My disappointment is unmeasurable and my day is ruined.

trellis has a history of expressing concern to people who have actively tried to kill him, yet still gives them the opportunity to redeem themselves. an assassin overtaking him is insane to me, he does not gaf abt that title (king) and i do not blame him lmfao

it's been months but GOOOD those first 30 pages of Amulet still pisses me off like GOD. Makes 0 sense, Trellis should've been king, full stop, Gabilan is the last guy I'd pick, I'm changing that shit in the Rewrite 💀

OH MY GOD THANK YOU?????

I was just thinking about what exactly could even be done with the Elf King aside from making him evil by nature because he is SO underused in the series. This is amazing.

I don't know if I will end up making Ikol and the Elf King one and the same, but it does make sense that EK would want to become more powerful in the hopes of defying death.

AND ALSO IMAGINE IF THE ELF KING'S TROOPS WERE ALSO UNDEAD????

What if, in melding himself with the voice, he did become as powerful as he hoped he would be, and as a result made his personal army one made fully of undead beings? Never quite able to be defeated, because they keep rising over and over again.

Honestly, one of the things that made me the most mad about later books of Amulet was the underused potential of the villains.

Like, Emily defeats one of the main bads that we've been warned about since BOOK ONE in the most anti climactic way possible. Just take his mask off and reveal he was never the one in control, it was just this other bad being.

(And also, personal opinion but Trellis should've been the one to do that, to finally face his father and demonstrate that he's not as powerful as he once was, but that's just me)

Anyways, thank you so much man!!!
