Chp10: no! Not a bad dog! And a mastiff!! Also Penny did a real solid there.

Chp9: omg Crutis *snaps fingers* your being Edmund, also love Prue morbid fantasy of her parents search for their children, including aged up photos. I was also an overly imagined melodramatic thinker kid too so i loved it.

I imagine its Prue who has the blood ties to the woods but since the dowager keeps saying Curtis looks familiar, i keep thinking it would be neat if its the deuteragonist instead

Chp8: Prue learns how to get the rooms attention while Curtis gets a tour and unwanted promotion

Chp7: Prue in city, Curtis you Edmund! (Well the confession was from being drunk, the suit of armor, next morning his weakness)

Chp6: Prue and postman talk to some birds and Curtis keeps his story close to the chest to no avail, dowager knew something was sus (Very Narnia like scene, loved it)

Chp-5 Curtis my boi!! Prue finally gets some answer about where she is. Old fashioned guns

Chp2 Girl my first thought would be to run away b4 my mom could kill me for losing my younger sibling.
Also respect Curtis, i also got in trouble for drawing too much in class

Chp1 not everyday your brother is abducted by a murder of crows. Wanted to read this since finding out Laika was making an adaptation so when the trailer came out i found the audiobook on Libby

Chp29 idk Mare maybe if you made one friend someone would be with you at your bothers funeral.

Of course the last chapter will be action scene no reflection or no resolution just action and a Cliffhanger

Omg i called it she would go to Maven for Cal, externally she said all but internally it was all Cal.

Chp28. A apparently there is a secret new blood kingdom somewhere. This is the part of the story where everybody just hates her, no differentiation of opinions everyone just angry at her. Only that silver dude talks to her. She talks to her family, dad doesn’t want her to go to the choke. Idk i hardly know these ppl bc Mave only focuses on Cal

Chp 27: Cal and Farley are kinda annoying at the start, of all ppl on that plane they cant judge her. CAL literally gave the “i was a soldier taking orders” crap and Farley, a rebel leader, cries over a relationship developed offscreen so i can’t sympathize with her loss at all. We found out they were something two chapters ago. Just feels like angst fuel for Mave

Chp27: the entire prison break is one long chapter. Cal is angry Mave kills silver soldiers begging Cal to save their lives (rly Cal). Mave seems to remember why the revolution was needed in prison.

Not surprised he died. He was always the get out of jail card power and was handicapped and underused most the book.

Chp24 so Cal is stupid, he forgot that newbloods powers are stronger and newer. Mave literally points out the obvious to him and is called a genius.

Mace says she misses Maven and it’s funny because she hardly thinks of him and when she does its distaste for him. She misses Cal when he is brooding in the room with her more than the boy she thought Maven was

Chp23: idk Mave maybe if you didn’t spend all your time avoiding the newbloods after recruiting them they would like you as much as Kilorn.

Honestly all of them feel like npc’s we don’t really know who they are outside just surface level facts and their use to the team. We don’t know their drive, their relationship to Mave, each other, how they feel about being new-bloods, nothing. Just their use each chp.

Chp22: Another chp that thinks its profound and saying something. Mare feels very ooc

I also just found Mave funny for thinking a 15 year old as incredibly young when she is 17 and they literally met a child who can control death, Cameron is just an off switch for powers.

Chp21: gray man seer John. Chapter fun take of the seer types, but kinda rolled my eyes at all the “you are the special” treatment Mave gets, she is a leader and face due to media attention , but her powers aren’t all that special. I feel like we’ve met people with more powerful or intriguing powers at this point. Her biggest influence is Maven’s obsession with her.

Chp 20. Maven letters, more characters we are just told about, meet the grey man seer

Chp 19. This was either the first chapter without Cal or the first chapter that didn’t drop his name every paragraph

Chp18: ugh

3rd ML syndrome

Chp17: Title drop. Bren 4 days Ava is here but we don’t meet her. (Mave upset she isn’t a fighter) she has lightning scars and a M brand down her neck. Cal says Maven is hunting her not newbloods. They hug.

This is the 3nd(?) chapter where Mave passes out in the last and wakes up later somewhere else

kilorn calls Mave a mama duck and to stop worrying, Thank You! Omg girl acts like grown oppressed people are not equip to make their own decisions like to make the choice to fight for a better life.

Chp16: 2 thoughts.
Why is Cal the only one who knew it was a trap, it was the most blatant trap i’ve ever read, but Shade and Farley didn’t sense it (Mave missing it was believable to me)
OMG Mavin is here!

Chp15 long chapter, some annoying thoughts but mostly action.

I feel like I forgot something from the last book because when the book kept saying Cal and Mave can’t touch. I assume it’s because of their feelings, but seems to be implying more that they enhanced each other‘s powers, and i know fire can conduct electricity, but it’s not the best one.

Got the names and Cal threw them into the castle library

Cal, the silver ex crown prince a “hypocrite”? Because he’s uncomfortable killing silvers, but less with reds. Who has not made one but a couple of racist comments just in this book alone. Mave try so hard to say Cal is on their side while knowing perfectly well he’s there on a revenge mission to kill his brother. A hypocrite, ugh girl

I’m not even a Cal fan (sorta can’t stand him) but what Mave said to Cal was so mean “that life is gone Cal it shouldn’t make you happy anymore” GIRL he killed his dad like 4 days ago, his brother betrayed him, and he is on the run, he can’t flip that emotional trauma in that short time. He knows his happy memories are ruined, sounds like you’re rubbing it in. Thought you liked him.

Chp 14 Actually liked this one, hope this momentum keeps up.

So far enjoying chapter, action driven, poor Shade but Mare does need to push the mission forward, great emotional moment that reminded me hy i liked her in the last book. Also, Mare finally admits she just wants to keep Cal bc she likes him.
