So you got all dressed up, have been gone for months, and probably lost about 60 pounds, and you're upset that your husband you knew for what ... a few days? doesn't recognize you. Oh, and he's awful for appreciating the effort you put into your appearance by checking you out and then approving of what he sees. Awful, awful man. How dare he.

Well, isn't that just convenient. I really despise neat little bows.

For some reason my brain keeps reading "asparagus" instead of "animagus." I have a feeling this is ruining any tension that would've been created.

"We must fear the asparagus!"

So why is the Godstone making Elisa cold now all of a sudden if she doesn't keep praying? That's kind of a dick move. You're in mortal danger but I want you to constantly pray that you'll succeed or you'll freeze to death ... Muahahahahaha!

This is where I'm at and I have to say it's getting more and more difficult to push myself through. I want to read other books instead : (

Let's say Elisa was 300 lbs at the start. At the most, she probably lost around 45 pounds during their trek, which would be a significant loss, but she's now describing herself like she lost 100. She can finally see her belly button! : |

Also, pretty sure her skinny companions are now walking skeletons.

At long last, after nearly a month of hot travel ...

What? I was trying to keep track and by my count they were traveling for 10-12 days. She's not incredibly specific but there's no way I miscounted by two weeks. This feels like it's going to be a cop out so Elisa can suddenly not be fat. Also, with limited water who the hell would make soup while traveling across the desert?

If I was a fat girl being forced to march through a desert I'd probably sit my ass down and tell them that they could fucking drag me.

What, no mention of how her borrowed clothes don't fit or how she can barely pull the boots passed her cankles?

Good lord, just think of how much food Elisa's taster had to eat.
