I'll comment on some of your other points later, but I have a question about pg 90 I'd like others' opinions on. This is when Kamet receives a cut on the head from the Namreen's sword. It's bleeding like crazy and Kamet, who is so NOT a soldier, is justifiably freaked out about it. He conjugates "die" (too funny!) and is afraid Costis is going to hurt him for calling him an imbecile. But what does Costis do? He wraps his arms around Kamet and comforts him. Costis probably had all kinds of fearful thoughts running around in his head, ranging from fighting the Namreem to wondering what Gen would say to him if he managed to get Kamet killed on the trip to Attolia, and lots of adrenaline.
But were his actions with Kamet out of character? He's never done anything like that before. It seemed to me that hugging Kamet just then was kind of weird. Unless, maybe, there's an attraction there that we don't know about.
