A lot of messages about when it’s ok to break the rules.
“I did what I believed was right…. It’s my duty— in fact, I believe every person’s duty, especially those in power— to reject unjust laws. To choose kindness and empathy, whenever we can.”

“I found a place I want to be and a future I want to have. I’m happy and I hope you are too.”

These last few pages got me teary eyed. I appreciate that Terlu was so excited for her library job and it turned out to be not at all what she wanted. It was lonely and disappointing and then a nightmare. A lot of us find ourselves in situations which we picked and were excited about but the reality is different than the dream. I like that eventually she finds her place and is happy and fulfilled. It’s hopeful.

Chapter 30

“Fear consumed reason.” Accurate!!
The story is really good now. Can’t put it down!

Great action and mystery packed chapter!
Why has it taken them so long to talk to the ghost?!?

At times the romance is way too over the top cliche between Yarrow and Terlu and even Rowan and Ambrel. It’s all a bit too starry eyed for me. Also I am getting tired of Terlu’s pathetic “no one ever loved me, I’m a screw up” kind of script. She’s going on about how Yarrow accepts her unconditionally even when she makes mistakes. It’s a bit too “poor me”main character attitude repeatedly.
