Herrad sentenced her own husband to be branded for chicken theft (before he was her husband, granted, but still). <br>2. On not quite so rare occasions, she very much delights in telling the truth in misleading ways.<br>3. Given her sometimes dark sense of humour, she would gladly claim that 1. and 2. only say good things about her (and might even mean it, in one case, at least). 😇</p>

And you have to read that!<br>- He is incapable of being a captain - he knows, you know, EVERYBODY knows. But still, this is a whole book about it.<br>- Knight in shining armour he isn't. Everybody else saves the day. Shouldn't it be the MC who does that? Lazy brat!<br>- He is useless at romance. Which gets even worse when he falls in love.
