Sythyry takes a vacation : farniente and transaffection on a skyboat, discovering strange new lands, meeting fine new folks, piracy, romance, wanton destruction by one's ward, embezzling, bankruptcy, investigations, heaven prototypes forgotten by their creator and of course, doom. Plenty of it.
A hundred years after zir non graduation due to being the guardian of Vae, an emotional and dangerously powerful nendrai, Sythyry has grown in experience and wisdom. The relatively simple dooms of zir youth have left the place to more mature, delicately embroidered dooms entwining with each other. Vae helping a lot, too.
I'm as always impressed with Bard Bloom's talent to handle serious topics of in a humorous way without stripping them of their weight. Quite a few prejudices and interferences of society on private matters are shot with a sniper's accuracy.
Also, a special mention for the impressive and funnily obfuscating slang of Grinwipey, the Khtsoyis tailor of Sythyry. I definitively have not enough spoken english level to make any sense of it most of the time, but it is fun and you can always deduce more or less what's been discussed.
Writing this kind of stuff, yet using it only when needed, takes some culture and talent.
