Well, and then there's that moment where Caspia and Andreas goes to their like little side quest in the chasm.

And I was like, is this girl about to leave the castle?

And her and Odessa have not met yet.

I was so livid.

And now on a reread, I'm like, got it, got it, got it.

LOL.

So I was actually convinced from pretty much the get-go of like chapter three, maybe chapter five,

that they were sisters.

And Caspia's mother went to Calandra and had an affair with the king or something like that, and then shifted back into a swift and flew home to Nelphinex.

But no, after 90% of this book, I was not even quiet.

I was all caps, so annoyed, but like in a fun, annoyed way where it was like, oh my God, just fucking meet already your sisters.

You need to meet each other per brother score saying you need to meet the warrior, meh.

And then we get the reveal.

And I was taken so by surprise the way that chapter just slaps you in the face with Margo and then the baby and then him being the king and her being the queen.

And the way that chapter is done is so masterful.

And then how she's stabbed by Andreas.

And he's still holding her two days later.

I'm covered in chills right now.

Like that was so beautiful.

I was weeping like a small child.
