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.)

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.

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!
