I thought it well done, she didn't take the temptation to trash Catherine's affairs up, and LOL how she handled Peter's nuttiness.

Re-reading The Chosen King by Helen Hollick.
Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!
- "Into Battle"
