A big old lore drop and one of the most disgusting scenes I’ve ever read, amazing

This book is a rollercoaster of exciting and boring

Tbh I’m a little bored with Alise rn, I want the final conflict with Hest and the duke and Selden and the dragons plzzzz

Selden and Chassim could be a power duo, I hope they form a friendship

Hooray more flying and Hest is in deep shite

Fun when I get the Shakespeare references, annoying when I don’t

Wtf was that Alise chapter. Needing the Chalcedon plot line immediately

Most exciting part so far has been Leftrin having all the knolwedge of the expedition and the council wanting in on it

Always love a trader council meeting scene. Hobb is clever. Although this one felt a little bit on the nose in a “the whole store clapped” kind of way

Loving this exploration and explanation payoff of the memories

A very tense scene with Hest, honestly refreshing to read from his POV after listening to Sedric and Alice talk about him constantly. Not sure how I feel about characters from liveship traders getting chapters, it feels like we’re waking the dead. Spooky city exploration too, they are def not alone here. You’re telling me Rapskal left that fire there? Nope nope nope

Classic 100 pages of recap and just a sprinkling of new

Bruh why is she doing Selden so dirtyyyyy. I love ancient civilizations being rediscovered, certainly scratching an itch

A very intriguing new POV…

Dang this is getting sad

Got some predictions right. But what is the deal with their school?

Okay they’re being quarantined or something. We just keep talking about pencil cases and little personal moments… what’s behind it

Very intriguing so far. Trying to piece together all the ambiguous clues we’re given

God all the boys in this book are being insufferable

Really bold to immediately come on to someone that just tried to self delete

Yessss it finally happened. Now to see if guilt eats them alive or not

I like how a theme is finding a new life for yourself and how we’re getting the good and bad sides of it

Damn how are so many people so dense? I’m loving how stubborn Thymara is being though, Greft is being gross

If Sedric doesn’t do something drastic with Jess I’m gonna be pissed

Flood moment! I think this series suffers from too large a cast of characters? The main ones are fine but there are just so many extras that have only been mentioned once

Alise and Thymara gotta be friends. I like the tension between arrogant dragons and people
