I LOVE Death's horses. They're so interesting - if you'd asked me what the special magic of Death's bloodline would be, I wouldn't have guessed 'horses that can go super fast anywhere they want'.

That they're white could be KD giving a tip of the hat to Death's White Horse in the Bible, or the fact that white horses have been seen as magical in a whole bunch of cultures throughout history.

Either way, they're ridiculously fabulous and I love them.

Also, this is where we see that Anna's not just powerful - 'breaking the glass' and even the golem are arguably natural ability + massive power.

But recreating the Companion Bond?! Just by looking at two example bonds?! That's unbelievable levels of intelligence, being able to see, comprehend, and recreate what she sees. That's a lot more than just a deep well of power.

(Intelligence probably isn't quite the right word, but I feel like you all probably get what I mean?)

What happens to Jirvan? I need to know.

Oh Corbie. I nearly cried when they found him in the barber’s chair. He’s been through so much

Lady Death is one of the only Arcana who I believe did not participate and had no knowledge, before or after, of what happened to Rune's court. And I will be heartbroken if she ends up an enemy because she's awesome, I love her, and I want her and Rune to become good friends and for her to become the unofficial fun aunt of Rune's found family.

I love the fact that both Mayan and Brand appear to be Star Trek fans.

Lord Tower and Lord Judgement have a much stronger reaction to the use of Time magic than others and Quinn mentions Tower knowing it best. I feel like they were somehow involved in whatever went down with the Time Court and look forward to knowing more.

I agree with Hannah, Lady Death should definitely be the cool Aunt. Every family should have one.
