Locally-believed-to-be-deranged widow goes on a pilgrimage? Yessss, Ista let's leave

New quest acquired: die 3 times. Easyyyy...

Caz is such a badass right now? Like woah dude. But also: NOOOOOO

"Must you believe you are about to die in order to bring yourself to kiss a lady?" GO GET HIM GIRL.
Kinda charming, kinda problematic but I don't care right now

So many things are gonna happen in these last 5 chapters

Maysilee :D

Games games!! The arena is like a creepypasta version of teletubby land. And I can't help but kinda root for someone who I know is gonna die :(

2 chapters a day keeps the doctor away

Either this book is better than it's predecessors or I'm enjoying it more due to buddy-reading it with someone who has a soft spot for the Hunger Games?

Been so long since I've done a buddy read!

"Instead, Cazaril begs a peasant for the clothes off a corpse , and is grateful for both their favours. Most humbly grateful. Most humbly." I like you already Cazaril. And the way he described himself as "badly damaged in shipping. Value: ?" And and and "it was all the fault of my noble steed, my lady -- attacked, it thought, by a horse-eating deer. It went sidewise, I didn't." Yeee, I'm enjoying myself

It's going the way I don't want it to go. I was hopeful that now that we are no longer in the setting of the cruel court and their hedonistic tendencies, it would be a better playground. Except now I'm finding the relationship between Laurent and Damen quite unrealistic (and fast). It feels uninspired with often the same tricks. Rolling my eyes at the last chapter.

Erasmus :(

Sometimes it feels like it fleets around a bit? I wish Damen would give us more of internal thoughts rather than just the impressions of what's happening around him. The bath scene just made me frustrated, but the flogging was cool. And Laurent plays him like a fiddle. I'm still reading so there's that

Feeling a little daring. This could be a quick DNF, it could be okay. I guess I'll find out soon

This is going to be painful, isn't it?

'Sometimes anger is entitled and jealous, but sometimes it rises up to demand what you feel you deserve. And Dymitr feels he deserves nothing and no one.'

Excuse me the fingernail stuff? I'm invested in Dymitr and Niko now

I did not read the blurb and thought this would be in Poland but it's not (for now?). That's okay though, just surprised lol

I don't know where this book is gonna take us by the end of this... All I can say with certainty is that we will get a lot of Valen running around naked from this point on and I'm not mad about it

"Do thou pass the time of the last remasti entirely unchanged, thy skin will harden into a prison and thy spirit shall die captive within it." Let's go!

Hmm yes - pain, suffering - thank you Berg.

Also I fucking KNEW it!!!

This is like the best thing that has happened to Valen thus far. I'm sure Gram has his reasons.
