the thing about rereading gtn is you realize how well the perspective works in terms of keeping things a mystery on account of gideon’s absolutely clueless himbo brain:

she talks about how rigid and unnatural harrow’s parents are as puppets, meets protesilaus and describes how rigid and unnatural he is in the exact same way, and her only analysis is “well i bet i can take him in a fight”

she zones out right as abigail starts talking to cytherea about communication between the original lyctors (which obviously has major implications) and calls it “boring”

she doesn’t realize corona’s facade even when corona demonstrates MULTIPLE TIMES in front of gideon that she’s incapable of doing typical necromancer things AND ianthe explicitly refers to herself as the singular necromancer of the third to gideon

palamedes also points out that gideon should know how many keys are left in play and she DOESNT because she just hasn’t been paying attention or bothered keeping count

dulcinea also surprises gideon with her perceptiveness and unexpected ability to win TWO keys and harrow even warns gideon she’s dangerous and gideon STILL doesn’t perceive her as a threat cuz hnggg hot lady nice

and it’s very obvious Things are Happening but because gideon dismisses it, we kinda do too. and we aren’t privy to any of the extra insight because our narrator is too busy simping over cougars, blonde bimbos, and her boss to take note of any of the big stuff.

but hey at least she figured out that camilla is ambidextrous and uses dual blades as her primary weapons instead of a rapier?? go you funky jock lesbian! but gideon i am begging you to do some critical thinking babe. if harrow had even half of the information gideon was given gtn would have been over in fifty pages

Has this been done yet???

[mykkzy]

Cardan, very drunk: *points to Jude* That’s my girlfriend, suckers!

Jude, quietly: Your wife, honey.

Cardan: my wiFE! EVEN BETTER!

[mhevarujta]

“Have I told you how hideous you look tonight?” Cardan asks, leaning back in the elaborately carved chair, the warmth of his words turning the question into something like a compliment. “No,” I say, glad to be annoyed back into the present. “Tell me.” “I cannot,” he says, then frowns.

*Meanwhile Cardan in his bedroom*

“How has she not figured out that she is queen of fairy and can pardon herself.”
