I think this is new for this version but Helena inventing the manacles that later chain her is some damn cruel irony

”I’m going to take care of you (…). I swear I’m always going to take care of you”
These few chapters where they’re together and there’s no walls between them anymore and they can allow themselves to feel are genuinely some of the most heartbreaking in the story. Bcs I know everything that happens after. It’s like one little speck of light in a pitch dark ocean. It’s only getting worse from here

Damn so haven’t picked this book up in months and now that I finally did it’s rewarding me? Kain tells her clearly that he cares about her, they kiss, he tells her to use the ring to contact him whenever she wants ( mind you at the beginning of the arrangement he basically said he’d kill her if she burned him with the ring)
Very glad to be back to this story, pls give me a little more fluff before it all burns

Will shiseo’s story be like snape’s in manacled? I like him at least, I hope he doesn’t willingly join Morrough and I also hope he doesn’t die

Well damn, I also felt bad for Ivy for having to torture people and do crowther’s dirtywork. But clearly she’s having the time of her life

But it doesn’t collapse here… maybe they changed the scene a little. Bcs in manacled the tower definitely falls, maybe at a later time?

Oh I has forfotten this scene. Its so small but it really breaks my heart. Obviously its not the tower’s fault, everything that happened. And it’s not Helena’s either. The tower just fell, No big deal, if it hadn’t been for the symbolism she imbued each rock with. Everyone she wanted to protect, But placing Kaine’s rock on it, wanting to protect him too makes everything collapse.

The repeats!!!
”Shall I tell you everything I’ve done?”
”Do you want to?”
Eeeeeeeee

Well fuck
That’s what I get for speaking too soon thinking that Helena wouldn’t have to go through the repopulation program this time. Guess I was wrong. It feels almost worse that it would come now after she’s just started to feel a sliver of trust for him

It’s literal crumbs but they just got like tiny tiny bit of mutual understanding. Very satisfying. I really wanna read from Ferron’s pov I feel like the angst would be legendary
