honestly i could’ve put everyone in the bottom section

Undercover Princess - Chapter 4

This chapter is pretty much straight up exposition and lore dumping but i respect how its done.

The Houses:

This chapter for whatever reason always felt a little bit off to me, like in the way some of them act. The whole thing with Lottie saying the full name of the whole just feels unnecessary. We already know how out of place she feels, can we give her a win please?

BUT I do really like that we are introduced to the houses not by what all the houses are and mean. It's not oh conch is brave and determined and ivy is... etc

Its focused around the students and the environment.

we see that Conch students can be confident and overbearing at times, but when Ani goes off to the conch building, she meets Saskia, and i love that that shows the warmth that conch students have too - They're passionate and resolute about their beliefs

Can you tell I'm a lil bit biased?

Stratus students are resourceful, which we learn with the merlin falcon statue. Elwin? I swear its called Elwin. But that stratus students can get carried away with their thoughts.

Ivy students, being the righteous group, we can already see in how Lottie interacts with Rosewood, wanting to make the world better but also believing in their morals like how Lottie slams the door to wake up her roommate because she thinks shes in the right?

Each house has good and bad qualities and I like how its shown rather than told.

The dorm:

I want that dorm

I mean I'm glad i never had to share a room at uni in dorms, but it sounds so big and pretty and ugh. LIKE A BALCONY??? gimme

Ivy is the oldest of the three dorms, so it makes sense to be the furthest but it still has some familiarity to lottie. It's like the bakery.

Ryley is terrifying and I'll never forgive Connie for A. not elaborating on why a deer is for Ivy. and B. NOT SHOWING US THE CONCH BEAR STATUE AT ANY POINT (Please correct me if im wrong because i'm upset and would like to be wrong.)

Professor Devine being equated to a fairy godmother is so... ugh i love this book and its lil foreshadowing moments.

And of course... They were Roommates

OH MY GOD THEY WERE ROOMMATES

I'll never forgive lottie for slamming the door to wake p Ellie I also wouldve immediately picked a fight if my roommate did that after I had travelled internationally across the world for the first time ever
