I gotta say that it’s been a couple books but I’m still not clear why all the gods (except the obvious) are so on board with the whole Nolost thing, like I got that they didn’t particularly care about the Lich (we established several sorcerous cataclysms have historically occurred over thousands of years)

Why is Arawn so irritable lmao is he not specifically the most patient of all the gods

Gladdic immediately roasts Narashtovik when Dante tries to invite a companion to come visit in the future, so Dante just reflexively insults Blays too while they’re at it

Well that was depressing

Gladdic calling the White Tree ugly is taking me out

Flashbacks to yelling at the TV for Isildur to destroy the Ring

There’s so many underwater caves in this book which is really fun but I’m panicking that the characters are testing out the air in each one with their LUNGS, like light a damn match to check for O2 at LEAST, or does magic cure suffocation????

MY BOY WAS EATEN

At the risk of giving spoilers, I will state that the real victim in all of this is Winden, who left her tropical paradise homeland to traipse around in this sh/tty weather while trying to help out her friends/brother

This whole final battle thing is a bad time to ask but did Pressings survive since the last book. That guy was pretty cool I hope he pulled through

Blays: My wife is the best we’re gonna have so many kids someday
Dante: married to my work
Gladdic: it is my solemn duty not to inflict any offspring upon this world

This was a surprisingly stressful argument lmao

I gotta say I would totally have cracked and taken the deal at this point 💀

Not that I can think of a better option myself but “letting” people die (failure means total annihilation of the whole world population anyway etc etc) as part of the battle plan is getting really depressing

A little Vita screentime, and Raxa is back

Hold up PLOT TWIST

Blays releasing the crab 😭😭😭

He’s been unconscious or off-screen for like 70% of the time since his introduction but I’m a big fan of Bek so far

Is this our first Blays pov ?? Love him

It just occurred to me that Ara et al would probably hate the lying-centric culture of the islanders from the first book (I mean, it would drive me crazy too tbf lol)

Volo is so cute lol

Everyone is so aggravated lol this is very entertaining
