I love the subtext woven in about sex work and survival. Coriolanus is so jealous and possessive of the women in his life that even the briefest hint of the topic and he’s changing the conversation.

The pacing is a bit slower in this one vs the others in the series. I don’t mind it though, especially on reread and knowing what to expect.

First time rereading this one. Curious if my thoughts will have changed.

Huh. I truly have no idea what to make of this.

I am actually loving this.

Really engaging so far. I have no idea where this is going and I couldn’t be happier about it.
