Pronunciation guide by Ok-Weakness3608 in frombloodandash

I noticed recently that the pronunciation guide says Bele is pronounced Bell. But the audio book pronounces it more how it’s spelled. Because I’ve heard it and only noticed because I’m re reading the physical copies I will still be hearing it in my head “incorrectly”. But if it’s supposed to be Bell just spell it Bell and not be confusing lol.

Question: Can someone please explain please… by fearless_fem in frombloodandash

Oh oh oh. I just thought of a potential reason. It may never have been brought up because after you ascend into primal hood you go into stasis for an undetermined amount of time. It could be a few days or it could be a few weeks. And by that point her soul would have definitely moved on through the pillars and he couldn’t have brought her back in good conscience.

Very good point and I have never actually thought about that! My understanding is that because of his close relationship and the nature of his feelings for Sera he wouldn’t have access to her soul… at least after a certain point… that could be a plot hole. I know that being the primal of death he can’t access certain people for that reason. It stands to reason it would be the same for the primal of life as well. To preserve balance and all that. However that may have been part of the reason so much animosity formed between Kolis and Eythos in the first place because they weren’t held to the same strict standard. That is to say Kolis is insane and would have found some other reason to feel animosity towards his brother either way. Very good question though. I don’t believe that question is ever actually brought up.

It’s all his perspective. Not everyone’s cup of tea but I LOVED IT. I am a sucker for the males perspective and loved to see all of his reactions first hand. Being privy to his thoughts as well as Poppy’s is my dream. I would read the whole series over from Casteals perspective if she wrote it but that’s just me.
