A memo for the Rippersz Nation:

Thank you for all of the asks. I see them all, I cherish them all, I laugh at the funny ones, I take requests and such into consideration, and I hold the kindness very dear. I avoid responding to too many because I don’t like when they flood the account, but know that you’re not being ignored. I am kissing you. You’re being kissed. Get kissed, idiot.

Love, The Mothership. - Rip x

So what did you think of Prey, as I've mentioned it's a personal favourite mostly for the Sharpe childhood tragedy and his interactions with the loved Danish orphans as well as the entry of Pumps my favourite bad gay representation.

I crafted this meme especially for the occasion-

There is something so deeply touching about Sharpe’s interactions with orphans- Davi Lal in Sharpe’s Triumph or Ahmed in Sharpe’s Fortress and his instinct to protect these kids without really having to think about it.

I adored all his interactions with orphans, both in the orphanage where he grew up as well as the one in Denmark and the transition from orphanage=prison to orphanage= refuge was so heartbreaking to me.

And yes, Pumphrey’s representation was oh so BAD indeed- what could I expect from a character called Pumphrey anyway! But I enjoyed this occasionally blackmailing, high-pitched voiced tiny guy.

Apart from that, the series featured all the characters I love- Chosen Men (whom I didn’t expect to see until Sharpe’s Rifles), Boy Wellesley casually entrancing a certain Madame, and Joel Chase there to save the day was the icing on the cake! Definitely Cornwell’s best novel I’ve read so far!
