my reading this year is going to be looooow, so it's like 5 books a month.

No, I don't think so. I'm still behind the "Calidus is controlling Alcyon with the clay thingy" so that the giants are why he has to behave... although if he's being controlled it's enough that Calidus has his hair.. and also that's under the assumption that the giants ARE connected to Alcyon. Do we know since when Alcyon started working for Calidus??

Calidus said, glancing casually at a Kadoshim pinning a screaming man down, taking bites out of his throat.
Zombies 😃😃
Chapter 21
Yes, but what are the consequences? I expected him to return as a Kadoshim or something.
And it would appear you are right about the captive giants. There's something important about them since he kept them hidden for 12 years.

I wonder what Calidus will do with Ban's mother's head.. definitely not something good.
Chapter 11
I hope they'll somehow end up saving the giants.
Chapter 12
😂😂😂 Craf and Fech ordering Cywen.

2) Yeah, I didn't mean Ban like for Asroth, but for Elyon.. Like a final battle between good and evil that maybe they'll possess their champions. I don't know if he needs a vessel, but just look how Calidus told Nathair about the ruling. That Asroth wants to rule, but then he says that they are few, and that they'll need someone to rule.. so why would they need someone to rule if Asroth wants to rule??
Also, in flesh.. he's now just in people's minds so he's in the Banished lands in some form.. getting a body would be in flesh..
3) Dath is amazing 😂 I think that'll be something that I'll for sure remember about this series.
I wouldn't call Alcyon working with Calidus, more like he's made to... and it's not an oath but the clay+hair manipulation.

He had then cut a lock of hair from Nathair’s head
So now we know how things will go if Nathair doesn't want to be the Dark Sun.. although, it's something we could've assumed.. or maybe we already did? I don't remember if we discussed that or not.
‘Now think on this. Asroth would come here not to destroy, but to rule. He would fashion an empire, just as you have imagined. A new order, one defined by peace, once the dissenters were dealt with. No different from your plans. And you could still be a part of it. Our numbers are too few; we will need someone to rule the Banished Lands. Someone who could unite the realms. I believe that someone is you.’
Okay so... is Nathair, and maybe Ban also, as the Black Sun meant to be a vessel for Asroth? 😮 Like the way the Jehar that were possessed by the Kadoshim. Because it says that Asroth wants to rule, and that they need Nathair to be someone that can rule.. This is kinda midblowing.
Chapter 5
Conall cutting Marrock’s throat and tossing him to the waves Sooo.. this is something I also don't remember.
Chapter 7
. Although the fact that Corban seems to be taking counsel from a scruffy old raven over the high captain of the Ben-Elim is a little worrying.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Chapter 8
I hope Alcyon is all right. She frowned at her own thoughts. He was my captor.
Awww, she's worried about Alcyon.. I hope he gets out of Calidus' hands and joins Cywen and the Bright Star crew.
The world has gone mad. My brother, the champion of Elyon. She snorted with nervous laughter
It's funny how people close to Ban react to him being The Seven Disgraces. 😂

I guess it makes sense (view spoiler)

Generally speaking. I'm writing my review now and.. I may know what's the reason I didn't like this one as much as The Obelisk Gate. I mean it's a small thing but I feel like it wasn't nicely tied at the end (view spoiler)

Now I'm intrigued enough to look up the author's other works.

I don't know if it was because I didn't have enough time to be engrossed in the story or what, but I didn't enjoy it as much as book 2.

😂😂😂 yeah that's not going to happen. Everyone has been corrupted with greed, or at least the newer generations kept doing things like the previous generations.. and the first generation wrote a story the way it works for them so...

Yeah, a new child... maybe a new beginning, hope.. but there's the lack of food situation and the most important one "turning to stone when using magic".
Yes, to Alabaster. The moment he appeared in the last book (?) I knew.
CH12: (view spoiler)
Also read the Zero chapter.
