Your gateway to endless inspiration
Let me just add to this that I did the unspeakable and spoiled myself before I read the book. I coincidentally stumbled upon Laurent’s wiki page and his character was so intriguing I ended up reading the books some time later. I had definitely caught the words ‚abuse‘ and ‚uncle‘ while skimming the wiki yet when I first read book 1 I was super reluctant to believe the regent was the uncle in question. The court scene was what finally convinced me that I hadn’t misread anything but if I were to guess I wouldn’t have realised anything at all if I hadn’t spoiled myself. It’s amazing how pacat managed to completely switch the roles the regent and Laurent occupy in the narrative for both, Damen and the reader
I always forget how long Damen trusted the Regent over Laurent 😬
