12 is the broken part of my heart, which the other parts of my heart are mocking. Where do we go from here? As a reader I’m being kept on my toes. And unexpected (at least, I wasn’t expecting things to happen the way they happened). Not like there isn’t humor because there’s definitely still that (Glob!Rosier’s da real MVP), but like I said, gut punching in other respects. The darker tone could be for any number of reasons, but it’s most likely just because the war is higher stakes, it’s grander, and things just couldn’t stay the way they were. On the other hand I’m also super happy because I get to read about Pritkin again! For instance, one part has me I’m-seriously-listening-to-Susan-Boyle’s-cover-of-“Wild-Horses”-on-repeat sad. In the future, I want more and more of his cat-and-mouse play/badassery (for that is his true element)! Side note/spoiler kinda: Caedmon makes another appearance and I am just such a fan of this guy. I had to take a break at one point and refuel on ch.1-2 of Reap the Wind. It felt like a massive shake-up for the series re: the war, the characters, the alliances, etc. Plus, hey I don’t know if it was intentional, but “Get off the road!” I feel like that’s hard to do with a book series that’s basically a sci-fi/ fantasy Lord of the Rings, but the style of writing makes it impossible for me to stop wanting more. It went by so fast and it pulled me in every direction.
I made the mistake of thinking I could savor this book - that I could treat myself to one or two chapters a night.
