"It seems death is our gift to the peoples of the world," whispered Urchar.

"Teren can only stare back at me. I cannot describe the expression in his eyes."

what a cop out. good god

WHOA now that took a pretty quick turn...

It's weird to me what he chooses to address in this book. Like he skips over what could add cool layers to the story, and focuses more on making sure we know Exactly What's Going On Strategically. Feels like I'm being talked down to.

"'Now that would tickle my father pink. Oh, stop squealing. The pun wasn't that bad.'" oh my god we as an audience don't need to be taught what a pun is

"And issue a challenge to you, turdlicker."
lol why are all the insults like this
