Dani ❤️ Perspective of a Writer’s Reviews > The Never Tilting World > Status Update

Okay well what a trite ending. Why couldn’t we have something as original as the world? We have one twin as sweet as pie and the other a total bad girl... why ruin that? For love? GAHHHHHH what a waste. I did like the twist with one of Odessa’s followers, that made sense to me.

Haidee thinks Arjun is dead but he’s paralyzed from the scorpions poison! It was cute how her bared her heart to him. They find a village at the base of the mountain where the abyss is!

Yup Odessa is officially looney and evil! Lan even sees it now. She had her shadows rip apart a devoted who tried to escape.

It’s still not clear why the breaking happened even though we understand more about what should have happened... then H and A run into really large scorpions! Odessa is quite evil now... which is sad.

Lan finally believes Odessa and they go to find the 6th galla... afterward they rip each other’s clothes off for sex... Gracea finds them and is going to arrest Lan and Odessa goes crazy and takes her light gate.
Haidee and Arjun discuss what she found in the book. And we learn why Odessa has been changing. Turns out she’s going to have to sacrifice someone she loves to get the last galla gift...

They make it to a forest with the Liangzhu Sonfei’s help. They find a statue guarding a hot springs and bathe together. We learn how he lost his hand to his fire when he was 10. Some nomads killed his friend so he killed them.

Odessa forces some of the ungated into being gated much to their delight. They pass into the spirit lands where Lan fought before. They fight them off but one falls mortally wounded and dies that night. She intimates that one of them caused her injury but Odessa hushes her and doesn’t realize. Is it Cathei?! Side effect of being raised?

Arjun goes to milk a deathworm of its water filled sac haha which was fun! Haidee learns the breaking happened because one of the goddesses didn’t die and go to the underworld. Of course she thinks her aunt did die but we know the truth. So now we know one of the twins will die. Arjun also heard from the mirage that he would die for Haidee too. Every time Odessa uses those galla abilities there is a consequence.

Odessa takes over. She wants to go to the middle of the lake to meet a galla. A scylla or a guy who eats sailors pulls her under Lan saves her and they successfully meet the “good” galla. A girl pushes one of the devoted men overboard, I guess her routinely raped the women clerks. She raises his soul to get confirmation.

Odessa is separated by a Galla who gives her the ability to raise Cathei who died.

They fight some nomads who turn out to be more devoted who were left behind. He has a book Haidee ‘s aunt left behind too.
