AND RUKO OHH MY GOD ! and neema and tala..my goats.. im sorry for being mean to you sol my poor solitary bird OHH MY GODD THEY PROTECTED HIM!! still need to know what happened to fenn my goat my close and personal friend

tala my close and personal friend!! & ruko’s character development is SO interesting to me!! AND THATS MY EMPRESS NEEMA HOOLY FUCK even if the court was being dumb about it AND HELLO WHAT? WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO [character spoiler] DOWN THERE?? AND HELLO? love the way this book just keeps being surprising and the way they lead these HUGE revelations..

RUKO??? OHH MY GOODNESS AND BENNA!!

this shits peak… my babies :( weapons in the petty feud of divinity and all its shenanigans…and tala:( i hope sunur and suru are a ok i am lowkey TERRIFIED for them

leave cain ALONE sol you incel FUCK!! and Ogh katsan.. so much happening i was JUST cheering for some well deserved softness…

fenn fedala my eternal GOAT oh my GOD i love this overarching theme of love and grief!! katsan’s entire arc oh my goodness and benna :( she is goated!! my dear!! and more than 2 singular dialogues from ruko LETS GOO super interesting! AND LRTS GOOOO CAIN AND NEEMA AND ALSO OH NO OH MY GOD

knew that A) there was more to benna (not malicious..i think..thank Eight..) and B) cain still LOVES HER!!! always appreciate the toddler-like attitude to the ravens, especially sol! my goat! and MAN being unofficially executed would also have me piss drunk and laughing at nothing! SUPER DUPER interesting developments i simply cannot wait to see this trial…and cain and neema.. and ofc obligatory yasila :( yana:(

twist after TWIST, lore drop after LORE DROP!! love the way i predicted that twist a page before its reveal hehehe ugh and gaida and neema :( i really REALLY love this complicated dynamic #haunt that narrative girl! and i realized i have been misimagining vabras..my bad girl..and the ravens LMAOOO super unique & playful in the way that only omnipresent, unreliable deities could be!!

yasila you queen LMAOOO but oh WOW i loved that twist about visitor pyke.. and the fox trial was quite clever i fear i do admit and MAN NOO I ALSO LIKED SHAL i admit i am very sad for neema!! AND WOOHOO SUSPICIONS ABOUT THE NARRATORS CORRECT!! such a clever way to write the POV!! very funny AND useful for lore building!! and shout out to almost getting buried alive that was very scary..good writing..

oh neema my dear, literal ceo of "how did i GET here all i want to do is READ" she's so me.. in a way.. ohgh and cain LMAO you little shit!! i love how clever all the characters are, and this INCREDIBLY punchy, sharp, witty writing that speaks to the Brutality of the imperial court...and the politics....oogh...
