Then I said "I haven't even read it, too embarrassing"


1. I haven't read Traitor since October 2019
2. This was made between the hours of 12am-2am
3. It was made for the ~layman~
Please enjoy The People's Account of the Traitor Baru Cormorant
(also you have to view it in presentation mode because I have a lot of important transitions)

and YEAH i want to talk abt tyrant So Bad but its literally impossible to discuss hmmm any plot point if u dont want to be spoiled. but tyrant was so good jfc baru and yawa's alliance literally cured the existential despair i fell into while reading monster. and idk if this is controversial or not bc she's literally a torturer but i love aminata and when i thought she died i was CRUSHED
((speaking of aminata,,, is it possible for her to be the secret daughter they were talking abt? i dont think the timelines match up, but then why all the talk abt how she looks so much like kindalina? seth if ur reading this blink twice if im right))

i like aminata too! she's kinda rly pitiful... and ngl i keep forgetting she's a torturer... mb bc she's so repressed about it but she'll be free from falcrest and her fucking duty soon hopefully so there's plenty of time for it to slap her in the face next book
wow that's so big-brained since aminata's an orphan and also from segu AND I DONT BELIEVE IN COINCIDENCES... honestly have no idea how the timelines work out tho;;; all i remember is that aminata's a bit older than baru and apparently that puts her out of contention?
(What was it like, growing up as Kindalana’s daughter? Where is that woman now?
“Aminata told me,” she says, softly, “about how she fucked you.”) < im so SUSS about this tho it's very perfect placement to mention her name right there even tho it makes sense in context
man can't even guess at what book four is gonna bring I JUST WANT EVERYONE ALIVE AND HAPPY (esp svir and tau they deserve the world) and for baru to fuck up falcrest's inner-city politics tho the way she fucking told farrier all her motives worries me to hell

anyways watching farrier's downfall was just....chef's kiss omg and yeah the way baru was like "im telling him too much..." then girl STOP
do u think its gonna end with her actually taking down falcrest? at the end of monster i thought the only happy ending possible for baru was her dying saving someone or something and then being reunited w tain hu. but now that she has like ,,, a support system lmaooo that might change

also what do you think renascent is? apparently we've already met her in some form Twice, but that makes her sound like something completely inhuman;;;;
baru stop ruining your own plans HAHA man that showdown was epic but i hate how even farrier and cosgrad are so humanised i actually felt kinda bad for farrier when she stomped over his hopes and dreams (they deserve what they got for sure but ugh all power to the book for making even the worst ppl hard to hate)
i rly think so!!! welp tyrant was so optimistic this is totally baseless but i have faith for a happy ending for baru TT UTT since she's beginning to move on and grow... or more like how is she even gonna suffer more lmao that's downright impossible

i also liked the unexpected tain shir semi-allegiance, if only bc her character scared the shit out of me and im glad she was no longer actively trying to kill baru. i already forget how her arc ended in this book as well. gonna have to reread the whole series before 4 comes out
and there's always the possibility for more suffering......i feel like yawa is definitely going to die just bc we like her now and its illegal for good things to happen to characters we like. i rlly dont want aminata to die again bc she's my emotional support character (bc for awhile she was the ONLY ONE who liked baru and it was just so nice to see someone be nice to her omg) and i will sue seth

HAHA same all thru monster i was like i can't think of any way that baru's gonna actually survive tain shir... because she had a point that baru's cause was too important as she'd already sacrificed everything for it, baru just got way too depressed haha
except then the power of love happened. p. sure the last time we saw her was the part with the apocalypse fuse? hi fives you we're all gonna have to reread because these books are so dense TOO MUCH HAPPENS
yeah i feel like yawa will die too idk why tho...;;;
but i rly don't think aminata will die either just bc we got faked out once and she's already left in really bad shape... i hope they all get their happy ends ; _;;;; btw do you think aminata's in love with baru and just insanely oblivious about it

also abt aminata. i've had Thoughts abt this. while lowkey i do like them together, i dont actually think it'll happen bc thats just a little TOO convenient. but while reading tyrant i totally thought she was into her, and even during monster too i was side-eyeing her a little bit. i think ur theory abt stargazer tho i think that has some interesting potential
