Wonderful pull quotes there, shame you didn’t have them in time to go on the cover. “Grammatically correct.” - Margaret Atwood “Free of weird words.” - Dorothy L. Sayers (Look, if AI can make up reviews, it can make up the reviewers as well)

If the final matchup is between Spain and The Netherlands it will be especially pitched as historically the winner gets Belgium

That’s lethal, when you think you’ll just read to the end of the chapter before going to bed / cooking the dinner / doing that very important thing that’s got to be ready tomorrow….

I tend to notice that sort of thing: whether or not I mind probably depends on how far I have to read in each chapter before I twig whose POV we’re in. I got annoyed by it once - strictly alternating POV except for two in a row ~75% in - because the MCs were increasingly hard to tell apart anyway.

Whenever you read a fantasy novel where elves live for ages but still hang around with humans, remember that's like us with dogs.

Can I also just point out that UK Labour plus Greens plus Lib Dems is a leftist majority. Europe is not going far right if the left holds together.
