Thanks for commenting! I agree with you on many things, including how sulky the MCs were, especially Po. And I loved Katsa's relationship with Butterblue!

Some of the names of places and people were a bit ridiculous sounding.

I definitely thought a lot of the kingdom names were dumb, uncreative, and generic.

Raffin and Bann were gay for each other, right?

Wait, really? I didn't pick up on that at all but it would be really cool if true! I wonder how mad that would make Randa...

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply!

I don't know for sure that they were gay, I think it was just vibes. Raffin and Bann spent a lot of time together, they both laughed when Katsa asked if Raffin was in love with her, neither of them had other love interests and I think at one point Katsa talked about how they'd thought about marrying each other for convenience? We know Katsa didn't want to marry, but why would Raffin want to marry someone he doesn't think of in that way? Raffin's relationship with Randa also seemed really strained, and Randa didn't approve of a lot of things he did. I'm wondering if he got vibes too? Giddon never seemed jealous of Raffin either even though Katsa was close with him and probably more affectionate towards him than any other man before she knew she loved Po.

I'm going to read Bitterblue at some stage, so if you are as well, let me know so we can discuss it!

...I assumed Giddon was never jealous of Raffin because he and Katsa were cousins, but given that is apparently not a social barrier to marriage in this society (since they discussed a possible marriage of convenience), you may well be right.

As I said I'm in favor of this development! Now I wish I'd picked up on it myself.
