I’m sobbing. I’m heartbroken. I’m mourning. My cheeks are wet and I don’t think I’m going to recover because Chumana is dead and it may be the most devastatingly beautifully written thing I’ve read. The dragon who stands for honour and change and everything Viv needed to forgive herself. She called Vivian by her name and died with acceptance and swallows sleeping with her. She is Chumana.

What the actual heartbreaking hell. The translators gift and curse : The language is untranslatable due to its original emotion and meaning lost. Viv is having a crisis over her whole purpose. Wyverns are dying with all their trust lost. The sky is on fire. War has begun. Chumana is captured and hurt while Daria who looks suspiciously like our favourite pink dragon has come to their aid.

The wyverns definatly have something their hiding and I can’t decide whether something tragic that will rip my heart out is about to happen or something hopeful will be unveiled. All I know is that their language is so incredibly meaningful that it precedes anything anyone has seen before.

It’s actually insane how much information has been hidden from Viv when she could be the rebellions greatest asset and I hate how her and Chumana fought, the only thing that makes up for it is finding the wyverns. They’re so cultured it’s amazing with their love for arts and literacy and I love how they nicknamed her dear one like she’s not just a tool to be used for the war but someone to hold close.

Viv’s becoming an integral part of the war, using languages as her weapons, gaining political titles : The swallow (a symbol of hope) or as the dragons call her (Brass-tongue). Love Chumana and Viv, utterly adore their relationship, Viv being roommates with a badass pink dragon who keeps her warm at night. Honourable mention to the audiobook narrator who voices the dragons so incredibly.

Seth doesn’t get enough credit for his emotional intelligence, he was so cute with little Luca, it was adorable.

Gabriel’s perspective is actually heartbreaking, he literally has the weight of the entire world on his shoulders and he’s terrified of disappointing everyone, even while still healing from pain. (though it’s made slightly more bearable by Leon and his ridiculously hopeful comments that overpower all their fears.)

Despite getting actually shivers at learning there is an unbalance of fate and the guild stones are needed once more to right it and all the other magical bullshit prophecies I’m more interested in Darcy and Lance getting freaky in an ancient library, being a cute nerdy book couple pissing everyone off and Lance not giving a crap.

Finally all twelve guild stones reunited! I freaking love Lance as Guild Master and just being an absolute nerd but some of the best parts of this mini quest were seeing some really underrated duos together. Lance and Seth (Moon friends forever). Darius and Darcy banter and bittersweet conversations about The Veil. Caleb and Tor. And all the nicknames they have for each other (little shrew, Phoen).

I really missed the banter between everyone and it was sweet seeing the dream team together for the FIB heist especially with the chaos : the fire, Leon being outraged at being left behind, tor and lance basically high and the return of little shrew nicknames. But what made this really special was Seth finally admitting his love for Caleb (I’ve been waiting so long for that), I mean he gave him the sky.

Darius and Lance continue to be the best duo of the entire series and Darius is just fucking with everybody with all the behind the scenes secrets he now knows from beyond The Veil but it’s so sweet to see the entire dream team back together.

Everyone reuniting with Darius and exchanging stories of The Veil is the most adorable thing ever, especially Lance and Darius (best duo ever), like they are both so sassy and terrifying and cute at the same time.
