How did it get this late?

This book just keeps getting wierder!

Lucie was also about men dissatisfied with their lot in life seeking adventure and attracted you younger beautiful women . I wonder why this is something female authors write? something

Well at least that was resolved quite quickly and motivation was not what it seemed but rather manipulation of a parent's love... But the whole thing of the manipulative teenage girl *sigh*

Stories are dangerous things, the build narratives of how the world works in our minds. Which is why stories of young women manipulating older men out of spite (because of a romantic rejection) is so problematic. It's such a harmful trope, that make people in real life less likely to trust the world of young women. And it's a very gendered narrative, it's simply not one told with the genders reversed.

This is quite interesting. I find that alternative Scandinavias is something that holds my mind quite well

I need to go to bed but I don't partially want to
