My salty take that I usually only whisper to my sister is that publishers are pushing a lot of $32 collectible hardcovers with contents better suited for the mass market rack. The books are fine! But they're not worth thirty two american dollars!!(and then many underperform and everyone's surprised)
The death of the mass market paperback means the cheapest book options are now 50% more expensive. Welcome to the book affordability crisis.

- Fergus, now Donal's chief of guards, was originally Connol's guard + friend. He's one of the background figures whose doings are mostly left to the reader's imagination.
