See all 3 questions about Misrule Lists with This Book . HW: It is research, I feel that her story since her death has been told by men and by women who didnt really love her so much.

I would have expected someone that old who has ordered so much death and destruction to be more jaded and hardened, but she felt like a young adult, like she hadnt actually aged beyond where she had been in the first book even though a hundred years had passed. I like made it about Malice. Have a seat and enjoy a story or two. One of the best reads of the year. Logs and ledgers. I throw a pillow in the direction of their noise. And if you have a paperback of Malice, you can actually read the prologue. But no, it is like soul sucking difficult. And the main treatment is just like stretching, stretch all the time.

Future Heather has been like, ah, it was very hard to write because I truly did not really know what happened next. The Lord Ambassador Endlewild treated me like I was vermin when I was the Dark Grace, poisoning my mind against my own kind. What that experience has been like with malice and being on having this book sort of take off and just get that love from that community.
