How are these people stocking up their pantry with all this food but never bothered setting up proper bedding? And how come with all this magic, they haven’t come up with a match pair to heat up water for bathing?

I’m starting to be annoyed at the way Letty is portrayed. I guess this is why most books involve a trio and not one person more. Letty is described as either too stiff and strict or too sensitive and temperamental. Not sure if this is plot-related or just a bad characterisation. We’ll see when we get to the end.

Everyone’s going to Macau but me 🥲

Portugal mentioned 🤭
