War all the time...
Oh, sorry, not a quote from this book or series, although it could be.
& now the children are at it...The children of all the warriors & whiners from the previous books are now playing at war, or politics, & creating their own secrets, & battling with swords & whining/wining, or doing the real work while the fighting happens, & uncovering their parents secrets...
Most of their parents are still alive, most are taking a back seat to the younger generation, & we see how they handle this.
I've heard so much about Savine when people talk about "morally grey female characters done right" & "women written well by men" that my expectations were high for her, & I'm seriously disappointed that no one told me about Rikka - she's the standout character for me so far.
I accidentally skipped Sharp Edges? Ends? But I don't feel like I'm missing any information. I'll get back to it.
“Who comes up with these ridiculous names?” “Writers, I daresay."
"That’s what growing up is, maybe. Realising what a fucking arse you’ve been."
