Penny

God, I’m so proud of her! I’ve been waiting forever for a female MC to say those words! All these guys acting like the discomfort of developing feelings is someone else’s job to fix…infuriating. The magic of clearly understood boundaries between what is your biz and what is theirs. Love it.

Is it just me… or does Herman seem to have Stockholm Syndrome? His behavior makes much more sense in that light. Anita is gorgeous and tragic, but also abusive in the extreme. It makes sense she would have gone a bit mad that way, given her lover killed everyone else she loved in the world and everyone like her… yikes. What a mess. If I were Regina, I’d want to pack up and leave, too. What a horrible ancestor to be related to, and then to have to clean up the mess he made because the emperor is mediocre as a leader (and even worse as a father) and only sits on a throne because he is a descendant of that disgusting ancestor… I’d run away with my little brother, change my name, and start a revolution so the public can elect someone with their best interests at heart who isn’t the descendant of a genocidal asshole.

Knowing Regina, though, they would probably just elect her. She just can’t get a break.
