Status Updates From The Cowherd Prince

It has gotten better, overall. Chanuran has moved past the cardboard villain caricature he had seemed to be at the beginning. The politics, disagreements and overall plot has gotten thicker. I wish the argument between Yuyudhana and Govinda had been handled better. It was a sheer mess. Yuyudhana too, btw, has revealed himself to be more than he seemed (to Govinda).

Very intrigued to read on! Loving Govinda! Not very pleased with the depiction of Yuyudhana as him being older than Govinda (?) which is canonically unlikely, as well as with the entire "nobility versus gwalas" thing that happens during his introduction. I agree that Govinda would see it that way, absolutely. But this particular issue right here, with Satyaki as the opposing side, felt too forced to me.
