About those first 3 chapters (spoilers)
I speculate . . . I celebrate . . . I congratulate those with more willpower who haven’t read the sample chapters on Apple Books yet, but I really want to get my thoughts and feelings out, and no one else has started a thread, so let’s talk.

(1) So, the sister, Marin, (NAME ALERT). For some reason I always thought she'd be a good character. Being that she married against her father's wishes and didn't seem to be aligned with him... but Hamiathe's Gift on a cracker! She is evil!
In retrospect, this makes sense. If Dite is the good one, and Sejanus is the not quite evil one, we must have an actual evil one. She married her father's rival to spite him, and is just like him. I hope Gen steals all of her earrings.
(2) I can't be the only who chocked when they learned that Pigeon is Eurondite's and Susa's grandson. YIKES!
(3) I'm glad we have a name for Pheris, but I also don't want to call him by that, because it's also his grandfather's name... so... yuck. If it's all the same, I shall call him my darling, Pigeon.
(4) I'm 99.9999% sure Gen know about Pigeon's disability and planned this whole thing. I mean... he had to know Eurondite's would pull this trick. Costis is FROM this same barony.
I'm guessing Gen knew this is the only way they'd let him "have" an Eurondite and a Susa heir.
(5) I see Hilarion, the long-suffering, has returned. Philo, my dear, you win best attendant!
I actually missed the attendants a lot. They're so stupid, but also so funny.
(6) Why do I have this feeling that every time Gen looks at Pigeon, he is just like... this is my son. Look how he takes after me. XD
(7) "Tell them I died" Oh my god... Gen is such a mood.
I am so proud of the attendants for getting the king out of bed. THEY HAVE LEARNED!

"Tell them I died" was especially funny/groan-worthy to me when I realized he's getting ready for the ceremony in which Sophos will pledge his country to Attolis. Gen still feels bad about annexing the others!!
Also I don't like jokes about Gen dying. D:

See character list and the table of contents for her name.

Me neither. It's getting a little too real. When I read that, I was like... GEN! LOLZ! As I was typing it, I was like... *frantically knocks on wood*

Maybe “Eugenides take your earrings” or “May Attolis swipe your earrings”? Or “Do that again, and your earrings be annexed!”

It also showed that Gen wasn’t looking forward to becoming the high king.

The "Don't annoy the queen." line also got a laugh. XD
