"There was still the question of daysdeath’s birth. The Forever King’s death. A few scant hours remained bfore the sun set on this pair for the last time...and he supposed he owed them a decent finale.. drew a deep breath, the taste of an ending in the air. ‘Finish it,’ the vampire said."

I am so fuckint hyped for the real ending to our tale that I was tempted to stay up beyond 4am to finish it.

I expected those 3 deaths, it is the end of a trilogy afterall but I am in denial about one, please be a unreliable narrator fibbing.

The reveal of why the big bad wants the holy grail seems so obvious but not one I guessed and how it lead to a betrayal I emphasise with

The steam was probably the smartest thing I have ever seen in any vampire story, honestly cinematic as fuck.

I think everything since the the reveal with Voss at page 416 has been 4 to 5 star quality. The sword, the thrall, that death, the framing its all too much. .".. evil but nothing compared to what we unearthed".
I love when there's an even bigger bad.
Need to finish this soon, desperate to find out what's really going on.

She thralled her - didnt see that coming
Also how did Kristoff manage to make us care so much about an object 😕

The illustration sort of ruined the twist before it happened but still it seems such an obvious twist in the tale of a vampire story but one i am excited to see how it develops.

Also the pale white moth has got to be who I think it is. This is all a rouse these retellings to infiltrate the castle and kill time so they can kill all 4 of the Houses.
