Hanna, that is so gross I dont' have the words. There is NOTHING about that piece of utter garbage to want.

Well, that goes to show you don’t need to be explicit to have an utterly nauseating scene. She should have run before it got cold. She should have stabbed him at any point she could.

This situation better change FAST or I’m DNFing this.

Liath’s sections drag for me because so far I’ve disliked everyone in them except Ivar (so far). Liath herself is okay but I’m cringing at some of her decisions. Hugh and Hanna’s mother need to be tossed off a cliff.

Not sure about this one, don't want to total give up on it but I will have to come back to it.

I’m glad that, this being a story of the sort it is, indications are Alain gets out of here. Because, ugh. Quit telling him to be content with having no choice and being forced to do something he doesn’t want.

Alright, it appears now that Bloodheart is going to be the main villain of the series instead of Sabella as I initially thought. But the only thing that upsets me is that Biscop Antonia may avoid punishment, since the worst that may happen to her is loss of the title and confinement in some distant convent. But otherwise, with compelling characters, extensive worldbuilding and measured pacing, it's definitely 5*.

I never really considered the possibility of Alain being Count Lavastine’s illegitimate son even though Agius voiced that possibility. Alain being Lavastine’s son would explain his ability to command the hounds, but not his vision of the elfish ghost in the old ruins, so I leaned to the theory of him having elfish blood. However, if Alain’s mother had elfish blood, that would make the whole story feasible!

What did Agius want to achieve, charging the guivre single-handedly and weaponless? Did he want to distract the monster and thus aid King Henry’s army in their battle, or did he just want to end his life, seeing no other way out? I guess we will never know…
