Fun story! I expected the king consort to get in more trouble than he did. Also seems like they had a lot of gems for throwing at crows. I had trouble remembering how the timekeeping worked, despite the explanation. But mostly I enjoyed the world, the characters, and the story. I also like that the princes are technically rivals but just see each other as brothers and care about each other.
Detective story!! I loved it, and the crows were such a cool idea!
