I read the story of Lim & Marak Blackwing. I already liked the little of their story that was mentioned in Close Kin, but the full thing was just so good 😩 My favorite thing about Clare B. Dunkle's worldbuilding is that when she expands on the tales of previous King's Wives (both goblin and elf), the stories are always tragedies or heroic acts of sacrifices, never romances. Lim's story is a bit of both, a little similar to Kate's in that regard, which is what made quite compelling to me. The two are an interesting pair for how much discomfort and pity they inspired in me during the story lol.
