Wild Reverence (add-on) : Discussion Thread

[Trisha]

Born ​in the firelit domain of the under realm, Matilda is the youngest goddess of her clan, blessed with humble messenger magic. But in a land where gods often kill each other to steal power and alliances break as quickly as they are forged, Matilda must come of age sooner than most. She may be known to carry words and letters through the realms, but she holds a secret she must hide from even her dearest of allies to ensure her survival. And to complicate matters . . . there is a mortal boy who dreams of her, despite the fact they have never met in the waking world.

Ten years ago, Vincent of Beckett wrote to Matilda on the darkest night of his life―begging the goddess he befriended in dreams to help him. When his request went unanswered, Vincent moved on, becoming the hardened, irreverent lord of the river who has long forgotten Matilda. That is, until she comes tumbling into his bedroom window with a letter for him.

As Fate would have it, Matilda and Vincent were destined to find each other beyond dreams. There may be a chance for Matilda to rewrite the blood-soaked ways of the gods, but at immense sacrifice. She will have to face something she fears even more than losing her magic: to be vulnerable, and to allow herself to finally be loved.

wow, I was worried because I definitely didn't remember much from book 1 but this one is okay without remembering any of it

(view spoiler)[
wow, I didn't expect her mother to be killed and for them to be doing so much black market maneuvering - it left her so vulnerable

I know that Matilda is anxious to get out of the sky realm but I worry that she may never be safe again. I wonder why her dad isn't passing on word of how the outside world - like the underlings or the mortals - how that is all going. I expect keeping her under control is more important to him.

i'm not sure what to make of the lover

I miss Vincent. I liked when they met and how they kept each other in their dreams. I hope he forgives her for the slight he believes she's done (hide spoiler)]

ooh no (view spoiler)[ what was she thinking, going outside. of course the uncle would call on the gods. and this one is so very mad at her.
at least he has called her now, maybe. I was worried when he called for his shoes, it would be on the 3rd night when the uncle would attack and she would leave them vulnerable.

I like Vincent and I hope he's forgiven her now that he knows she was unable to see his notes.
I love that he wrote her (hide spoiler)]
