"'We must both grow up. You, especially, ought to make something of yourself, Kellian.'"

Just dig that knife a little deeper...

You can tell that Kel really valued Antonetta's friendship when they were young kids. And her new role of becoming a grown woman hurt him. 😭

"Girls, they seemed to feel, went off and did mysterious things in order to become women, who were fascinating, strange entities."

Yeah, it's called getting mental disorders and drinking an absurd amount of coffee in this day and age lol

I did not think we'd meet the Ragpicker King so soon.

Antonetta walking in on Kel and Silla.... omg girl.

"...he could feel Antonetta’s gaze on him, knew she was watching. He had thought it would bother him, but it only sent a greater heat crackling through his veins. You have come here to be scandalized, Antonetta, he thought. So be scandalized."

Damn, Kel. Just say you're in love.

I got worried for a second that Kel wanted to betray Conor.

Wait... is this an orgy?

Lin reminds me of Shallan from TWOK.

Kel: "Well, you could convince me to be your Sword Catcher."
Conor: "BET."

Antonetta is THAT girl.

This is like the Prince and the Pauper... or is it not?
