The Privilege of the Sword by Ellen Kushner
4.0
more riverside!
katherine's progression was amazing. her inability to understand her role in society and her want to stay in dresses and drop the sword to her understanding of how women were treated and standing up to the male dominance that plagued the nobles and training to be fluent in the sword!
and i know i loved her journey and though her character was shady sometimes, she really flourished under richard st. vier. no surprise there.
katherine's and alec's views of richard are vastly different, and i think that katherine sometimes understands richard better than alec does. but alec really tries and although he has the emotional caring avuncular capacity of a rock, we can see that at least he tried.
why didn't we get more time with richard and alec? of course we want more of them; they're the stars of riverside and this whole series.
