I keep going back and forth on whether I like Schaffa or not, and I feel like that’s intentional. Just because he saved Damaya does not make him a good person. Also, how is it that this 1 city has survived every earthquake? That seems way too suspicious. Orogenes are so persecuted and ostracized, but I bet they’re saving that city every time because someone is making them. There’s corruption somewhere.

Damn, so they really are all the same person. That’s brilliant. Like genuinely I’m so shocked but at the same time I totally see it. I love that now that we know Essun is Syenite that sarcasm is really coming out. She’s repressing the person she turned into when she became Essun and is becoming more of her real self. Or I guess her fulcrum self (who knows who her real self is at this point)

Alright damn, I did not see it coming at Damaya and Syenite were the same person. And now, I feel like maybe Essun is also the same person. That each different POV is just the same person in different stages of their life. I don’t think Jija is alabaster so maybe syenite gets sent out of the fulcrum for exploring. Idk, but I’m so confusing and intrigued.

Is there no moon?????? Is that what that means?
Also holy shit, is every chapter going to be this devastating from now on? Because what am I reading? It’s so horrible, and sad, and uncomfortable, but at the same time why can’t I stop now? I need to know how this ends/gets better and how all of the characters get their happy endings (if they don’t get happy endings I’m suing for emotional distress)

HE LOVES HER?!?!?! SHE’S A CHILD AND YOU JUST BROKE HER HAND AND GASLIT HER??!?!
I haven’t been this mad or disgusted with a character in a while. Might have to take a break after this chapter.

I’m 5 pages later and holy shit I hate Schaffa. God the end of this chapter is so uncomfortable and awful. The way he’s breaking her hand and the way he’s gaslighting her into believing he can, and should do it is making me a little sick. “Never say no to me” has me wanting to literally throw a punch through this page.

Holy shit what an intro. Then the beginning has thrown me off with the writing style, but I’m finally starting to get it. There’s a whole bunch of extremely different characters that I think is going to be super interesting to follow their journeys. I feel like they’re building to where they will all meet, or at least their journey will affect someone else’s. I also have so many questions. Like, so many.
