Finally the two main characters are in speaking terms with each other...

Can't wait until the 2 main characters get along as friends...

Future BR notes: I can see this book being a movie, each scene feels like a dream, and mists in each scene change. The author writes 3 different worlds so seamlessly and vividly (reality, performance, and fantasy world), and in different POVs that fills in alot of blanks. The villains are aptly named Terrors, their power so terrible and vicious, you'd hope they get overthrown soon & you emphatize with the ppl there.

Geezus, the emperor is so vicious. I hope he dies soon. I can see why no one likes him. His whole family is messed up!

Araya the drunk and the assassin. Keema the outcast rebel. Can't wait to see how these two develops.

This book reads like a whimsical fairytale, so smooth in its writing/storytelling. Very poetic in its prose. Pretty good so far, the story is really engaging. The worldbuilding unravels the mystery little by little.
Still unsure if it's all just a dream or if it's actually reality, both is woven so seamlessly into the story.
