aida-dokova19.03.2026, 15:59Good afternoon, Netali. I started the first book of the series today, read up to part 13, and realized that I won’t stop until I finish it. Everything is written so beautifully that you immediately imagine the atmosphere and the characters, and their interactions are captivating. The shaving scene in part 13 is a delight; I reread it several times and laughed heartily at "yes, Your Brightness, unheard of, outrageous...". Brooksberry and Bens are unbeatable, and the theme of butlers in such novels is a story in itself. And it warms my heart to know that I still have 3.5 books ahead of me; the weekend will be exciting, and I’m all yours. Thank you for the wonderful stories, I wish you success and inspiration!
