Me and Callie chatted on Instagram that maybe Sarai could like.. ascend into true godhead or something ^^ I don't know how that would play out for her and Lazlo's budding romance though. It might end up being one of those bittersweet Sokka/Yue situations :( But honestly Laini Taylor has proven to be so creative that I wouldn't put it past her to come up with something I'm incapable of predicting and making it work beautifully XD

I finished! I loved this book so much! There were parts of the end that I ended up skimming through a little bit, but I'm weird in the sense that I tend to skim through high-action scenes but will fully immerse myself in the slower, world-building sorts of descriptions.

First note: I utterly forgot about the prologue bit until Sparrow was making the little flower cake and mentioned the buds and I had to stop a minute and think because that looked *familiar* but I couldn't figure out from where. Then I went back and reread the beginning and was like

O.O

oh no

Then I was on the edge of my seat (metaphorically) wondering which girl was gonna bite it at the end. I am SO curious to see where this goes in Muse of Nightmares. But yeah, I really appreciated that bit of storytelling there. I think Laini Taylor is certainly a wonderful storyteller and this was a really great book to read right after finishing The Starless Sea, which is also very much a book about storytelling. It made me appreciate this even more.

ANYWAY! Those are my thoughts. I've got some questions for y'all:

1). Who was your favorite character?
2). What do you think happened to all the godspawn children?
3). WUTS GONNA HAPPEN TO SARAI!?
4). Was there anything you found confusing about the world/story?
5). How do YOU want it to end? This can be as realistic or ridiculous as possible.

Also, feel free to ignore my questions if you don't feel like answering them. I just figured I'd toss them in and I'm curious what you guys think!

friends

pals


I just finished part 1 and eeeeeeeeeeeeee

I'm so enthralled! I'm getting major Name of the Wind vibes. I don't know from where. maybe it's the storytelling? I've never read Laini Taylor before but I'm certainly going to continue.

I hope the book stays this good ^^ I really, truly, am genuinely rooting for Lazlo and I love it when I can throw myself in to support a main character. and I'm intrigued by Thyon, even if he is a prat.

I'm excited to keep reading!
