Given all the trigger warnings at the start of the book I’m surprised there wasn’t one for domestic abuse. The description of what happened to Ransom’s mom is pretty graphic

Wait hang on. If the royal family has been using body doubles for a century as SOP wouldn’t people know about it? This isn’t like Naboo where the queen wears heavy face paint. People would notice that the “prince” is suddenly a completely different guy. So Ransom saying almost nobody knows about Zavier being a fake is BS

Even if Zavier hid the vial of blood, the signature would still have been green. This doesn’t hold up

Isn’t Banner a general? Why is his specialty throwing daggers? That’d be almost useless on a battlefield

The idea of maps being totally banned in Turah feels ridiculous but I guess societies without written language navigate their territory just fine…

Jesus Christ is she still jealous of Saria? The woman died!

The scale on the map is a lot smaller than I realized if Treow and Ashmore are only a days ride apart

We’re almost halfway through the book and only now is Odessa trying to be a proactive instead of passive protagonist
