A Harmonious Echo
You rated both 'The Queen of Nothing' and 'How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories' a solid 4/5, and in doing so, you've profoundly connected two facets of enduring power. Both narratives, despite their distinct plot trajectories, showcase a deep, albeit contrasting, exploration of how authority is both forged and eroded through the manipulation of narratives and perceived truth—a theme you seem to implicitly value, even without personal notes. What's surprising is how these books, as part of a series and a companion novella, reveal a recurring fascination with the *performance* of power in the Faerie court, mirroring how real-world leaders build and maintain their influence through crafted stories.
