I am sorry if you have to see this. I guarantee my updates would have spoilers.
But here we have Eldyn squaring his noble-but-fallen-upon-hard-times shoulders and asking for Ms Walpert's hand in marriage (poor Ms Walpert had been treated so badly by this novel, sorry she's so coarse and unrefined 🙄), but then before Eldyn could even bring the subject of marriage up he sees Westen. I mean.

I like Book Two a lot because it's all in Ivy's POV, which is the stronger of the three. (Rafferdy's is the strongest imo.) There's probably an homage to Turn of the Screw, but I don't remember enough of that to be sure.

Is that 'corset bad' talk I see? In a book that has Regency type clothing in the cover?? 🤣 Really??
(Not that corsets are bad. There are so many clothes historians who would tell you that's all just a lie, they're simply historical bras or shape wear. But the Regency era style dress doesn't even call for small waists?? What's even happening here.)

So I can finally read the 3rd book of this and thought now is a great time to reread the series. Oh boy, on this page Westen finally speaks to Eldyn and you know what. Eldyn remains the weakest link in the trio of POVs we have. Thanks for being a snob and thinking you're too fine to work like any other peasant, Eldyn. Imagine having to work for a living!

Maybe so. Maybe I also like Westen and what he stands for better than any of these complacent little snobs. 'Be gay, do crimes' but only safe crimes that don't rock the status quo. We don't want to challenge rich people that badly. After all, we want to be them. 🙄🙄
I swear to god I'll talk about technical stuff at some point, because I hate when people attack the story too much while ignoring the skills it took to present the story. But this is not that day.
