I just keep coming back to how many stories paint emotional bonds and empathy as a weakness that a protagonist must overcome, but it’s all the Herald’s greatest strengths and especially Thalia’s. This is a great book for someone with relational trauma who wants to see a world where love and vulnerability is a priceless asset instead of something to destroy in yourself

having to mindlink with your horse while he gets some horseussy is crazy work never change

I do love the imagining of a monarchy run by and protected by truly good empathetic people
