Nyktos & Sera

Finished AFITF, and I am conflicted. The first 60% was a chore to get though because it was so painful. It was like being stuck at the dentist for hours to get a crown put on—you know it’s neccessary, and will benefit you in the long run, but it hurts and you hate it.

The parts I did like (Attes) were few and far between until the last third of the book. I felt really deprived of Nektas, and Jadis and Reaver. I really missed the dynamics and interactions amongst all the different side characters. Again, having to spend 60% of the book with just Kolis and Callum was the worst torture.

I am definitely looking forward more to the next book and the parts with Sera being full Primal and Queen of the Gods, and gaining back those full cast interactions. I also do appreciate there was no cliffhanger on this one.

NOW. To the part that I really want to address…did anyone who has read JLA’s book The Fall of Ruin and Wrath, catch this little snippet in chapter 40:

I knew that the Ancients who’d returned to the ground must never, ever return to the surface. Because they were no longer the beginning of everything, the great creators, the givers of life and the balance that kept the realms stable. They were the end that would shake the realms, erupting the tallest mountains, spewing forth flames and clouds that would consume all in its path, turning day to night. They would boil the rivers and turn seas to deserts, laying utter waste to sprawling stone kingdoms and toppling those great steel cities in distant lands. For if they rose, they did so as blood and bone, the ruin and the wrath of that once great beginning.

I’m reading AFITF, and man, this is hard to read. Just painful. I hate having to read about Sera stuck with Kolis— like, no shade, I just want her to be out of this situation already.

Also, Kyn can go fuck himself, and Kolis can fuck off and die.

Attes is everything. As I knew he would be.

Casteel: Poppy won’t wake up. What do I do? Kieran: Did you try kicking her? Casteel: Yes. Kieran: I’m out of ideas.

Tcogb spoiler

Do we want to talk about PoppyCas asking Kieran to be Advisor to the Crown? One of my top favorite moments from Tcogb.“It would always have been you”

“Now it was Kieran who stared at us, his eyes wide and I felt the coolness of shock from him-something I didn’t think he often felt.”

All the feels.

Casteel: *tapping his fingers on the table*

Kieran: *tapping his foot back*

Malik: Stop that.

Casteel: Stop what?

Malik: You're talking about me in morse code.

Kieran: Yes, that's what we're doing. With our very limited free time, we took a class on a very outdated, very unnecessary form of communication just so we could talk about you in front of you.

Malik:

Casteel, to Poppy: That's exactly what we did.

[daddynektas]

Sera: I was trained from birth to kill the Primal of Death. You should be more afraid of me-

Nektas: You walked into a wall twice today because you were too busy staring at Ash. I fear your coordination.

[daddynektas]

Reaver: When in doubt, arson.

Poppy: No!

[daddynektas]

The way Casteel staggers back and has such a visceral physical reaction to the realisation that Poppy's about to find out the truth. That he's going to hurt her. That she's going to hate him 😭

[daddynektas]

Poppy

Casteel

They both look down at their chests in agony, expecting to see an injury to their hearts 😭 The betrayal breaks both of their hearts 💔

[daddynektas]

Casteel's reactions when people discuss The Dark One is either yeah I totally did that. Or now wait a second I would never show some respect.

I adore him for it.

[daddynektas]

These three y'all...

[daddynektas]

lmao an ot3 can be shapeshifting vampire gods

[daddynektas]

I feel like Sera and Cas might get along even better than Sera and Poppy.
