Absolute banger of an idea to have the exact words of a prophecy coming true being the key to open something that's locked. Love it.

"He also gave her the absolute freedom to do as she wished, and she used that freedom to gain information about Wolf Hall's secret passages. There was one conveniently located in her room."

1. Yes, very convenient, thank you for pointing it out
2. She has been here for a week and a half. You're telling me a stranger within these palace walls immediately knows of the ✨ secret passages? ✨ THEN THEY AREN'T VERY SECRET?

These chapter sizes wtf. I just had a chapter span a page and a half???? There's fast paced storytelling and then there's zipping through it at the blink of an eye 😩

Also the writing is being heavy handed about Marisol. "There is no way she would betray me/hurt me, but I still can't help but worry..." If Marisol betrays her, I'm docking a star. Like I'd rather she didn't at this point just as a surprise.

I really like the setting for this so far
