the author saying in the acknowledgements that ppl kept telling her after the first book they loved marosa and wanted to see more of her was partial impetus for this book is cool, i do remember her being cool, especially bc she was in this supposed evil kingdom and was slyly helping us and you couldn't exactly tell her true allegiances but yeah i don't remember much but i definitely love her after this book

OH


I THOUGHT 288 PAGES MEANT STORY I'M AT THE GLOSSARY NOW THE BOOK IS OVER


well that letter was a very nice ending

i didnt care too much for the first book but after reading this i want to read it again with context

ok it seems like marosa wrote this letter before fynch essentially killed himself i wonder where it ended up going, i dont remember from the first book

but let's see what's next there's only 30 pgs left this is a very nice transition to something new

ohhh since fýredel is flying off to supposedly kill/threaten sabran i vaguely remember that from the first book but iirc she survives bc of ead (tho at the time she thinks it's the saint)

and now marosa is abt to meet up w beck and his buddy who just got off estina's ship which i remember from the first book

initially i thought this book was going to end before overlapping with the first book but we're still going

not overreacting to the mention of glorian at all

i will definitely overreact to any mention of the second book

I wonder if marosa will ever find out how reluctant aubrecht was to give up trying to save her and the engagement

but this annulment letter showing up on the page right after her seeing all of her friends and companions eaten alive is insane and sad

just remembered marosa had some kind of pleasant relationship with loth beck from the first book so it's nice to confirm that she stands her ground even after being forced to become a puppet

the stuff with the mysterious box and the journey to the south all sounds like prep for the first book and what made loth go find her in the first place, sabran wanted to find what happened to her father etc.

jondu's story was very sharp and impactful, it's getting serious and there are only 60 pages left? how are we introducing a whole journey at pg 220? im trusting the author but idk

it's so weird having a short book in this series like wdym it's almost over

denarva, denarva ersyri sounds familiar
