Abigail Bok (regency_reader) Good news! I almost wrote the spammer a flame, but then reflected that if I did so I’d bring down the entire Ukrainian hacker community on my head.

That's ok. Next time I might take a screenshot & send Support an email. I was worried someone might accidentally click on a link. I'm glad GR moved swiftly.

& it was probably a bot. It hit huge numbers of groups.

I just started re-reading this and I'm loving it even more than the first time I read it.


Andrea AKA Catsos Person (catsosperson) | 157 comments Welcome back Hana!

I hope you are fully recovered!

Rubbing my hands together to get started on this baby!

Getting there, thanks, Andrea! It's a slow recovery process but at last I'm strong enough to lift this door-stopper of a book :D

Thanks, Karlyne!

I'm loving how MM Kaye plunges us right into the action. I've read several accounts of the Sepoy uprising and none are as terrifying as this--seen from the point of view of the incredibly brave Sita. Kay captures perfectly the bewilderment and terror of someone caught in a battle, not knowing who is fighting whom, or why, or where safety lies.
