I love this book

Her heart ached, and her head ached, and her sinuses…well, they always ached.

Me in a nutshell

It occurred to Caliban that he had been nattering about his oath to protect the weak to a woman who had apparently just tracked them through the woods, found their weapons, climbed up the outside of the hut carrying said weapons, dropped fifteen feet through a hole in the ceiling onto a shaman, saving his life and possibly his soul in the process, and then proceeded to fight and dispatch a stag-man twice her size. My god. I am an arrogant jackass.

I’m giving the author one last chance to redeem this bc is this not lowk justifying grape or am I missing smthn???? She was in histerics and was in no place to be giving out convent willy nilly??? Excuse???? Caliban is irritating but the “strong ppl don’t take advantage of weak ppl” he ate with and now he’s taking it back????? Yoh sorry you’re losing me.
