Ok i think i see where this is going. Land vs Humans. Old gods vs gods of men

Umm… okay… hello to everyone thinking this book is flawless, what’s up with the p3dophilia and toxic age gaps here.
Like a 40 something year old taking a new wife (16 yo) to take care of the kids he already has. Right. But why bed her every night despite her freaking crying. What’s up with the abuse, huh???? MEN istg. Men are the issue. Just remove men from stories at this point, ugh.

Also another lil update. I know this could read like a fanfic bcs of the tropes and prefictable character interactions like come on Hamelin poor guy was there just to get the jealousy trope, we get enemies to lovers, we get she gets kidnapped he s getting her back, forced proximity. Anyway like a thousand tropes squeezed together. But the world building is so good that i can’t be mad

Screaming and kicking my feet

“You want to throw me down // And I, prideful, disdainful, godless want to drag you into the dirt with me”

😩 mind you this is in a religious faith vs heresy context. I deserve my place in Hell thanks 🙏

Okay i know the gargoyle is just a literary device for some philosophical monologue to take place, but he’s acting like a damn spoiled child, interrupting important dialogue and character dynamics. I swear to God i have seen side characters/ pets written way better than this. Annoying. If he doesn’t redeem himself till the end, by sacrifice preferably, book will lose at least one star

Okay yea fine freeing Avalon and seeing it bloom reminded me of that last scene in Kingdom of Ash with the flower blooming after the war. Pretty. Also a little inspiring. A little unrealistic happily ever after

Pushing through
