I’m sorry but this is gonna be bullshit to deal with😅 also “he’s tiny” is bullshit reasoning for why this should work

I shall call the past ten pages “Who Can Monologue The Most At The End Of The Book So That Saeris Comes Up With A Weird Plan Eventually”.

I think my main issue with this book so far stems from Saeris feeling like a passive character. Things are happening to or for her, but she herself (on her own merit) has had little to do with advancing any plot. A bummer, since she was a relatively active protagonist in Quicksilver.

Talk about haunting a narrative

I’m sorry that entire scene was SO cringey, my god😅

…he probably…would’ve…gotten the message if you’d JUST KILLED THE BASTARD?😀 I call plot contrivance! Ref! Plot contrivance!

Prediction:
Almost everyone is gonna have to go back to Belikon as a slave because they’re oathsworn… except for Carrion, of course. He and Saeris are gonna have to save the day together at some point.

Every time Hayden is on the page, warning bells flash through my mind

“I prefer my women and my men”— so you’re telling me Carrion x Lorreth is a viable option? Fucking KNEW it.

Begging her to start at least one chapter without an anecdote.
