but I don’t know how it would stand up if I read it now so I haven’t gone back to it.
I read The Blue Sword for the first time before I read a whole lot of, like, Kipling, and it definitely felt different re-reading afterward. The Hero and the Crown, not featuring an analogue for the British Empire and expanding the scope of Damar, does not have this problem.
