Lmaoooo…ok so since Devryck couldn’t get laid properly with a woman who would lie properly motionless beneath him, he’s decided to abduct a drunk hobo off the street (do Ivy League universities have drunk hobos in alleyways?) and lock him in a cage. Apparently there’s going to be lots of cage action in this book.

Apparently our plague doctor/secret society member/dark hero Devryck (srsly) has insatiable sexual needs he is forced to slake on a professor 10 years his senior who happens to cough uncontrollably as she climaxes. But, ya know, needs must…

She’s just committed the unforgivable sin of touching him though. Affection, he tells the reader, is a horror to him. lolz. I’m guessing the cure will be our innocent FMC.

There is an executioner! His name is The Executioner and he gets to wear a golden plague doctor mask.

I wonder if he gets to put that on his resume.

Ok so there are seven judges in costume AND a whole balcony of other members, also in costume. So a lot more than 5 people but still going to call them the Pentaverate in my mind.

I wonder if the balcony members have to walk with a little shuffle-step.

Ok so apparently the guy in the cage stole medical research and they happened to catch him while in the process of getting pegged by a escort - am I supposed to think that bit edgy or darkly amusing? Because really it’s neither.

The plague doctors have coin pins they display to one side of the other to share if they think the man guilty or not. Dramatic.

Anyone else besides me finding it hard to take this secret society thing seriously? The author introduces it to us with a guy in a cage and everyone standing around dressed as plague doctors - and this is supposed to be one of the most elite and dangerous secret societies in the world?? I just can’t help but imagine the Pentaverate.
