The Dark Servant #18
Slavers' Guild War
The slavers are moving against High Priest S’Rak and Captain Jisten to make them pay for the destruction of Wethmir House. Other forces are moving also, secret forces, and S’Rak remains their target. Between Jisten’s racial bond with S’Rak and S’Tyll’s empathic one, there is little the two men can’t accomplish where S’Rak is concerned…so long as they work together. But trust is hard to forge in the aftermath of outraged blows and assassin’s blades, especially after the too-bold bard makes a play for the too-shy captain. If Jisten and S’Tyll can’t learn to trust one another enough to form a working partnership, the one thing they hold dear, S’Rak, could be lost to them both.

I feel like it was explained at some point how it is that Rak is Loftani (sp?) and still related to Jethain. Something something half-brothers?
It's very difficult for me to have sympathy for Jisten. Jisten is slowly but surely becoming to this series what Rose Tyler is to Doctor Who -- a, let's be honest, unlikeable character with no real discernable redeeming features that all the rest of the characters trip over themselves to cater to because Author Reasons. I tend to theorize, in these cases, that the author sees these characters as self-inserts.
I mean, Jisten wasn't so unlikeable to begin with, and now he is. That's terrible flanderdization.
Who the fat is this Kazia person? I remember her not at all.
I think I'm mostly reading for Tyll now. I mean, yeah, Rak and his suffering, but idk. Tyll is more of a woobie, I guess, and his future seems more indefinite, for some reason. I might be partly afraid the author'll just kill him off Because Reasons.
Also, he's more mortal than the rest of 'em and is going to die long before the rest of them and D: it just makes me sad.
The ending place was weird and stupid.
