Gorgeous! I love how pissy Isra is, although I'm fairly sure he must have dangerously high blood pressure at this point, and worry that he will die of a stroke. All your characters are delightful, obviously - I could say how much I love them all, and why, but I'm fairly sure you already know how fantastic they are (and if you don't, you should).

I can hardly wait to see what comes of the Wasps being turncoats - does this mean that the Broken Palace is compromised? Oh, that would be bad. Anyway, I'll be avidly waiting for more.
