"Friendship is as selfish as any other relationship, perhaps more so because it masquerades as something noble. I am more comfortable with those who approached me with blades drawn." ~Sicarius I do kind of love him.

I'm starting to drag through this one. It's good-ish. I like most of the characters but I'm still kind of irked that we have an all male crew aside from Amaranthe. And her cleaning/tidying OCD is a little annoying...

"Huh."

Sicarius, you're an articulate one, aren't you?

This book is seriously developing an overabundance of testosterone. Don't get me wrong, I like T, really I do. But would it kill her to add in another female character (besides the bitchy ex-classmate)?

The empire is not just a government; it's a way of life. Our citizens know they're a part of something greater than them. Without the empire to define an ideology for them, they would be lost. Hmmm. :/

Why is she always wanting to clean stuff? First the crime scene now a historical sword. Just because you're a girl doesn't mean you have to be a compulsive cleaner, especially when it directly conflicts with what's appropriate.
