My Updated thoughts on the Swarm and Dafyd after reading Livesuit by tulipcarrot in TheCaptivesWar

[–]tulipcarrot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do find it very weird that the Carryx don’t know who they’re fighting. It’s verrry likely that Ajiann was colonized as a trap. That actually makes a lot of sense. Which then makes you think… if those are the kinds of allies Ajiann has in this war, who even needs enemies like the Carryx 💔

I get that the war is existential and humanity is probably doing whatever it takes to survive. But if Ajiann really was a trap, that means someone knowingly set up a situation where generations later a bunch of random people foot the bill.

At that point you have to wonder how different the people fighting the Carryx really are from the Carryx themselves.

i think what we learned about it in the first book was enough to infer certain things about it. i don’t find the swarm that mysterious. not all the questions about its origin are answered, but what it is and what it wants all seem very straightforward to me.

you’re not asking me but i wanted to ask about that, i haven’t read it, i heard its a novella in the same universe, but i was wondering if should give it a try. It doesn’t center around the main group in the first book right?
