(Although actually I lovvve that this book did not say anything about the nature of Costis and Kamet's relationship other than that they're very important to each other, because I'm actually super into the idea that their life-bonded partnership is platonic (probably this is my unremovable aro-ace goggles but I'm here for it!))

yesssss I am totally here for this :D <3

(I totally also get having a firm opinion it should be more romantic, though!)
