Why does this book start at page 265? Its not a big thing, but its annoying me tremendously 😭

I haven't felt present in my own life in years. After a discussion with my fiancée, we agreed we could try to use books to get rid of this brainfog. (And i guess, depersonalisation, at least in my case)

Do you guys have any experience with doing this? Intentionally or unintentionally. If so, will any sort of book do? I figured its best to put phones aside and stimulate the mind.. and most of all, just enjoy each other's company. Do you believe listening will also help? My fiancée likes to read for me.

I know it might not help at all, but I do at least wish to try.

PSA: Just saw a post from the author on YouTube - she has rewritten all her books that have any spice and changing them to fade to black. There has been mixed messaging on if it's going to impact people who already purchased the eBook versions so I figured I would post a heads up here just in case. If you want to purchase the original books, I think you only have until 9/1/26 to do so. I think this is her most popular one but it applies to her other books, I just don't wanna spam this across the different forums.

Jon and Tyrion's conversation is one of the few things I remember from when I read this as a teen. The both of them were of my favourites back then. I cannot say if they will stay this way, but for now they are very relatable to me as a disabled person.. Not Tyrion alone, but Jon's bastard status too. I have missed this world so much.
