Status Updates From The Fragile Threads of Powe...

“But all things end. That is the nature of the world.”

I’m so excited to get back into this world after the Darker Shade of Magic series! It’s been almost 8 years!

Ah, so that’s one of the three leaders of the Hand is. I never trusted her. Well at least Berras is dealt with. Still don’t know their ultimate plan, but I suppose two books still remain to be written. This was truly excellent. It took some time but once it sinks it hooks into you, this book does not let go. It was good seeing everyone from ADSOM and Im looking forward to what comes next.

Wow I wasn’t expecting Tes to do that. But what Lila said gives me hope. Maybe she can mend his magic. Ah, one can hope.

Only Lila Bard will tell a queen to go f*** themselves! 🤣👑

- "you came"
- "you called"

😩😩😩

reading again <3

Too many characters.

No lo quiero terminaaaaaar

Omg!!!!

I swear, if Ezril is somehow related to the hand...

OH NO I KNEW LILA BARD WOULD NEVER LEAD IS WRONG THE NEW AVEN ESSEN IS ON THE BAD GUYS SIDE!!!!

i didn’t think holland would be such a big character 7 years from the grave but here we are and i don’t know if he is turning evil or not

god what is she going to do

okay justice for white london all they get is the shit end of the stick!! like their universe is finally healing and shit and then tess had to open the gates up again😭😭😭 and now the bad guys are going to come back aren’t they

OUT. GET OUT. VICTORIA 👉🚪

Using Tes’ near death experience to ‘flash’ her life before our eyes is a great storytelling technique. I can imagine people complaining about the ‘bloat’ of the flashbacks, which I could maybe see for a few. But overall, the flashbacks add extra layers to the character which I appreciate. Also *SPOILER*

That Holland ghost, is not Holland. I’m calling that now. If I did already, calling it again.

Holland :(

“Caring could drown you, if you let it. But it could also help you float.”

okay i didn’t know what to think of this queen at first since it sucks rhys had to marry her for the title and an heir (but at least he still gets alucard on the side ig) but she is growing on me and im excited to see more of her!!!

i love when all the povs collide at the end of a book it’s chefs kiss

i’m kinda scared to see current time white london if we’re still one year ago (also i love the structure of schwabs books

este livro relembrou-me que I’m obsessed with these characters, let’s gooooooo

Ok where my girl Lila at

Estoy nerviosa con lo que puede pasar, recién pensé en que habrá más libros que todavía no salen y me tocará esperar

I did NOT miss Lila. See, sometimes I think I'm ok with her, then she opens her mouth. Or gets a narrative. Or does something. It's been four books Woman. Please grow a brain.

❤️‍🔥

My god, this is good. *SPOILERS AHEAD*

So we know one of the three pulling the Hands strings is Alucard’s piece of shit abusive brother Berras. Who the Lady is and the Master of the Veil, who knows. But their goal? Beyond a throne, what *is* their goal? I guess it’s a trilogy so we’ll find out eventually. I just want these books to come out quicker sob

Wait. WHAT? It cant be. This must be a demon. If it’s not… Well. Interesting

I got drawn in by the concept, but right now, it's a slog. There are a lot of characters, some introduced a while ago and then never touched on again, and the pacing is slow.

Currently I'm in a portion with a lot of skipping back and forth in time that honestly feels unnecessary. It also feels odd to have spent maybe two chapters on a world/character, and then suddenly spend ages on the backstory of just one. DNF??
