"For us to respect you, you have to respect us"

Whuuuuttt??! This sentence is so disturbing on so many levels especially for a parent to say to a child.

A lot of this book has been rather disturbing so far and I am wondering why I am even continuing.

Stop calling her "partner" in every other sentence already 😑😑😑😑 we get it

Took me long enough to realise hes the brother. Tsk.
Also. It took this long to actually be more interesting. Guess political fantasy's really not my thing

Ohhhhhh is sigrud the lost pirate prince?

Or maybe I am thinking too small. Maybe she might be the king even or a khanum

Ohhhh is Ana a hidden counsul?

Ngl, some of the suspicions came about when Gorthaus was murdered. After all he was the only one who was by himself the whole time without an alibi

Oh my! What a twist! I definitely didn't see THAT coming.

Who else is left and who could it be who could have poisoned the King's drink. My suspicions are that in this instance, it's the most obvious person with the highest chance. No trickery because so far it's been like the magician's slight of hand redirecting gazes left and right. Now it's only. Why

Such a weak and inept prince to the point that it kinda seems suspicious.

Been meaning to say this since the last book. But the leviathans are giving Attack of Titans vibes.

Beatrice is such a piece of work (-.-)"""" utterly selfish.

Super heart warming that Beric and friends made Theo part of their group during the party. They're really sweet

Cant believe i went from having enough of Theo being spoiled and wanting to dnf if nothing was gonna happen other than theo being theo.... to now rooting for her.

Gal's got quite a tongue on her (snarky, smart mouthed and hilarious) which i appreciate rather than a blushing / retreating wall flower.

Love it and and charging through the book with determination!

Meh. The first 25% of the book dragged on 😞
However I am glad to have persevered. It's now getting interesting and glad to see snarky, spoiled Theo being more than just the wicked step sister. That bits of the what was and could have been are starting to peek out. Also starting to see Beatrice ("cinderellla") isn't miss perfect either!

Hahaha so I was wrong! ☠️

I suspect either the postmaster the culprit who releasedthe works killing vine, else he's her dad's old friend. Whoever the culprit is, is likely someone her dad knows

Whutttt now Caz is okay to sort through wood for the shelves? He did know what wood is... right *sweat drop*

Caz treasuring books made me lol. I mean... does he know what books are made of *sweatdrop*. And to think he fears goats and rabbits and herbivores *lol*

Hadrian's not very smart when it comes to Millieficient *eye roll* and I would have thought he would have been more worldly wise than this. It is not even knightly behaviour, or even stupidity or puppy love (can it even be called that when Hadrian's more like an old dog than a puppy?)

The scene at the Blue Parrot feels so much like the scene just before the Titanic went down in the movie.

Albert's such a smooth operator and scammer, he makes me lol at his audacity. Well played m'lord

"The professor glared at the hooded man and added in a louder, reproachful tone, “I had expected him to actually greet you and introduce himself like any civilized person would"

Deceased from laughing so hard 🤣🤣🤣 poor hadrian to be saddled with Royce, the uncivilised. And Pickles the also uncivilised

Pickles is utterly adorable. He reminds me of the enthusiasm of a golden retriever pup!

[Spoiler]

Much as I like how Bryce is written as a person. What i personally really don't like so far over this series is how relationships are being treated... this series falls under roman-tasy, and honestly it's hard to get behind the romance when it feels oh-so-casual, formed with love professed and then trashed oh so easily. First with kara-ryan-mzatal then with Jill-zack/zaakar-bryce. No commitment at all. Meh

[Spoiler with Super wild guess?]



Who is Carl? Or maybe what is Carl? Is it possible he's an ekiri that came to earth? I mean the ekiri did leave the demon world after all, and earth's pretty close. His words were really cryptic (in your face, not very subtle... but still cryptic).

The mole hole plot.... oh the mole hole plot. Lololol.

Re-reading it didn't make it any less funny the second time. Heh heh

I outright lol-ed at the cameo mention of Kitty Pong 🤣

Before Pacific rim, there are other mecha shows and animes. Comparing this to Pacific Rim isn't really that accurate. But I guess its one of the most recent. I personally feel Rebel Moon was probably inspired by many past hits

- Saikano (She the Ultimate Weapon)... likely less tragic (at least I hope so!) But just as melancholy
- Gundam Seed, where the philosophy behind war is touched on
- 5th Element and Code Geass

Oh, my guess was rather spot on 😅
