ZAMBETTA

I’m completely baffled at how seriously some people are taking this throwaway line. For one thing, it sounds like a joke-y exaggeration. 

And for the second, has no one been in a long-term relationship before?  I mean, virtually one one has 50 years of perfection, but there’s an expectation that we’re going to see a depiction of 900 years of it? 

I understand it’s not going to be to everyone’s taste because there are plenty of idealistic romantics out there, and this is a fantasy series, but the human relationship element has generally been the non-fantasy element, no?
