Atrius&Sylina come up w a plan to go straight to the Pythora King & murder him They have to pass through the mountains to get to him which will be tricky Atrius says he wants Sylina to rule the land w him since she respresents/understands the humans Sylina tries communicating w the Sightmother but no one answers at the Salt Keep which indicates smth is wrong idk if it’s on her end or theirs

Ravenous rawr 😛

Atrius reveals that he has vamps on a nearby island His cousin will sail w warriors2the next siege Sightmother visitsSylina in person&gives her a dagger2 killAtrius bc the weaver wants it Sylina seers smth is wrong on the island Find all the vamps killed byPythoraKing Atrius showsSylina his past he followed a prince that tried2egainNyaxia’s favor&she killed him&cursedAtrius w dying or conquering land in her name

Thank god the library had the alternate cover bc I can’t take this one seriously That is definitely not how I am imagining Atrius 🥴

They took the town butAtrius sus thatSylina didn’t tell him the whole truth but she’s able to cover herself Atrius ask for her help w a curse festering causing a lot of pain She unwinds threads in his soul so he can rest&she falls asleep w him many times The next city they take isSylina’s hometown Her&Atrius go in assassin style take out the warlord but run intoSylina’s brother she thought was dead

Sylina is in as Atrius’ seer She seers for him bc he wants to attack a city She sees details abt the city but also Atrius& another standing b4 Nyaxia & the other person being killed Interesting She is able to use a pond to communicate w the Sightmother Sylina is conflicted bc she was brought to the sisterhood later than every1 else&saw parts of war that make her think differently than the others bc they haven’t

TheSightmother sendsSylina to become the conqueror’s seer Sylina finds his camp & waits out his current seer to kill her When they go crazy looking for the seer she plants herself at an inn where the vampires find her & take her to the conqueror They are from theHouse of Blood so they can use blood magic on her
Sylina is a human btw & the vampires are invading human land for some reason+working w the Pythoran king

It’s crazy to be back in this world! Sylina serves theGoddess ofFate She gave up her vision which heightened her other senses which is how she sees the world Her country is ruled by the PythoraKing who is corrupt & the country is being invaded by vampires Sylina’s goddess is the only one who accepts Nyaxia the goddess of vamps Sylina’s childhood was ruined by war & the vampire invasion unsettles her&her sisters

Odessa sendsJocelyn back w info for her dad saying she failed She decides she’s only getting info for herself now bc she can’t trust any1 else She is making her own map ofTurah which is illegal She realizesRansom is drawing a map on his wrist cuff She finds Random@the training center&yells at him His eyes turn Gold like hers hmm THEY FINALLY KISS YAS

GuardianEvie&Odessa are riding toTreow Guardian tells her more abt the lyssa infecting the animals giving them green blood Guardian was bitten&is only person infected Treow gets attacked by2 infected big cats Odessa saves a bunch of children TheVoster high priest tells the guardian that they tracked the lyssa is man made meaning some1 is infecting animals & attackingTurah Guardian letsOdessa help him find the person

I just want to put here that I am loving this book It is so difficult to put down because I just want to read on Odessa has so many questions that I want answered & everyone is so tight lipped abt information especially abt Allesaria&the king burning books She basically has nothing to tell her father & im happy abt that but that just shows how much there is to learn
Also this is a slow burn The tension ugh
cmon boi

The king burned books in this city too Odessa runs into Cathlin who I feel is up to something tho she is sweet Ashmore gets attacked by sick bariwolves Guardian fights them&Odessa helps Don’t know what the sickness is TheGuardian brings Odessa to Ellder She’s there alone but Evie keeps her company Evie takes her to a cave w scrolls ran by Cathlin Zavier&Guardian return Odessa resumes training

They make itTreow a treehouse camp thing&she settles in there w Tillia Zander leaves her there&theGaurdian sporadically leaves&returns Zander has a secret baby WOMPWOMP He is so quiet Odessa&Guardian has way more chemistry I hope thatGuardian is another prince bc I’m bored ofZander Odessa sneaks out ofTreow to a nearby town to get info onAllesaria bc no1 is giving her answers She makes it but theGuardian finds her

Randomly chosen to marry Zander Father gives her a spy mission to find Allesaria so he can find smth that will stop the migrations On boat to Turan & Zander finally speaks & the Guardian is always finding her & talking to her They save her from a marroweel The Guardian starts training her to fight They make it to land & ride horses to campsites

I did not care to read about Elias & Albert’s wartime stories so I skipped this part

Dora is able to scry toElias&tell him what’s happening LordHallowvale finds theDoras&Dora convinces him to host a ball Elias comes to the ball&duelsHallowvale Dora uses her scissors to killHallowvale Her other 1/2 becomes the LadyHallowvale&promises to free the children Dora wakes up&Elias proposes They live happily 1 day they disappear from England&go to faeriland to uniteDora&rule HallowHouse I liked the epilogue

Dora scry-ed herself into faerie & she meets her other half who is imprisoned by LordHallowvale They try to escape by finding a mirror In the faerieland there is a charity house like the one inEngland w a bunch of kids inside Dora can hearElias’ voice so she he thinks she has the sleeping sickness in the real world Dora findsJane who’s actually namedAbigail She tellsDora that they can use a bathtub to scrutinized

Elias sendsDora flowers the color of her eyes hm I think he has a crush Dora&Jennings investigate the children@the workhouses to find a root 4 the sickness Albert’s mom invitesDora to dinner Elias crashes&lashes out&has cognitive dissonance over being apart of high society that does very little for the poor He reveals toDora that he is 1/2 fae betHollowvale is his dad Dora is going to translate a French doc for him

I feel like Albert is going to get jealous that Dora isn’t interested in him & is spending so much time w Elias that he is going to do something evil if he isn’t already evil & causing problems but if he is he hides it well

Elias giftedDora a mirror she can use to divine w Ppl who have been to faerieland can divine bc 1/2 her soul is there She can use the mirror to talk to Elias Dora went wAlbert to a sick house&they find a child w sleeping sickness Albert&Elias are trying to cure it Elias comes to take the girl to an orphanage to treat her Dora&her chaperone follow Elias has white hair & is burned by iron like the faerie hmm

Dora has 1/2 a soul that a faerie stole so she’s weird She goes to London w her beauty cousin for the season to find the cousin a husband She goes out on her own&meets the Lord Sorcier Elias& his grind Albert who invites her to a ball Ppl want Dora&Albert together bc they both have smth wrong w them Dora’s cousin Vanessa tells Elias abt Dora’s soul&her lack of emotion&he plans to help cure her bc he is curious

Gargoyle finally tells his story They travel back toAisling&burst into theCathedral TheAbess is made all stone She grabsSybil&tries2drown her in between confessing2everything The group is able2pin her&Sybil kill’s her The group starts shattering theCathedral2get rid of the spring Things shatter&they run out Benji suddenly strikes Rory&Gargoyle He says Sybil will come w him2be his queen&he will let the 3 other go

Gargoyle shows them entrance to a cave RorySybil&Gargoyle travel a dark passage until they are rushed by water Rory loses his coin&stays back to search Sybil hears footsteps&moths like her dreams She follows them to a cavern One’s dead body is there untouched TheWeaver tells her story abt not liking being anOmem&hasSybil kill her She says her loom is@Aisling&says the gargoyle was the first diviner namedBartholomew

They travel to the Cliff of Bellinger to defeat the HeartsoreWeaver Everyone there is super kind&arent so zealous about the Omens Benji has been acting weird like the power is getting to his head Rory tells Sybil he would leave the knighthood to travel w her when everything is over Sybil finds the gargoyle on a cliff admiring the sunrise&she throws her shroud to the wind The town has a ceremony forBenji that is tame

Chapter 25 😭😭😭
I wish love like this happened in real life
I love Rory&Sybil together it’s so true when he tells her “You don’t like me when I’m a good knight, & you don’t like me when I’m bad”

So she looked at her eyes & they are white like stone like the Omens She gets worried that Rory left the bed bc he changed his mind but became back&reassured her that she’s nothing like the Omens
