I am utterly unfussed about late replies to either entries or comments, btw.
And thanks for linking to de Bodard's posts on House of Shattered Wings, even though it's not really making me want to read the book more. Quite the opposite. Yes, I'm sure l'Ile aux cygnes is a great place to live when you can't go near the banks *eyeroll* (and having googled her, I am completely unsurprised that someone named "de Bodard" went to Louis le Grand because of fucking course she did.) Edit: sorry, that came out a lot more bitter than I expected. I just have issues with the way France still treats nobility (which she is). I don't know her personally, so for all I know she has none of the attitudes that are prevalent in nobles/aristocrats, but I have to admit I have my doubts and I still get a visceral :/ reaction to her name. /full disclosure
