ma’am. ma’am. top 5 koa moments i want 2 go feral
ok let's go fucking feral!
it's been 6 years since i first read this book and i still can't believe it opens with some dumbass named costis punching gen squarely in the face and then gen gets him drunk, chats him up about life down on the farm and makes him his personal bodyguard. i mean just imagine being costis in this situation. imagine trying to process this.
phresine telling gen a bedtime story, tucking him in and kissing his forehead is. well it's intolerably tender is what it is
chapter 12. it's.....good.
"wrong arm, dear" and a discussion regarding ten gold cups
costis going up on the palace roof to retrieve the drunk king who, to his surprise and neverending frustration, is his king and he would willingly do anything for him (and then coming back down again with a disturbing new knowledge of the gods that he did not ask for and does not want) was lichraly life-changing. it's unreal to me that someone wrote this. mwt deserves a nobel peace prize, an oscar and nasa funding.
