Im back to being hooked in this story. The Changeling and the Sword and all of upgrades and strength Archeth has gained! Everything with the royals and the cabals and humans trying to find a new king/queen and the Dwenda trying to bring back the Changeling prince. So so so much happening. The Helmsmen being evil and apparently Still hiding their true power. The Dark Court also having their own goals. A new god???

Still upset about Egar…there’s GOT to be more to it than that. He died in the Kiriath Wastes in the old Aldrain city, maybe that means something.

A DRAGON!!

I keep coming in and out with this. Im into it and loving the lore and then I get out of it and Im disinterested. That first book had me HOOKED, idk what the specific change is. Gotta finish this though.

They wanna make Archeth THE EMPRESS! Truly, fuck yes like she’s Kiriath AND Human, she’s not immortal but fuckinng basically. She follows the Kiriath mission to elevate humanity. Omfg, GIVE HER THE CROWN. Jihral’s an evil lil bitch anyway.

Yah these glyphs Ringil unlocked and the warning Hjel gave him…our boy really might end up Being the changeling end up being the prophecy he’s been trying to stop. Goddamnit.
Least we’re finally getting real answers out of the helmsmen, Anasharal only being a PIECE of a helmsman this whole time was wild. And for a while I thought they were like AI but theyre actually DEMONS, crazy work Mr K Morgan.

First of all Gil and Hjel, sex scene. Hot. Into it.
Secondly, Hjel KNOWS shit. Gil really might end up being this “black mage”. We’ve talked about time travel and the way its perception is different in the grey places, Hjel might be training Gil to be the very thing that destroyed/destroys his family. And these jars? They mean stuff…and with Gil not being able to hear anything in them anymore…

The jars Gil found in the grey places ARE the talons of the sun, the weapon no one was actuaaly seen.
