This is correct and something I learned about recently. The style of a lot of middle eastern type clothing is all very loose and baggy for both men and women, because of that, the color of the clothing doesn't affect it's heat intake. It's thought that a lot of clothing styles came to be because of what was available to use to weave them. If I'm remembering correct, the desert areas had a lot of wool to work with. Wool is an insulator... So in order to wear it in that climate they wove it very loose with a lot of layers and baggyness. I'm not an expert on the matter though, so I might be mistaken
Back when Amazon first came out they were only doing books. They often had books other bookstores didn't have or carry and they were packaged with care. Nowadays any book you get from Amazon is usually printed crappily, with pages stuck together, cut off, or not even cut. Then they throw it in a box without packing where it bounces around and gets bent up. Regular bookstores now have good online platforms and if they don't have a book in store they can almost always order it. I know I'll get a quality print that isn't bent to crap. The only downside is occasionally they'll stick stickers somewhere that you're pretty sure the gods themselves super glued onto it.
There's the Astarion/cazador scene depending on what routes you take in act 3 but I don't want to spoil anything. It's pretty brutal.
I use the belly sleep pillow from Amazon and it's the best I've found after trying all sorts. It reminds me of one of those thin Oreos, which... When you sleep on your stomach, thinness apparently works wonders. I'm happy not to be suffocated by pillow fluff and it's very rare for me to get a crick in my neck anymore
