BLADES OF LIGHT AND SHADOW BOOK 2 CHAPTER 14

WHILE IT IS AWESOME THAT WE FINALLY LEARN SHADOW MAGIC

I really wish it had been Aerin who taught us this elite skill because imagine the tension and the bonding it would bring 🥲💔

I KNOW THIS WAS AIMED AT AERIN

But God damn does it make me feel things

Oh la la, she looks awesome

All in all, this chapter was pretty cool but I hope we'll see Aerin soon enough because there are only 3 chapters left until it ends🥲

BOLAS: Meet My MC

Name: Peta

Skills: Archery, Seduction, Medicine

LI: Probably Mal?

Hi @choicesbookclub! This is my first time playing Blades and I'm most looking forward to seeing if it lives up to all the hype.😂 So far so good!👍🏼 I'm already reading ahead of schedule because I need to know what happens next.😛

Peta will probably end up romancing Mal, but we'll see how things go. He was not what I imagined (but in a good way). I love his sense of humor so far. Excited to see who else joins the Bard.😁

I listen to I love you by Woodkid for that scene base on the letter.

I understand why Aerin left , he needed to do this alone but that doesn't mean it didn't hurt AERIN!!!!!! this is so like that time. Thats the second time he hurt me but I still love him.

Three years of agony three years!!!!

The prince and the ranger.

I know we aren't going to get it because this is Pixelberry but I am hoping and praying we get a scene where MC gets to have a breakdown. Our friends were traumatized, their lives sucked, yes, I want more of that. But I also want a scene where someone mentions again that MC was just unconscious for that year, kinda disregarding it, and MC snaps. They pointed out they lost their brother and went on an entire quest to get him back, got betrayed by Aerin, had to kill Nia who they may or may not have been in love with, and then they get back and not even a week later they got kidnapped to the dimension that traumatized them by people they knew nothing about. They were experimented on for a year and the worst part is they have absolutely no idea what was done to them because they were DRUGGED and UNCONSCIOUS the whole time! Then they have to fight to escape completely on their own and they get back only to learn that they lost an entire year of their lives, all their friends split up, and now they're being thrown right into another world saving quest without any time to breathe. They came back to a completely different world that just went on without themafter losing an entire year. I want MC to scream about the year they lost qbr the fear of not knowing what the hell was done to them, how they were alone, and how fucking scared they are

mal going from never staying too long with a crew to seeing himself as a protector of the group. from putting his own survival above all to growing self sacrificial in the worst possible way. from being the cheery, funny one to the more withdrawn, hurt one. from avoiding danger to jumping into it. he finally let people in and it hurt so much and now he's scared and at the same time he's willing to do anything to keep what he has and his old coping mechanisms don't cut it anymore and he's desperate to cling to whatever's left of their friend group even if it means he wears himself thin and he was keeping tabs on imtura and he thought mc was dead but he kept looking anyway and he's still mourning a death that never happened but also it did happen because so much was lost and

Now isn't she the Fate in nightbound?

Random BOLAS HC: Male nespers give birth rather than females (like seahorses)

I think I posted this before, but I was just thinking about it again. I totally am imagining Threep at home (aka Mal's orphanage) pregnant eating all their food. Rayden would be so happy taking care of his pregnant "Kitty" and Mal would be grumbling and complaining because it's what he does. Maybe Daenarya's pregnant at the same time... poor Mal lol

One day I will write a fic about it, but until then, enjoy my headcanon again.
