and also why did they let him go with valka? i’ve had enoughhhh omg

i’ve been reserving judgment but i’m not sure how i feel about the way valka is written. i THINK im still missing pieces to the puzzle but im a bit concerned that this is where it stops with her, and she really doesn’t want her honour defended because she’s from outside their solar system or whatever. i understand what’s trying to be done but idk how good the execution is, lets see

woah!! incredible paragraph, clearly foreshadowing what is going to happen throughout the series

how have i only just realised he gave himself the name gibson after his teacher awww

okay he’s learning the truth about the universe! and i didn’t realise the chantry limited off world travel too

the description and flash forward of bassander lin - the phoenix WOW. can’t wait to meet him in the future books “my last friend, my enemy.” knight, captain, traitor - he would be all of those things, but not yet wowwww yes can’t wait!!

demarchy = democracy? easier to contextualise it in that way, and valka is tavrosi

he started the ceiclin slave trade?

the way i have the dictionary open while reading this book is crazy

well at least he admits he is stupid!
