The angst is angsting. I hate, hate Morough. Kaine is a dick. Honestly the only character I like so far is Helena.

Okay, while the story is quite gripping it's quite hard to understand whom is whom, and which people belongs to which fraction, bring back glossaries and family trees as an addition to books. Overall, it's a little confusing but the mystery is what keeps me going.

At the second solstice party in the flashbacks, theres a camera described as a "large intricate box hanging from (character's) neck" she fiddles with lenses a bit, then the box clicks and flashes. I'm assuming its an electric flash, and while I'm no expert I'm pretty sure electric flash cameras weren't invented until the 1920s. I know this isnt a one to one irl historical fiction, its fantasy, but that just doesn't fit with the beginning of the industrial revolution time period. This would imply photography being a very important part of their society for it to be developed so quickly, and this is the first mention of a camera.

Did anyone else notice this? Theres been one or two things i noticed before that seemed to be a decade or two before they were invented irl, but that i can easily suspend disbelief because its fantasy. 150 years, not so much!

Can’t stop picturing Rory as Criston Cole from House of the Dragon and it’s ruining ITTT😭😭😭
