Well colour me intrigued! I thought it’d be Fitz going, not Verity, and not until the third book. A bit frustrated with Fitz’s inaction in this book tbh. Also wondering how the oarsman bit will fit in / become more important? But the plot is plotting, the political intrigue and all the little mysteries are just so darn captivating! But what has Chade been up to? And is Rosemary the spy? I’m over Molly tbh.

Ooh things are heating up! I think I know who regal’s spy is, if not his assassin. I think I know what happened to the coteries and the older generations too. But what really annoys me is everyone’s passivity/inaction, like things have been DIRE for so long and no one is DOING anything about any of it. Then again I suppose fitz is only a teenager, but still.

Phew I feel like so much more is happening in this book than in book one, which is great, bc it feels like the plot is plotting…and yet, objectively speaking I feel like there’s not actually that many “events” happening in this book lol. So odd that I feel like the pace has picked up so much and yet when I take a step back I’m like huh yeah still really not a lot going on here *shrugs*

I’m loving this so far. A lot more political maneuvering/intrigue/craftiness, which is not exactly the way I expected this story to go but is definitely keeping things interesting. And even better that it starts so much earlier on in this book (compared to the last book)

So far so good. Fitz is a bit too whiny and self-pitying at the start for my taste, but I suppose his feelings are quite justified lol and in any event he is just a teenager so I suppose it’s quite a realistic portrayal even if I found it a bit overdramatic
