RIP calder, holy shit. black rikke it is, then. im a bit confused by his last words, as if there was another heir to bethods throne. perhaps that one boy who was fighting like a menace when clover first reencountered calder. ALSO CLOVER IS THE MENACE HE ALWAYS WAS AND THATS AMAZING, he should get the steepfield name back. this whole battle was simply incredible, rikke was so smart! i really didnt see any of it coming

ITS HAPPENING, THEYRE RESTORING THE MONARCHY! and i have a feeling their plan will work out, especially with pike siding them and the mob growing bored of judge. just hope they manage to stop savine from suffering the long drop (why did sulfur denounce her to selest? doesnt he want orso back on the throne?) bayaz keeps making such weird alliances with these folk past the crinna.. i fear rikke knows something we dont.

whatever has happened to leo... fucking hell, when did he become this big of a self-centered bastard? putting savine's life at risk like that is just INSANE considering he has two newborn babies at home. i hope he follows vick's plan with the people's army and all. i also love what a merry company she managed to put together. is corleth perhaps a traitor? how did calder know of hardbread that early? rikke cant die!!

FINALLY VICK SNAPPED OUT OF IT AND NOTICED SHE HAS TO STAND WITH THE LOSERS FOR ONCE. there would be no winners by the end of this madness, after all. i fear she'll offer one of those chairs to leo (which would frustrate orso but be knows how to swallow his pride well enough. i love him a whole lot). savine and leo have changed so much.. the pain of failure makes it all clear, i suppose. BROAD CRACKED JUDGE (finally)

what was i thinking? expecting clover to stand with rikke when the winner for now is very clearly calder — especially with bayaz siding him. the kings he crowned might have fallen, but the magus managed to crown them in the first place. what is rikke doing, treating bayaz with such little respect and playing with her life like that? and savine too, denying sulfy so abruptly. THE BURNERS ARE MONSTERS MAN, im scared.

what even are pike's motives? i begin to doubt whether he is the weaver or perhaps its a certain cripple that's ordering this shit done. leo is literally so gay for jurand their interaction was AMAZING and perfectly done, i need them to kiss urgently tbh. EVERYONE HAIL CORPORAL FUCKING TUNNY, offering my dearest orso a shred of hope. judge in power, that doesnt sound too good.. where is bayaz, to give us all a hand?

leo is the best closeted gay character ive ever read about, and i love him for that. even savine realized her husband is gay with the way he keeps addressing their babies as HER babies only. and he's becoming very similar to glokta, which is kinda cool. clover is awesome, but he should stay loyal to rikke (dont blame him though). HEAR ME OUT: PIKE IS NOT THE WEAVER. he's following orders. glad orso is still alive yum

what sort of great change is this? where it matters more whether you take down walls or not over the well being of the people? FOLK WHO ARE HUNGRIER THAN THEYVE EVER BEEN. where the fuck is bayaz to snap some reason into these people? why the fuck are they considering leo a martyr? i love him, dont get me wrong, BUT HES A NOBLEMAN. whats the great difference between fucking risinau and gorodets? NONE! THEYRE THE SAME

ive never been this nervous in my whole entire life, especially when reading a book. im all in with the working class, as a communist myself, but i stand with the proletarian only in a real-life scenario. now, with MY BOY ORSO nearly facing death, im deeply rooting for bayaz to pop up with some magical device that ends this. he set this system up, didnt he, must have a soldier. I DONT KNOW HOW ORSO WILL OUTLIVE THIS.

idk the dialogue is weird but everything involving detective sam is pretty awesome. spawn is an incredible character and i love the concept of him being a son of hell 🙌 need him to start using brute force n all that shit

this is fun. the art is amazing ans the VIOLATOR is a character i genuinely really like (and idk why). not to mention spawn himself, he's so cool even when he sits and does nothing yk

oh my... this was intense. i knew clover was gonna betray stour at some point, just didnt think he'd do it now and do it SO WELL. his little speech? shivers' poking? that was all AMAZING AND THE NORTH AT ITS ESSENCE (which i thoroughly enjoyed). not being dramatic but i would die for orso, he's a hell of a character. I CANT HAVE LEO DYING, tho i feel bad for his loss of leg. i honestly dont feel sympathy for savine.

oh. rip antaup and jin, im glad jurand was safe in that aspect at least. i was rooting for orso all along, for his political success and improvised plans, and im very happy the lamb did eat the lion in the end (im suprised jappo didnt get involved), but i really dont want leo to die. this whole coup was wrong, but he has a good heart. i wonder what stour will think of carleon once he turns, with tricky rikke and all

god orso is me and as much as i hate myself as fiercely as he does, he will forever be a character i'll defend at all costs. his dinner with leo showed me that theyre opposites, the warrior and the politician, each with interests of their own. i have no idea how leo didnt bloody snap out of it and notice he's surrounded by snakes, savine being the biggest among them (wheres jurand to give him sense?) pike being nice!

clover is so damn quotable, not to mention he is quite literally my animal spirit in most situations (headaches, a lot of humming, no promises...) stour and leo will never get along man, theyre both too full of pride to manage a healthy alliance (and if they lose it will all be worse lmao). goddd leo needs his jurand, even savine noticed! imagine if she gave birth during battle? vick is awesome, shes talented as fuck

oh, glokta resigned. really wasnt expecting that, not now, but i say fair enough. even if i thoroughly enjoyed his time as the fearsome cripple, he deserves some minimal peace in his life. pike is menacing enough to be arch lector! i also enjoyed seeing orso not being depressed and finding purpose in his life (he deserves to be happy, my boy). i dont trust judge, i dont trust the burners and their message is twisted

LEO IS GAY. we all saw the way he was about to kiss jurand in that damn balcony if antaup hadnt interrupted them. he states he "NEEDED JURAND". we all saw how he kept staring at jappo and became aroused? which, by the way, the styrian king sounds like great company. him and orso were flirting, prove me wrong. he cant back leo on his little campaign tho, for his own sake. i need leo to be ok with jurand my couple waah

YORU MY BOY HE'S BECOMING WITTIER WITH EVERY MOMENT, BOLDER ABOUT BAYAZ'S CONTROL OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING. who's the traitor in the closed council? who sent the note? i kinda think rikke did it, i know she has some sort of betrayal plan going on together with the nail. savine's outrageous proposal of uffrith to stour is crazy wtf. JAPPO AND ORSO NEED TO SEE THAT INTERACTION RIGHT NOW (vitari's child grew up damn)

YORU FUCKING SULFUR, THAT WAS A HELL OF A SHOW HE PUT ON THERE. we all know he's growing wittier and bolder, especially when bayaz isnt around, but i really didnt expect him to FEAST ON HUMAN FLESH in front of HIGH KING OF THE UNION ORSO THE FIRST. im not sure i trust stour, even if his discussions with leo didnt even start properly lol. rikke and the nail will make an interesting pair, maybe a rock on savine's way

rikke is moving like dow himself, back then, when he was protector of the north. making men fight in the circle? TRICKING ONE OF THEM TO DUEL WITH CAUL SHIVERS? i say fair enough (will defend her forever as i love her). she (and stour) now needs to stop leo and savine, somehow make their plan fail. honestly, i love leo and savine, but i just cant have glokta or orso dying or losing their titles. fuck the open council

the dogman is back to the mud and when i tell u i wont ever cope with the fact the toughest dozen is now over, im not lying. shivers and rikke will become even more like father and daughter. i fucking hate stour nightfall, he cant even respect the dogman's passing. leo is stupid, he cant commit treason against the closed council (and he's gay for jurand). SAVINE BACK AT HER PRIME YES. tunny gave orso decent advice

oh god savine and leo are kinky asf. how quickly can one go from planning treason against the crown to getting hard from being hit in the face by his a lot older wife? tho i must admit, savine HAS to teach leo something about politics... he wont be so eager to overthrow orso when the inquisition comes knocking on his door. i feel bad for orso. i feel bad for glokta. i feel bad for rikke, too, not to mention shivers.

ok no leo and savine are about to be a ridiculous unhealthy couple yet beneficial for their reputations. I CANT BELIEVE CAURIB IS BACK, that bitch just couldnt stay dead.. i mean, as long as she fixes rikke's long eye and she doesnt die, im happy. if stour goes after the dogman, im haunting him down myself istg. SHENKT AND VITARI ARE BACK, i wonder why they simply let vick go. fucking bayaz. i love happy shivers!

damn, vick was smart on that one. love how she can quickly change appearances as an inquisitor, but yet her best work always involves violence somehow. i bet that assassin wasnt shenkt and was actually someone she had hired. poor leo, but we all knew his downfall would come at some point. things never stay well for anyone in this world. CLOVER AND SHANKA AND A DOZEN. I'M HAPPY. who tf is that witch rikke saw? caurib?

orso learning how horrible the closed council is really troubles me, as he's soon gonna become just like jezal (but he happens to be more aware of the world than him). poor savine has really gone down the pit, she's really vulnerable because of what happened in valbeck and people notice that (AND SHE'S PREGNANT). broad is like a personal practical, and no strength or bodyguard can protect vick if she's facing shenkt

LOCKE CANT BE THE UNSUB SHES LIKE THE ONE CHARACTER I ACTUALLY LIKE WHAT THE FUCK. also, michael cant fucking die, as much as i find him to be a bit annoying from time to time and actually prefer cassie with dean over him. theyre both in a competition to know who has more trauma accumulated tho... actually, all of the naturals seem to be doing that. the investigation aspect of this book is pretty good not gonna lie

the characters still kinda suck (even if i really like the adults and LIA MY GIRL), but they have decent enough personalities and pasts when theyre alone. cassie should 100% get with dean (even if I find any romance she might have with anyone a bit stupid all in all), theyre trauma bonding or whatever tf they call that. i have so many questions.. why is the unsub obsessed with cassie's mother? who is he?

these characters are all so annoying wtf (apart from the adults tbh, as in judd, briggs and locke), they're all the definition of stereotypes and their dynamic kinda sucks 'cause wdym both dean and michael are already deeply in love with cassie when she's been around for a month (and lia is right there, yk?$

none of the characters — other than briggs and judd — seem too compelling to me. they all follow very obvious stereotypes and that "weird" standard we usually see in those portrayed as super smart or possessing a special ability, which is the case of our naturals here. the plot, 'till now, is investing enough, and i'm genuinely curious to know who the "you" chapters told by!
