Also, Sulfur getting cooked (and eaten) we love to see it!

I love Rikke! And Isern and Shivers. I really do.

I was right, Zuri is Ishri! I only have one question, why does Sulfur have blood? Aren’t all Eaters made up of ash or like different matters. I’m sure they don’t have blood. Unless I’m mistaken. It’s been a while. It seems Khalul has been killed or defeated. Interesting. I hope Ferro did it. It is insane that Zuri had been talking about her scripture teacher nonstop only for him to be the Prophet Khalul!

That was a hell of a chapter. From beginning to end. I loved seeing Savine fence with Jurand, it was brilliant! And then learning that Glokta did it all for her and that Ardee was not only in on it but also the one who thought it up in the first place…insane. And I’m ecstatic that I was right about Zuri and her brothers! What’s insane is that Glokta chose her to protect Savine…insane.

Arch Lector Glokta sitting at Vick’s dining table with the squares board set in front of him reminds me so much of when Arch Lector Sult had done the exact same thing to then Inquisitor Glokta (well except for giving him the ring I suppose). It made feel very nostalgic, especially when Glokta referenced his “we must work with the tools we have.” line, though I don’t miss Sult himself.

Glokta is the Weaver! And he’d planned for the whole thing to happen. Tallow too was a plant from the beginning. My head is spinning. And he wants Vick to succeed him…that is insane. Where will he go now? And what will Pike do too? I am shocked that Vick refused but I think I’ve always suspected that she’d choose herself in the end. I respect her a lot for this. Glokta is great! I’ve missed him so much!

I’m both anxious and excited for tomorrow since I’ll probably finish it then. I’ve spent so much time in the Circle of the World, I really don’t want it to end.

I had an inkling that the owl would be Rikke, and I knew she would have to turn Orso in, it had to be done for the North. Leo talking shit even after she handed him Orso was very unnecessary, Leo is very petty and annoying. Can he go too? Please? I never thought I’d say this but I’d rather have Orso as High Kind than Leo. At least he is self-aware I guess.

This garden party was miserable and bittersweet. Imagine what could’ve been had they not betrayed each other. It feels a bit hopeless. I love Rikke so much though. Leo has changed so much but he is still very annoying, I can’t with him. Orso still being in the city and coming to Rikke for help is an interesting choice. If she delivers him to Leo to ensure their alliance/his forgiveness I’ll be so shocked.

IF SHE FUXKING TOUCHES OLD STIX I SWTG I RIDE AT DAWN

And Rikke is here! I hope nothing bad happens to her or to her entourage. I’ve grown so fond of Shivers and Isern that if anything ever happened to them I’d lose it.
P.S. I’m so excited to see Rikke’s outfit for the function!

I wanted to believe tha Broad had changed, goddammit.

I wonder what will happen now to Savine and Vick too, there’s no way he’s letting them off the hook. I’m worried.

I can’t believe that Gorst is dead and by a bloody flatbow bolt to the face (shot by Jurand), it feels wrong. It’s good that he went out fighting (though it still feels like a waste) he was so close to getting Leo too if it weren’t for Jurand. I didn’t think I’d care. That was sad.

I like that Temple was mentioned a few chapters back as Savine’s lawyer. It makes the Circle of the World seems very much alive.

I think Savine is planning to get rid of Leo one way or another, there’s no way she’d agree with him on executing Orso. And I don’t think Leo will agree to her choices being on the Closed Council and I can’t see her making the offer without a plan already in place. I honestly can’t see what will happen now. I wonder where Glokta and Ardee are and if they are alright.

Leo is embarrassing the Union in front of the Westport delegates (good to see Vick’s handiwork on Rosimiche still) I thought he knew better now. And even before that, what the hell is wrong with him? Being jealous of his babies and his wife and angry at his mother. I mean, it’s complicated and I get it (to a certain extent) but this is insane. He needs to go.

I have exactly 100 page left and I really don’t want to finish this book. There’s so much left I want more! I still have one more story collection but that’s it and I’m sad.
