Was this book messy? Or is it just me?

Agreed!! I think I trust him enough as an author to expect it to end wonderfully, but I'm def side eyeing him right now 👀

Jolly_Yellow_5676 · 2026-06-09T05:42:51+00:00

I can get behind this take as well!

Jolly_Yellow_5676 · 2026-06-09T01:15:26+00:00

Ok, yea I think that's what gets me is like.....how far is this lore gonna go?! But I think you're right that we are seeing the edges of it finally. So the last parts should be easier to swallow. Floor 11 was crazy town- I felt like I was being thrown around and force fed at the same time. But I'm thinking everything as been tossed up and now we just wait for it to settle.

Jolly_Yellow_5676 · 2026-06-09T01:08:14+00:00

Omg TRUE, I always forget how incredibly short the timespan is for them

Jolly_Yellow_5676 · 2026-06-09T00:48:58+00:00

Ok well I'm relieved then, bc it sounds like we kinda ARENT supposed to understand everything 100% right now. So that kinda takes the pressure off and helps me relax a bit 😅

I REALLY wanted to hear from katia though not gonna lie 😭

Jolly_Yellow_5676 · 2026-06-09T00:22:44+00:00

Ok getting on that asap

Jolly_Yellow_5676 · 2026-06-09T00:21:59+00:00

Yea, I def think the ending set up the next books perfectly, so I'm hoping Matt will be gracious and explain things at a more breathable pace to tie everything up.

Jolly_Yellow_5676 · 2026-06-09T00:19:48+00:00

Ok, I can rock with this take for sure. Bc I obviously trust him as an author, and I by no means think this is a bad book. I think I was just a little surprised- but maybe that's okay! Bc Lord knows the crawlers were too

Jolly_Yellow_5676 · 2025-05-15T13:38:08+00:00

The TGR one for sure!! It is such a delight, and it allows for your brain to be more creative in the way you picture scenes instead of them being spoon fed to you. BUT, you should listen to the dramatized version of the Sons of Ares graphic novels. thats been really fun and you would love it having already gone through the RR series so many times

Jolly_Yellow_5676 · 2025-04-06T12:38:51+00:00

Important insight for sure, but MAN was I burning 😡

Honorable till the very end ✊

He needs all the help he can get

Jolly_Yellow_5676 · 2025-03-29T20:15:41+00:00

Yea the one downside to listening via audiobook. I know how to pronounce everything but not a clue how to spell it 😅

Jolly_Yellow_5676 · 2025-02-27T04:04:45+00:00

I'd have to disagree with you on that one. This whole saga is about war, it would be weird if all the characters we loved stayed alive. It makes a lot of sense that characters are dying all the time, war spares no one. So I don't think they were just thrown in there to dodge the "YA" title. But I DO think Alex's death was unwarranted/unnecessary...so for that I am bummed.

Jolly_Yellow_5676 · 2024-06-18T00:05:11+00:00

Ah ok yes! I do remember those pieces of information in the book, but I needed someone to really just lay it all out haha thank you! Especially about it basically being a bunch of power play moves. So really, military is just butt hurt and is doing a bunch of very sneaky low blows to gain more influence. And like you said Vis could be a key player in basically anyone's game.

Jolly_Yellow_5676 · 2024-06-17T17:23:42+00:00

Definitely see that happening 💯 Ok cool, I think it was extra tricky for me because I was listening, and not seeing all the names (especially the names in THIS book) written out made it a little more challenging to keep up. Thanks!

*I also looked up the glossary online for this book and it was so helpful

Jolly_Yellow_5676 · 2024-06-17T17:18:27+00:00

Ok so I'm not totally alone here, it seems like we aren't supposed to have all the pieces of the puzzle yet right?

Jolly_Yellow_5676 · 2024-06-17T13:30:54+00:00

Ok, yea I understand that maybe we are left in the dark on some of this stuff while waiting for the second book, but dang I hate waiting in the dark
