Another detail in "Prince's Gambit" I am thinking about today is the fact that in the battle near Ravenel Damen was really, REALLY almost killed by Lord Touars, who was aiming for his neck - but missed, scratching the golden collar.
So the collar, a sign of Damen's enslavement, of horrible cruelty that was done to him, actually saved his life.
I think it's beautifully metaphoric, a lot to think about. This book never stopes amazing me.
