What to Expect
- → Expect shifting alliances and information that changes meaning in retrospect
- → Nobody says what they mean in public — subtext is the language
- → The romance is usually forbidden or complicated by political stakes
- → Betrayal hits harder because the reader trusted the character too
- → Best enjoyed slowly — the payoff requires patience with setup
