Seriously. Why are these setups so untrustworthy? So you go and find the kings relic because he’ll kill you if you don’t. Guess what. He’ll kill you when you do too.

(Though I don’t think that relic is actually going to be used by the Sultan)

But also Halla is me in like every fantasy novel when my inner fuck you id rather be dead comes out. I’m here for it!

“I am the servant of the sword,” he said. “I obey the will of the- great god, woman, put on some clothes!”

Istg Raeve just fucking talk to Kaan. Please.

Ok, Liri and not Leery #audiobookproblems #iknowhowtosayitevenificantspellit

Also this is starting to remind me of TOG a bit in that… this feels more like a big fantasy epoch with all these interconnected stories and plots than a standard fare romantasy.

How am I feeling sorry for both Leery and Slatra. 😭

Unfortunately I did read a spoiler that the dominance stuff continues in this book just with a different partner and now I’m dreading actually reading this book. Why are powerful women always written as submissive?

“Just how would Alpha Stark treat a filthy little princess?”

Sigh. I’m really not cut out for some of this shit. Because that quote is not it for me.

Damn it. If Stark has someone else I’ll be highly annoyed.

Oh Kaiso. What an idiot. Why would the sigail marked worked with their suppressors?

Oh god this chapter (20) is making me so nervous. Is the emperor really dead?

Whooooooo boy. Not my usual type of book, I anticipate a slow read. Interesting format. Sybil is… very judgmental. Honestly she kind of reminds me of my grandma. I loved my grandma but god damn she could be harsh.

I said I didn’t want to feel bad for Andreas. I do. But he failed Caspia. Not by killing her but by shutting out his daughter.

I’m just now realizing king Cross wants to kill Ransom because he’s the silver eyed warrior who killed Emry.

“It had started with water”

That’s why Caspia and Xandra got sick when they first came to Calandra, they drank the water.

Also, Luella’s claim that the monsters had magic is making more sense. They do have magic, corrupted magic, from the water.

But why are the “humans” not affected by corrupted magic?

“Of all the women in this realm, it had to be you”

Sir you chose her.

If one of the orbits is in Allesaria and that’s what King Cross is trying to find, is the reason Mae was supposed to the Sparrow because she was more expendable than Odessa? Though it doesn’t excuse his absolutely shitty treatment of Odessa.

A waterfall in Ozarth that falls into a giant hole? Did Odessa already find an Orbit?

Okay, just going with the assumption that Caspia and Andreas are Odessa’s parents. Clearly Caspia has shared with Andreas about the magicians and the orbits and destroying them to free Calandra. And that’s probably what he wants to find in Allesaria. But that still doesn’t explain why he’s so terrible to Odessa. Especially since it seems Caspia failed and Odessa will be needed to find the Orbits..

Is the sickness everyone gets while sheltering in the tunnels related to Lyssa?

Ahhhh when will Odessa find Caspia’s book and resources (I’m even more sure it’s her mother, thanks Gable!)

I cannot reconcile the vile King Cross to Andreas.

Green Blood. I mean this is probably not that shocking given all the other mentions of enhanced hearing and fast healing etc, but I’m not at all surprised. I’m guessing the one-eyed bariwolf is Xandra. Which obviously means Luella didn’t create Lyssa.

Oh wait, the gold king does have a son. But also no joy.

Andreas and a son? Maybe he’s not Odessa’s father? Yes, I’m obsessing.

Is Caspia a sibling? But the timing still doesn’t quite fit.

Kind of hoping Casios and Andreas are not Odessa’s parents though because the Gold Kimg is a conniving asshole.
