Did I like the book in general…yess..love carrion..and onyx my gavsss
Was the cliffhanger necessary…kinda yes because she did the same on book one..was it an insane ending to keep be hooked…idk…it it’s interesting tho to know where khydans shadows really come from and who is he on that he’ll plane

“Who . . . are you?” Crave choked. “Only . . . half-gods may wield shadows.”
Khydan drew in a deep breath, ignoring the male’s question. “I’ve come for a dragon, as is my right. Summon our father. Tell him I’ve come to make a trade.”

So fisher aka khydan is like a prince or Demi god of hell? And its ends like that??

Interesting

“I stroked her hair, holding her tight to me as I slowly shook my head. “I’m sorry.” My voice broke. “I would try, I promise I would. But it’s too late, Osha. He’s already gone.”

NOOO WHYYY ONYX NO

SLAYYY

I hope this works

“You may recall, when we met first, Saeris, that I said this male, this . . . dog, was to face trial for his part in the death and destruction that took place in my beloved city of Gillethrye. He fled my palace without my knowledge and then sought harbor in an illegally warded refuge.”

Ngl I forgot about the majority of side characters

My shield blazed to life, and the interlocking Alchimeran runes projected in the air shone like a falling star. The quicksilver icon burned brightest, pulsing. When I flicked my wrist, the shield rotated, the icon growing larger . . .

I like her runes and shield

“I know,” he said slowly, “that anyone willing to forfeit the lives of their people and tally their loss as collateral damage is no leader. Certainly not the kind of leader that I will ever be—”
Oh he’s PISSED

He said that infected feeder was killed instantly when the brimstone came into contact with it. With enough brimstone, we could stop the rot in its tracks here, before it infects the rest of the fucking realm—”

but I needed my half-vampiric blood, at least for the time being. Foley needed his, too. To what end, I could only guess, but Edina had foreseen a reason to tell us not to take Iseabail’s cure. I’d nearly missed her warning.

I love Edina’s diary
