Ever instalment so far has been a hit. The only reason this is not a full 5 stars to me is because it's outsider POV so everything is a bit more convoluted and you don't get the undiluted yearning and pining that's happening between the king and queen. I would love to have seen their private conversations and discussions. That being said Costis is amazing and I wouldn't give him up for the world.
