This villain death scene is really detailed 😳🩸☠️🩻

“What did it mean to belong to a people who had once subjugated another before becoming subjugated themselves?”

“...It was as though the body had begun its decay, then stopped, or had picked parts of the process to continue the way a farmer picked dates.

Their blade slid through the chest like a ripe mango, the skin curling as the pressure released. Firuz suppressed a gag. The body was rotting, all right, although the outside didn’t mirror the internal goo.”

Brother ughhhh

“Was this a test? Sweat beaded at Firuz’s hairline. Skies, they’d never been this jumpy back home...”

Omg ANOTHER book I can add to my ‘"Skies!" Used as an Expletive’ list lmao
