I can't do it. If I force myself to keep reading I'll never pick up a Rachel Hartman book again. I gotta give up

"In Marga's experience there were two kinds of priests: the sort who spouted scripture, and the sort who was just a little too handsy."

Haha that's the wrong form of "to be" haha

"The cousin could only be Kenneth, whom she'd long considered her lone ally in the family..."

JEANNE??? YOUR TWIN SISTER JEANNE????? THE SISTER YOU HAD CONFRENCES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WITH FOR YEARS??? THAT JEANNE?? IM *SCREAMIMG*

In all honesty I am questioning the decision to kill off Will. I obviously loved seeing him get got but there was rising tension surrounding Marga dating Tess's RAPIST. Would Tess warn Marga? Would Marga even believe her? Would she have Tess removed from expedition for her "slander?" It would've put a real wrench into finding the Polar Serpent and making things right with Pathka, and now that tension is just... gone.

Smoke is pouring out of the kitchen and I'm getting nervous. There's just something off about Hartman's writing in this one... It's not nearly as pollished as it usually is...

I won't lie I'm a little bored but I'm going to let Rachel Hartman cook
