#thaena just tried to sacrifice her son and an entire race and half the gods are DEAD and kihrin is DEAD how are there two more books

[bookwyrminspiration]

okay but i AM truly staring at the floor like ALL OF THIS HAPPENED IN ONE BOOK? cant believe kihrin confessed to teraeth at last in the same damn book. how did that happen it feels so long ago. also i DEFINITELY am repeating things from earlier asks i sent but i have another thought- more thoughts--senera and thurvishar? nature is healing watching two wizards who are incredibly intelligent and gifted and scientific and also seeing their lines of story bend towards each other like look how beautiful. and xivan and talea as short-lived as it ended up being (although.... ah.....talea has so much faith in her). the confession scene made me laugh so hard i couldn't highlight it for a minute because my hands were shaking too much. glad i DID NOT have to see therin and khaeriel for the entire book i was like if they are a constant perspective in these books and they're like this THE WHOLE TIME i gotta go. i cannot take any of them seriously. TERAETH FINALLY GETTING AN EDUCATION ON JORATESE POWER DYNAMICS. TERAETH AND JANEL INTERACTING SO MUCH IN THIS WAY! somehow they are nothing i expected but also exactly what i expected. they are both so sharp not to say kihrin isn't but i think at this point the handle of kihrin's blade is turned towards them both. if this makes sense.

You're so incredibly valid for that; the amount of things packed into this one book is mind-boggling. It feels like the books should be three times longer given how much happens and yet.

As for Senera and Thurvishar, it took me a while to actually come around to them. Not because they aren't incredibly sweet and meaningful to me as a an aroace person, but just because I'd gotten attached to the idea of aroace Thurvishar as someone who was going to be completely devoted to books and studies only forever. So when it started going the Senera/Thurvishar route I was like no!! I want my relationship free academic guy!!

But even though we didn't get that, we did get something else equally as valuable. Which is a relationship between ace characters. Without anything weird about it, just yeah neither of us want that and you don't even really like touch at all. That doesn't mean who we are to each other is any less fulfilling and important. I love Senera so so much.

And Therin and Khaeriel!! They're the super fucked up relationship I was talking about a while back where it's like. WOW. You bought and owned her body and soul as a slave for several years, she killed your entire family and enchanted you to fall in love with her. And now you are both free and...together of your own will in spite of all that? I'm just gonna move on and keep my distance.

AND YES! Someone finally let Teraeth in on what was going on. Honestly though now that I think about it, Teraeth and Janel had been hooking up in the afterlife for a few years prior, did she think he knew already? is that why she explained it to Kihrin within the first like half hour of meeting him but never talked about it with Teraeth? Though I do wish instead of Kihrin explaining Janel had been there to set it even more straight, but that's just personal preference

Also I don't know what you're saying with that blade turned towards them thing but I know whatever it is is super smart and just going over my head atm </3
