'God's geese! You startled me,' said Muzzlehatch, raising his hand as though to guard himself from attack. 'I'd forgotten you were here. I was brooding, boy. Than which there is no richer pastime. It muffles one with rotting plumes. It gives forth sullen music. It is the smell of home.'

So far in book two we've had two attempted murders (maybe three, not sure how to count them), four deaths (varied causes), love at first sight, a weird poetry reading ceremony where all the walls had to be painted dark red, cavernous secret passages being explored, and a generous helping of hinted nefarious planning. So I guess you could say it's getting pretty serious lol

I'm trying to get through the second book now, but it just feels so autumnal and I feel so spring-ish right now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
