I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT

ALSO it is revealed that Neema has the Raven fragment, Cain has the whole Fox, & I think Ruko has a piece of the tiger bc he can talk to something in his head

The Hound Trial had them scaling a wall Cain came in 1st Neema 2nd Ruko shows compassion&saved Tala from falling Fenn was captured by Hounds Ruko chokes Cain during their fight&i think the unconsciousness wakes up the Fox who takes over full time; (Bc they are all tied they go to the Dragon Trial Neema sees a vision of her exiling herself Ruko sees the throne Neema tells him about the Raven warning of the Return

It was so good when Neema was talking with Ruko after the Dragon Trial He was trying to be nice by offering her a spot at court but when she told him about failing to kill him&stop the Return he was comfortable talking so coldly to her which revealed to her that he can be compassionate but his armored side wins out I like that she told him to start thinking for himself

The Hound Trial had them scaling a wall Cain came in 1st Neema 2nd Ruko shows compassion&saved Tala from falling Fenn was captured by Hounds Ruko chokes Cain during their fight&i think the unconsciousness wakes up the Fox who takes over full time ;( Bc they are all tied they go to the Dragon Trial Neema sees a vision of her exiling herself Ruko sees the throne Neema tells him about the Raven warning of the Return

Ruko wins his fight w theVisitor killing him Neema realizes she has to take the throne to stop the world from ending The 2nd part of the monkey trial is an interpretive performance Neema channels Sol to put on a performance that paints her as a Raven empress SO COOL The emperor goes to the prisons to visit the prisoner Benna heard TURNS OUT Bersun is actually Andren who trapped Bersun’s bro Gedrun to steal his face

SO THEN WHY IS SHE THE CONTENDER??? please!!!
or isn’t that the emperor wanted her to be - okay in that case fine but regardless this is a total MESS

i like how the tense changes honestly what’s quite masterful

exactly! how can she the new raven contender seriously what type of joke. i’m not sure yet if this is poor & lazy writing or if it’s a plot mechanism - we shall see but im def giving the benefit of the doubt because the book has been good so far and the drugging plot point was very excellently done
