Casket of Souls review: Stressful.

I think it’s really funny though that they make Thero save Illia and then he passes out, but we don't find out about how they handle the remaining dozens of bottles. Like, I'm assuming Thero and Valerius team up to figure out which souls go with which sleeping patients, and Thero casts his magic circles to save as many as possible, or instructs other wizards on how to help, and we simply don't see it. But also, what if actually there was a time crunch and all those people died because Thero used up his energy to immediately save Illia?

#this book giving me the thesis that if a previously unmentioned child character suddenly gets a pov chapter in a lynn flewelling book.#they’re fucked #between the kids in this book and the plague kid in the Tamír Triad. sucks to be a destitute child about to be afflicted by magical ailments #Anyway this story did stress me out enough that I wanted to go find a summary of it to read. but the wiki doesn't have one #and neither does wikipedia. even though it does for the first 5 #my kindle did also suddenly decide to claim I'd also read it before. but while I'm willing to believe i read white road before but forgot #(due to it being effectively the second half of shadows return. so even though i had no memories of it.#i can't imagine i didn't want to follow up on what happened w sebrahn so I probably just read it at 3am and retained no memories)#i think the occasional moment of familiarity i felt towards this book was due to the amount of fantasy I've read in my life #and i will distrust my technology #all of this is very off topic except that i wanted to explain why i found this book so stressful which was: didn't know who would die or not #nightrunner series #cc #my thesis btw is that probably for the bottles w the final symbol inscribed #if you fed the liquid to the patient the soul belonged to they'd probably be fine right??#bc we know they can take in liquid and also like. uh. pretty direct way to get soul back. but I'm no drysian.
