Yara continues being my total runaway fav

We all have our faves! Yara definitely is really enjoyable to read about, and she’s probably the one who is written the most consistently

in my rewrite of Principesse certain things would happen:

-The “wise king” would just not be there. Just not at all.

-The queen and Diamante would both get actual personalities.

-Kalea is a lesbian and Naehu is gay I’m here for that Kalea/Thiare and Naehu/Kaliq content

-Canon bisexual disaster nameless prince 

-every antagonist is allowed to actually try to do evil things instead of just talking about how evil they are and maybe fucking up a little bit of shit

-bigger populations? how few people are in this world

-more realistic travel and timelines

-how does the royal family tree work? I’m gonna fucking figure it out

-PREGNANT NIVES

some things would stay the same:

-Mai Nominata’s emotional abuse and control over the witches, and also the witches being sabotaged by their own pasts

-the fact that the princesses often lose in these battles because not every kid’s book has to work out every time (props to Tea for that)

Okay so this one doesn’t follow as logically as usual but Etheria was defeated by the queen trying to protect Nives who still isn’t quite her old self (I suppose in some ways it does make sense – since she didn’t choose to become a witch, perhaps she always wished someone had been there to protect her?)

and Mai Nominata just did the boring thing and chucked Samah in the dungeon. But we still have three more books to get through so who knows what will happen!

We’ll come back to this on Monday with Strega della Cenere. And maybe Nives will actually get to do something!
