The healthiest human relationship is probably Audra and her father. Literally everyone else's relationship is...uhhh...

Not me worrying that people will assume that Wanda and Stach's sometimes garbage political opinions 100% mirror mine, even though they're both extremely privileged royals from an early modern Europe-like era.

K.B. Diaz@kbdiaz· May 8

It has to be Marzanna! She is Wanda's dragon and the most sarcastic, aggressive character in the book!

CHAPTER 1
FROM LIFE TO ASHES
Her brother did not look like himself, in death. A plain white shirt had replaced his luxurious robes and covered him from neck to ankles. His cheeks, which had flushed with life, were now cold and pale. He grasped a saber in one hand, and the other held shining silver feathers. His dragon’s cleaned skull was placed over his chest. Łada was her name. Kazimierz was his.
Knights set his open casket on the pyre. Orzełki they were called, for the white feathered wings fastened to the back of their armor reminded folk of eagles. Hundreds of mourners stood in a half-circle around her family, having followed them from the cathedral ceremony to the cremation by the riverbank. She had seen many of them at her father’s court, but she could not remember their names now.

Did this dude ever think that he would ever be in the acknowledgements of a fantasy book series 150 years after he was traveling across Lithuania collecting folk songs?

Jeskizno is Wawel but the hill its on is a LOT taller and there's actually dragons. Smocza Gora is based on Książ Castle, except, once again. Way taller.
