Ahhh, palace life, how wonderful.
NOT.
Palace life in this book seems horrible compared to, say, Swordcatcher.
But perspectives have aligned, and friends reunite.

Chapters 15-21:
The adventure squad is growing, and I’m having a really great time learning about the existing characters (specifically Wirr).
Asha’s perspective… ehhhhhhh. It’s okay. I’m sure it gets better.

Chapters 1-7:
Easy introduction. I’m very much enjoying Islington’s writing style.
MC seems pretty skittish and nervous. Which is interesting as a lot of MC’s are quite confident.
