waiiit so is Ivy one of the twins in the very beginning at Aurelia's party? and is Sofia the one trailing after her dazedly because she is a reanimated necrothrall from Morrough??

also just wanna say that Aurelia, Mandl, and Morrough are all absolutely the most PERFECT names for those characters and their personalities!!!!

Poor freaking Lila. I love her so much and feel so bad for her right now.

Also I still think of her as a fiery ginger lol, like icy pale blond hair always in a braid crown makes me think Hel from ember in the ashes and its not very Lila-y in my mind. (But also Helena is nicknamed Hel by Luc and they mention Shrikes once and there's a character named Enid referenced occasionally. That stuff throws me off.)

Finally someone died

Pacing could be better but I'm attached to the characters now since it diverges a lot from manacled

Why did it take this long to get to the plot

I mean i guess there's a ton more world building and explanation necessary than in manacled but still

This would definitely be a bit confusing if I hadn't read Manacled, and I'm translating the characters to their original counterparts. Luc to Harry, Grace to Hannah, just so I understand who they are and their backstories. I was also confused by all the alchemy terms but I somewhat get them now. At least I understand vivimancy, necromancy, necrothralls, and transmutation, but not tranference, liches, or animancy
