Aaaand the one thing I dreaded and was obviously gonna happen has happened.

Spoilers, I guess?

What the hell kind of animals are these that being saved as a puppy, an interaction that lasted all of 30-40 minutes, creates a resigned but deep sacrificial bond? There better be some sort of magical element to this thing cus if not it’s just the most plot hole riddled nonsense in an otherwise meticulously thought out book.

There were a handful of ways this could have played out and I’m annoyed because I wanted it to be anything else.

I would like Vis to abandon any and all schemes he’s caught up in with any and all parties and just absolutely massacre every single person in this castle. And then I want him not to lose a wink of sleep over it. I want him to go relax on the beach and breathe the salty sea air.

Also, this is what Pierce Brown thought he was doing with Red Rising and missed by a mile. I said what I said.

I genuinely like Callidus and I really want him to be sincere in his friendship with Vis and not playing a part for the politics outside of the academy.

A welsh inspired language appearing after I’ve been in the Roman trenches is so gosh darn refreshing 😅

I have been struggling with the cast system nomenclature because Sextus and Septimus are surnames in tlt. Just when I’ve almost got it straight in my head, out pops a character named Magnus Quintas? Do you think this is a game? Am I a joke to you?

How do we already have a Sextus and a Septimus. At this rate I’m just waiting for adepts of all 9 houses to materialize.
