RWCH Readathon 2024: Day 18
Princess in Practice: Prologue
Today is the day we start book 2!!!!!
I really really love that this book opens with a completely different POV, and we see the perspective of Saskia, are immediately thrown back into the world, and feel her distress and her desperate desire to see Ani again
This also shows us the real reason she joined leviathan, and how leviathan will use whatever manipulation they need to, to get their targets to join them
I also really like that its highlighted that even after she was captured, it had taken weeks for her to fully understand that Ellie was actuallythe princess. Not lottie
I think it really shows how much Ani had managed to keep from not only her partizan, but her girlfriend
And yet saskia still only wants one thing. To protect her.
Nikolay Olav! The man! I like having the palace staff come back in roles we didnt see them in before. Its a small thing but it makes me happy
I do always wonder though, why is it just Anastacia Alcroft and not Anastacia Alcroft Le Blanc?
Also I wanna highlight that the voice actors for the audiobook change with every perspective! And saskias va is so so good!!! I'll mention everytime I can! But it's so fun to hear how Connie believes each of them sounds! It gives a little insight into the world in a way we dont get by just reading normally!
All in all, this prologue never captured my attention the same way as the one from book 1, but I think its a really brilliant way to bring us back to the world in a fresh way that doesnt feel too similar to what came before.
It's new enough to be engaging, especially just as a summary of the last book for readers who need a refresher, but its not repetitive since its from a new angle
It also sets up the idea that Ani will be key to getting more information, and that Leviathans second phase is already being set in motion for the start of the semester!

Rosewood Ship Themes (?)
so I'm trying to do a thing here where I make like Rosewood ship theme songs??? I guess??? Like pick songs that I think fit each of the ships in the Rosewood Chronicles, and so far, I only have three decided, but I thought I'd share my ideas.
Lottie x Ellie - P.U.N.K Girl by Heavenly. This song is more from Lottie's point of view about Ellie, and how their relationship isn't perfect but they're still perfect for each other (oh my god I love them).
Saskia x Ani - Shut Up Kiss Me by Angel Olsen. This song is supposed to be set during Princess In Practice or the beginning of TLP. Like some of the lyrics remind me of their conversation during the prison scene in PIP.
Jamie x Raphael- Only A Dream by Zella Day. Yeah you can already tell where I'm going with this and it's lowkey depressing. But I thought of the song as being from Raphael's point of view after he kinda realizes that Jamie is never gonna like him and stuff.
please let me know if you have any other ideas because I'd really like to hear them!!!!

I bet on losing dogs
I know they're losing and I'll pay for my place
By the ring
Where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're down
I'll be there on their side
I'm losing by their side
MARTIN
Yeah, but if, if you're that connected, that dependent, what happens if we actually, y'know, do manage to—
ARCHIVIST
We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. For now, I just need us to be moving on.
The price of a long due reckoning
Laid in blood when the battle has done
Old King Cole has paid the toll
Of the crimes levied upon his soul
The rebel blades have achieved their goal
Laid in blood when the battle has done
Pip: We're doomed
Flip: We're not.
Pip: Are you sure?
There's been so little time to share
We've always had our loads to bear
I won't forget
I won't leave you this time
This time
MARTIN
I refuse to accept that this—
ARCHIVIST
(Firm) Tough! The world doesn't care what you accept. It just... is!
It just is.
It's getting late, Little Moon. Finish the song. It's not that late. You are my moon, Little Moon, and it's late enough. So climb down out of the tree. Is it safe? Safe enough. Are you dead as well?
MARTIN
Yeah, yeah. Come on. We've got a job to do.
