because how does this interface with the whole “first born nobles are cursed and secondborns are blessed with magic” the logic of which still does not really make sense even after the crash course we just had

this dog is growing like supernaturally fast but cerise seems to think it is totally unremarkable which is. weird. i will bet $100 this dog is secretly part unicorn or something

lol no this is not actually very good (love the scene where they’re like “how would we break the curse? oh let’s immediately realise and then crack the code in this journal left behind by the previous Seer, great we have all the answers right away, let’s go tomorrow” lmao) but you know what it is? sufficiently engaging to keep me entertained

hopefully this is the book that brings me back
from this reading slump (that being said i did just see it has a very mid average rating… nevertheless we persevere)
