What’s Rashid’s game? Why is he allowing this communication between Wylan and Darien? He can’t control this exchange, and more than desperation, it gives them hope... shouldn’t Rashid want to kill that hope?!

I drank my coffee... and still no new chapter yet! That's unusual - it's breaking my morning routine. ☕️

Well, it's war after all...someone has to die!

At least Stephen finally knows what a ‘coin’ is! 😂

It was always the same throughout history - the best were bleeding, suffering, and dying, while the worst came at the end to claim the victory and the glory.

And I thought Alex’s music wasn’t what Nate was really interested in - maybe he just has a thing for blowing instruments. 😜

Good to know that some things never change - whether in the past, another realm, or just an illusion!

"You're a knight. A real knight. The kind that the songs are written about. The kind that people remember." She punched his arm, hard enough to bruise, and turned toward the horses.

🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😂 Prince Ishan has (temporarily) lost his sight... Is he going to lose something else in that tent, with Darien's “help” and Wylan's blessing?! 😉

My little contribution to the club... this is how we drink it! 😁

The Middle Ages caused Europeans to lose much of the scientific and intellectual knowledge of antiquity, so many ideas had to be rediscovered through Arabic texts and scholarship. Darien was not just bringing a doctor to their camp; he was allowing Stephen to learn.

I didn't expect this story would take so many different and intriguing turns on its adventurous path. It's an amazing combination of historical facts, fiction, and magic. As for our heroes, this body swap is going to become one of the greatest lessons of their lives. Wylan can finally see, while Ishan can develop his other senses. In an era without the internet or modern media, they have the chance to learn about each other not merely as enemies, but as people shaped by different cultures, religions, and civilizations. Yes, it is going to be dangerous and tense... but it will be worth it, and it is going to make for an amazing read. I wake up every morning with such anticipation - your story comes before coffee (black, strong, Turkish coffee in the Balkans ☕ ). 🙂

The fact that Kent shared intimate details about his twin - things he hadn’t even shared with his therapist - says a lot about the level of his trust and maybe something more... Marvin receives the confession with such calm and understanding, without a hint of judgment, which is admirable.

I thought the honey would be enough to do the healing, but... Nevertheless, it was only a matter of time before someone else from their group noticed that Wylan... isn’t exactly Wylan. Julian is conflicted, but if these boys learned anything, they learned to see beyond... and far, much farther than their own king.

Well, saving someone from the Sura clan (probably a child), of course! Nothing inspires loyalty more than a personal example!

There’s some of an Agatha Christie atmosphere in the book...- 29 comments

The Princeps’s Inner Sanctum
Cane23 commented on Laura S. Fox's story chapter in The Princeps’s Inner Sanctum
I find this book by @Laura S. Fox the most difficult to comment on. The characters are so well disguised that any speculation might be wrong (or right). Usually, I can decide very quickly whether I “like” or “dislike” a character... here, besides Lawrence, everyone - starting with King Bastien himself - is still impossible to define.- 29 comments

I had a feeling that Ishan was going to survive. I’m just curious about this magical connection - will it remain even when they are thousands of miles apart, occupied with their own domestic affairs rather than this common war that both unites and separates them?
-
Sura Island and Lyria have a difficult history, full of blood and betrayal. Still, there seems to be no safer place for Yulin than this prosperous community, isolated from court intrigues and his ambitious grandfather. Paradoxically, in the coming months, this could become the safest place for Raithion’s children in the entire empire. Also, with Yulin recovering and Azula softening, life on this island could offer Raithion the most peaceful and restful days he has had after many years of commanding duties

Interesting chapter. This turn showed the main characters in a new light. Being able to see must have been an overwhelming experience for Wylan, but the possibility not only to see the enemy, but also to see his human side, is exceptional. The same goes for Ishan - at the moment when he could have used the situation to spread defeatism among the Crusaders, he instead chose to give them hope. Maybe a bit more enthusiastically than expected... still, it was hope. The connection between Ishan and Wylan is strong and unexplainable. I’m wondering, once the war is over and everyone returns home (assuming Ishan survives), will they stay connected?
-
I might be wrong, but I've sensed some hope in William's letter:
-
Once they reunite, they won’t discuss the past - who did what or with whom. The real question is how William sees the future. He might be willing to share, but I’m not sure Darien and, especially, Wylan are going to be happy about such an arrangement.
-
Great chapter - in the midst of siege, war, blood, mud, and magic, this chapter comes as a breath of fresh air. It’s interesting to get a glimpse into Darien’s childhood. Now, once they come back home and Darien brings Wylan with him, how is he going to handle William’s jealousy? 😁

I see pictures again! Btw, I've always imagined Stephen as Christian Slater in The Name of the Rose...
