"Miss Funke, you keep testing me.... Atp I'm only going on bc I loved the first two books so much. Would have DNF'ed it by now if it was a first book in a series. It can still be saved, but man, I'm convinced it won't.
How have so many characters changed so drastically in the few weeks between books 2 and 3? Especially Mo??? The fucking gaslighting??? Shame" — Jan 28, 2026 12:51PM

“Jesper couldn’t quite believe he was having a conversation with the Sturmhond. The privateer was a legend. He’d broken countless blockades on behalf of the Ravkans and there were rumors that… “Do you really have a flying ship? blurted Jesper.
“No.”
“Oh.”
“I have several.”
“Take me with you.”

“Evil men rarely convince others to their side by asking them to perform dark deeds for no good reason. They will always start with the lightest shade of gray. They so often use what seems like a good cause."
"You don't think it's possible that a little gray is what's needed, sometimes?" asked Davian.
Raleth snorted.
"No," he said severely. "Gray is the color of cowardice and ignorance and sheer laziness, Davian--never let anyone tell you otherwise. If something is not clearly right or wrong then it bears actually *figuring out* which one it is, not dismissal into some nebulous third category. If you have a basis for your morality, a foundation for it, then there will always be an answer--and if you do not, then trying to decide whether *anything* is right or wrong is an exercise in futility and irrelevance.”
