In Obiteum, Netiqret is showing herself useful but not really trustworthy. Her and Vis both have something the other wants. She may have found a way for Vis to enter the Pyramid. On Res, Veridius ‘admitted’ to many things regarding Synchronism, the cataclysm, Ka and the lie about careors suicide. Also Diago is coming to Caren with Vis as a protector. What a legend.

On Res, Vis woke up in the infirmary and Verdisius told hume a lot about Lanistia Careror and Belli. In Obiteum, Vis walked the eastern city with Netriqret and learned the inner workings of everything. Shit is about to get real i can feel it.

In Res, Vis and Aequa went back to the ruins, with the good boy Diago, but it’s different. Vis stuck his hand to a pillar and enterrés a sort of painful trance where he was repeating words that didn’t come from him, similar to what Lanistia said. In Luceum, Vis is becoming accustomed to his life on Loch Tranela but still tgis weird pulsing is present. Also they describe the use of will as the thrill of battle.

In Res, Vis and Emissa went to speak to the ahuris prisoner, whos an iunctus, hmmm. The couple seemed to have talked out whatever grudges were left but still can’t fully trust each other. emissa and veridius were working together beforehand. Vis is on his way to speak to veridius. In Luceum, Vis is training hard but is by far the worst of the group. The students use will to fight somehow. Interesting….

Duat is crazy. Vis and Ahmose have succesfully traversée the western dis of the pyramid and found Netriqet. She’s very strange. She’s an assassin.

Goddamn that was a lot. The race chapter is one of my favourites so far. that was exhilarating. James’s writing is so enthralling i can’t take my eyes off the book in situations like that. although Aequa has become the quintus. hm. something really weird is brewing in the senate but it still puts Vis in a good spot. he’s gonna try to find out what happened to him during the Iudicium…

In Res, Vis has passed all his tests with considerable ease. However, his status as Dormitor was challenged by Iro’s father and he is now required to do an impromptu test. Over in Luceum, Vus fought that big ass fucker and somehow a spirit went through him and denounced the big fucker if murder. He is now being transported to to another « school » for warriors lol.

In Luceum, Vis was brought in front of the king and tried for his possession Cian’s staff. He is to be sent to a place where he will become a warrior. A weird sense that this was planned somehow. In Obiteum, Vis has managed to enter Duat without any gleaners being alerted. It seems like a horrific place. I’m enjoying this book sooooo much.

That was fckin intense, Gleaners showed up in Qabr in the middle of the night, trapping one inside. Vis managed to ‘connect’ with one and made him stab him to bring him in Duat. wtf. on Res, Vis is passing his placement with brio but the event is placed with the senate of governance and religion in attendance. Tgis points to a certain alliance and most importantly, Military isn’t there. Something is brewing…

The Hierarchy is so weird and unsettling. Not surprising for an oppressive government. Vis went through all these preliminary tests and is on his way to the Placement exam, it was been moved to a different place for some reason. Vis’s stunt to get Eidhin’s attention was pretty smart. Also that creepy guy with the scar… I don’t like him. And Adoption, that’s really interesting. Hmmmmm…
