Ok, so. I was pretty hard on Caspian in the first book, and he still needs all the therapy, but early on in this book - yikes, that history with Nathaniel. I read that as, Caspian was essentially emotionally abused by a man who was busy convincing Caspian that he was the one doing all the damage. That is… a lot. Even if it were just that, these two have a long uphill road to get to a healthy relationship.
And then I got to the end of this book, the other shoe dropped, and I was absolutely floored. No wonder this man behaves like an asshat. Nathaniel’s judgment and attitudes were just the worst possible latest additions to the trash heap of abuse and self-blame. At this point everything hurts, and I'm just in, please let this end well territory.

It was actually shaping up to be a fairly nice evening. Not exactly warm because, y'know, England, but the sky was swirly blue and a pale silver orb was hanging in it. I'd seen pictures of such a thing on the internet and I think it was the sun.
