I enjoyed the writing style so much. The plot felt like it was fast in terms of the timeline at points but was also slow in developing the plot. I didn’t mind though because I was happy to hear the way Hadrian was telling the story. The juxtaposition of Hadrian’s present POV and his past POV is really interesting in a Princess Irulan from Dune type of way but instead of giving away the plot of the chapter, Hadrian is giving away the whole arc. I am very much looking forward to seeing the journey unfold.
