The role reversal between Eurylochus and Odysseus from Puppeteer to Mutiny though…

Eurylochus initially wanting to leave the crew behind while Odysseus refuses to, and now Odysseus choosing to sacrifice crew members and this being the last straw for Eurylochus.

Thinking from Eurylochus’s perspective, I wonder if he felt guilty for not trusting Odysseus after opening the bag in Luck Runs Out, and when Odysseus succeeded in saving the crew on Circe’s island, had his faith fully restored and began to trust Odysseus fully once again… only to have it broken with the sacrifices in Scylla.

As much as I adore conlangs, I really like how the Imperial Radch books handle language. The book is entirely in English but you're constantly aware that you're reading a "translation," both of the Radchaai language Breq speaks as default, and also the various other languages she encounters. We don't hear the words but we hear her fretting about terms of address (the beloathed gendering on Nilt) and concepts that do or don't translate (Awn switching out of Radchaai when she needs a language where "citizen," "civilized," and "Radchaai person" aren't all the same word) and noting people's registers and accents. The snatches of lyrics we hear don't scan or rhyme--even, and this is what sells it to me, the real-world songs with English lyrics, which get the same "literal translation" style as everything else--because we aren't hearing the actual words, we're hearing Breq's understanding of what they mean. I think it's a cool way to acknowledge linguistic complexity and some of the difficulties of multilingual/multicultural communication, which of course becomes a larger theme when we get to the plot with the Presgar Translators.
