Status Updates From Suldric's King (Chronicles ...

Even though there were some pacing issues, I'm still really immersed and attached to these characters. Which is why I definitely want to read the next one! The last third of the book introduced some really intriguing character dynamics and a potential for exploring ethical questions through magic that influences emotions.

Rating as of now is 3.75⭐, but this might change.

Was this his life now? Handsome, dangerous men and running for their lives?

Omg Calen! It's not the time or place for this... Your life is literally in danger, stop drooling over your man 😩

Lock in!!!!!!

"I didn't ask for any of this," he said. "I didn't want it. But I'm still me. I'm still the same person-the same Calen-I always was. "Liri studied him like she was seeing him for the first time. Something shifted behind her eyes. Then she said quietly: "That's the most dangerous lie of all."

— Damn

"Mojet'thar, (...) But that can't be cast on someone. (...) It's...given. Freely. It has to be. An oath between master and devoted servant-a pledge of eternal loyalty." He shifted his attention to Calen. "Unbreakable."

—The Mojet'thar spell?!! Aka, King's Oath??!

The title of this book is making a whole lot of sense all of a sudden!

Now, this is intriguing!!!

He sucked the life out of him, literally!!!!

I love me some morally-grey/evil characters.

"Zesty Maltida."

EXCUSE ME, WHO????😂

Felt extremely demotivated because this one was only available on the NetGalley app, and I HATE reading on my phone. 😩

I claimed this ARC again via Booksprout, which made an Epub available to import on my Kobo!!! Which shouldn't have such a huge impact on the amount I read, but it does.

My motivation is instantly rejuvenated, seeing this book on an E-ink screen.🫡

If I received a nickel for each time Calen got into trouble because he needed to piss, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Oh yes, an adventure isn't complete without a girl dinner of bread, cheese and dried meat.

Uhm, so what's this sentient stone's angle here? Like, we're being manipulated by a literal piece of rock right now. Which is such a fucking weird sentence out of context.

"I think I'm very lost," he said quietly.

"Well, you're not lost," Lyra said, hand still on his arm. "You know where you are, and you know where you're trying to go. You just need a plan to get there."



— I'm still a little confused about the beginning but ready for this adventure.

I'm so lost, wtf is going onnnn 😭

I'm also someone who would pick up a pretty rock.
I get it, Calen.

oh buddy-read is live btw: https://app.thestorygraph.com/buddy_r...

I used a randomizer to pick my next ARC read because I'm indecisive af 😩

Absolutely crazy that a man whose name literally makes up the book title wouldn’t appear before the 66% mark

Just how old is he supposed to be?
