Conspiracy of Kings

So I'm six pages from finishing Conspiracy of Kings (probably three actually, the others are probably end matter with all the publisher's addresses double-spaced) and the thing that is occupying my mind is that Attolia gave him a gun...and then Attolis gave him an identical gun. Oh my god. I wondered for ages what was under that cover and at first I thought it might be money for armies but two matching sets of hand guns. If that's not two well-matched people I don't know what is.


Also I'm weirdly pleased that apparently there are conjugated ruler titles--Attolia and Attolis, Hanaktia and Hanaktios and so on.

I also need to reread it; I have missed most of the political parts. More to follow.
