also i read original slash from times to times
Thoughts of Kings Rising
1- I kind of think it is a mistake to include Laurent PoV chapters, structurally speaking, since it's only two chapters and it doesn't really add any important plot information we don't get latter (I think?); besides the fanservice of getting Laurent PoV. Then again, the whole series is pretty much fanservice, so... heh
2- I guess the Erasmus backstory ended up foreshadowing Jokaste... huh (deliberate or just Cat liking those tropes? Or both?)
3- VINDICATION #Laurent knew
4- See that's how you do a sexy marriage ceremony (what do you mean alliances between kinds do not count?) I think this is now my favourite ceremony of marriage besides the Patryn rituals.
5- There were a few points where I thought the plot was descending into ridiculousness. On the other hand it was always delightful so... heh :D
6- wow I did turned up in thanked commenters at the end!! That's pretty nice since as far as I remember my only comment on livejournal was a little side discussion about the name "Nicaise" and whether it sounded like "Salade Niçoise" o_o
7- we never found out the Regent's name, did we? XD
