Status Updates From Secrets of Fathara (Azetha,...

Aah, so things are speeding up. And yet they aren't. I'm still wondering whose side should I be on, though. The Elves or the humans. Haha!

Okay
i'm curious now. Is she dead or alive? :(

Ah, I'm confused. What exactly are they planning to do with the King? And c'mon, it was HIS castle, how did he not know what happened within it? -_-

I wonder who this Spider guy is, although I must admit that there are so many stories going on within this book that I'm confused as to how and when and in which way will it end. Not to forget that so many stories are confusing me anyway. 😅

Aah....what am I learning. I feel sorry that Tika's identity is out. Why are maids so mofos!

Oh lookie, she's adopted. Cue obsessive internal monologue about being betrayed by those she thought loved her.

Foreshadowing prediction: The repeated references to how much Tika's appearance differs from her family's must mean that she's not actually related to them and she has no idea of this.

J.K. Rowling gets away with this kind of thing in HP book 6 because you're already invested in the series but here... not so much.

Why on earth does this YA book start out with a torture scene? I get that's it technically the prologue and not the start of the book, but it's still the first thing I read. And although the creature being tortured is a tree-like-being and not human, I couldn't help but imagine a baby Groot being abused. I regret starting this book over breakfast because that's not how I wanted to start my day.
