Sheever's Journal Diary of a poison master by K. Ritz
This story starts out with how Sheever came about the journal and what it means to him.
Like daily note of his life and others that work with him. Some of the scenes are very barbaric, be forewarned.
Like the people he talks to and they all have different opinions of him.
He is a male cook at the palace and there are many female maids around. He has a care for them but just can't commit to being with them. He shares a room with one other and he gets to write in his journal often. Sometimes he goes weeks without writing a word. He is also very wealthy, he owns many houses in his hometown that he gets to visit when he gets time off. He gives a lot of his money to the peasants who he runs across trying to make them have a better life. Love how he helps others with chores they are not able to do themselves. The people who own the palace can be beasts and very cruel to the workers. Some of the scenes are very horrific in brutality but consider this is in the 500's. Interesting to learn of the poisons and with his training he knows how to use them. Like how he plots his own death.
Powerful and memorable reading.
