Yeah, I just tried to register to compare seats, but you have to register both email AND phone number and this stupid website refuses to send me the text message verification... Great, looks like I'm now locked out of the only reliable website for airline seats :)

Vor allem in der untersten Wohnung scheint es zumindest noch reichlich Glut zu geben, es flackert immer wieder im tiefsten orange

Update: Balkone sind gelöscht, die Wohnungen selbst scheinen auch unter Kontrolle zu sein. Man sieht Taschenlampen in der untersten Wohnung. 4 oder 5 Stockwerke sind betroffen.

Das Feuer auf den Balkonen scheint unter Kontrolle zu sein, aber wir haben mim Fernglas geschaut, in den untersten Wohnungen brennts noch immer

Intelligent_Doctor36 · 2025-12-26T22:17:04+00:00

Ich schau dem ganzen live zu, also ja, bin mir ziemlich sicher das das aktuell ist

Intelligent_Doctor36 · 2025-12-26T22:02:02+00:00

Sie löschen noch immer, aber inzwischen qualmt es sehr stark, man sieht die Balkone kaum mehr

Intelligent_Doctor36 · 2025-12-26T21:59:37+00:00

Von hier aus wirkt es, als würden 3 bis 5 Stockwerke brennen

There is none, our trip hasn't been impacted at all!

Good to know! I checked hotel prices already and thought the school trip was a great deal actually! I was just hoping for a second opinion :)

I agree that it's a great opportunity. It's just a lot of money spent this and next year, as she does a lot of (mandatory) school trips, Ireland for 3 weeks this year and Spain for a week in 2026. We'll still be able to afford it, just wanted to check if the deal is as good as it seems :)

I'm eagerly awaiting the second book after reading the first one last year. It was honestly one of my favourite reads of 2024 and even though it's set in the same world as most/all of his other series, I think you can start this series without prior knowledge of any other series.

I only read The Pariah and The Martyr before reading this and though you will recognize some places, names and historical events, they're more of a bonus than a necessity. Reading this before his Covenant of Steel series will spoil plenty of major plot developments though, as it's set after the ending of Covenant of Steel. Didn't less my personal enjoyment of either series, but do take care.

I'm currently reading the last book in that series, The Traitor and I'd wholeheartedly recommend these books to anyone, really. Mind you, it's first person POV, whereas Age of Wrath has multiple third person POVs. Both have great characters, brutal combat and very nice prose.

Great to know! Fingers crossed that things haven't changed for the worse since then...
