rereading this⊠and man, does it make me so happy that calix has taken Shadow Roselyn as his sister as well. she may not be the roselyn he had grown with, but she is his sister all the same. it really subverts the troupe when an antagonist of a story is âwearing the skinâ of a character, and when itâs revealed everyone suddenly turns against them. sure, sheâs not evil/an antagonist but she is also âwearing the skinâ of the original rosalyn. i am glad they didnât turn their backs on her, and instead embraced her as her own person rather than the person who she inhabits.

theyâre all so messy. like claude is acting so shady, even with the context the readers know about him. the stepbrother, even if he has good intentions and deliberately takes a step back⊠itâs always so weird/gross for stepsiblings to be into each other. i really like leonard though, didnât expect to be such a big fan of him. just the casual skinship and intimacy thatâs not romantic or sexual? absolutely love that. although heâs a litter overbearing imo

what i wouldnât do to have the âtwistâ that theyâre NOT royalty. itâs always being a high ranking noble/royals child. why canât it for once be like⊠the kings best friend. or a famous knights daughter. i get the plot of putting them in a high power position suddenly⊠but its so common that even a few of the comments here had already predicted a connection with the human king.
