This book GOT the juice. We get introduced to the more morally sound, but not naive, aristocrats running Dagoska. Kahdia represents the marginalized, Eider the economy she was forced into upholding. Framing these around Glokta's crisis of humanity is absurdly good. They're all trapped in the politics required to keep their interests. That, and Glokta's got torture. But hey! He saved a girl... but she's now a servant.

Juvens Christ had 12 disciples, Gayass was one of them and there was another one, Khalul, who ATE, QUEEN.
I could vividly picture the scene between Ferro and Logen talking each other down from being runaways (like Kanye)

Mofo Bayaz really said Jezal Christ is "easily tricked by flim-flam and quick hands" in the middle of his lecture on history and politics. Gayass is my favorite old man expo dumper, he should teach me politics.

Can't wait for Glokta to delude himself into believing he's unbiased and rational about Carlot dan Eider. Then he internal monologues himself into oblivion, making a big ass mistake. This weekend Carlot will be played in my brain by Rachel McAdams, unga bunga.

Nah why'd this chapter genuinely get me good? Laying out a premise for West, setting up the politics, introducing a likeable boss, then making me believe he was genuinely boutta die, only to realize the kidnappers are familiar homies??
- Boss Burr also likes driving (riding), I feel.
- Kidnapping people to ally with them is like roofieing someone to safely tuck them into bed. I approve neither.

Dogass finds his crew through the Mist in a war-torn land, then goes to lobby to serve some King. None of that is relevant to my insight: the way Dogass and crew investigated the dead bodies was like a superior version of that one crime scene investigation in Fast and Furious (4).
