Finally getting round to reading the Scarlet Pimpernel (free eBooks my beloved) and while I am really enjoying the story and everything is pretty easy to follow, the sheer royalist tones the book has is a lot
#i mean i knew that would be in here
#given that pimpernel is a noble who rescued “innocent royals/rich people” from the guillotine during the reign of terror
#and the book is set in england AND france
#but its still a lot lol
#its honestly nice so far
#im managing two chapters a day which im really really proud of considering i cant remember the last time i read a book
#well ok last one i read was beowulf but that wasn't too long (version i read anyway)
#this book has like 29ish chapters? idr
#its also worth noting the author herself was a baroness
#and that her backstory involved her fleeing to england when she was 3 because the locals rebelled against her family and burnt down
#the family home
#which while im sure it was justified must have been terrifying for her
#i cant lie either its interesting reading from this and seeing her perspective on things as much as i despise royalty i am very interested
#in the whole system if that makes sense? its just fascinating to me
#i think im gonna blame tlk for this one LMAO
#but yeah good so far
#also yeah im sure you guys know why im reading the book LMAO
#if not well im sure you could probably guess 💀
#to be fair the reign of terror was a pretty fucked up time so like i can see the need for pimpernel... somewhat
#also fun fact for anyone interested but this book is actually what started the whole hero with a secret identity
#and pimpernel is said to have inspired the likes of zorro and batman!
#idk i just thought that was pretty cool
