Book club read yaaaayyyyyyyy!!! It's interesting so far, it's definitely exploring themes of patriarchy and the empowerment/disempowerment of women. I am eager to see how she will withstand the concubine training. A lot of plant metaphors. Dont really like the whole 'planting' thing as a euphemism for impregnantion but it makes sense given the world-building. I wonder if the feared heir is as cruel as the rumors say

Walkin' and readin'. Poor Pima. Wren is a Real One, luv u girl, laundering that ink smell out. Also damn Wei....you exacted punishment. I can see why Terren's inhumaness suddenly seems palatable when you yourself are treated inhumanly. Also... 'borrowed from the future'?? And taking on dragon alone? These emperors/soon to be emperors are wildin out in Azalea House

Oh the prince is cruel...as expected....Wei is navigating so much as the Empress in Waiting. I wonder if the Prince will be shown to be different than his cruelty? Some stories turn out that way (MMC becomes caring), because the killing spell is talked of as a love poem. I almost wonder if Wei will fall in love and write that poem, bu lt struggle to cast it if she loves him..
