Ember: How long has he been sleeping for?

Ruby, who has James' head resting on her lap while he sleeps: Two hours and I can’t feel my legs.

Lin: Then you should probably wake him-

Ruby: I would rather die.

aside from ruby and james, lin is probably my favorite person in the whole series. ruby is so lucky to have her. she’s an amazing friend: she stands up for her when others talk about her behind her back, she recognizes that she wasn’t always a nice person to be around before her father lost his job—with all of ruby’s accomplishments and mishaps, she’s nothing but supportive. i love her. it’s just her and her carrots against the world.

This love (it's alright)

Alistair meant what he said to James. He wanted to sit at the far back of the large room and sleep off his hangover, maybe even try and forget his heartbreak at the memory of Kesh smiling while he flirted with Camille the night before. That was the plan anyway. But then James decided this was the day he had to go and be an asshole and make it everyone's problem.

So here Alistair was trying to mind his own business, and James had to go and poke the bear.

The bear being Ruby.

I’ve just finished reading “Maxton Hall” and why no one talking about Lin??? She’s like one of the most wisdom, clever and kind person in this books (not Ruby, I’m sorry). And what about her and Cyril??? Their story just ISN’T over! What about their future? They just talked, broke up after 2 years of relationship and it’s all? Their feelings just disappeared? Are you kidding? I want more LIN

I’m fairly certain (based on a quick perusal of news articles and Chinese Wikipedia) that elephant Grandpa Lin Wang did not have the rank of general but I want to believe

Yesss! I especially loved the outside the tavern scene with Lydia and Ruby. First I laughed because that's the second time that Ruby has stumbled into a Lydia situation lol. But this time, even eith everything, Ruby was still so understanding and willing to be an ear. Like you, I hope we get more Lydia and Ruby bonding scenes. I can see Lydia being taken in by the dynamic of Ruby's family. Add in Lin and Lydia will have genuine female friendships and not those hang-ons she's usually around.

I'm loving everything in your post. Bring on the platonic relationships: give us Ruby and Lin, Ruby and Lydia, Alistair too...just all of it

The one thing I am kind of missing in the new Maxton Hall series are the platonic relationships.

I did enjoy that they spend so much time on Ruby and James (and I think it necessary since this is their love story), but if we do get further seasons with more episodes (fingers crossed) I want to see more of everyone’s friendships.

I want to see more of the boys: I want Cyril absolutely hopelessly in love with a girl that he cannot have and feeling as though his entire friendship group is falling apart. I want him feeling lost and helpless and I want to understand him and to empathize with him even though his actions are wrong. I want the backstory with Alistair’s family and I want to see him struggle with his non-conformity with what is expected of him in terms of his sexuality and how his friends love and support him through all of that. I want more Wren and James interaction. These two are supposed to be best friends. I want to actually see that and I want to see Wren feeling lost and alone because of Ruby’ and James’ new relationship and how he deals with that. And I want to see more interaction between all of them. I want to know more about how they got to know each other and what keeps them together. James’ friends and how they operate is crucial to understanding the story in further seasons and I actually wanna be able to see that.

But I also want to see more of the girls: I want to see Lydia be actually kind to Ruby and Ruby be the friend that she really needs. I want Lin to be there for Ruby. To pick her up and make her feel better when she truly needs it. I want them to have their little parties and love and support each other throughout all their trials. Beyond Ruby‘s family they are the group I always felt the most sympathetic towards and their camaraderie really enriched the story for me. Especially Ruby and Lydia slowly opening up to one another has to be one of the most wholesome relationships in this entire series.
