Robin Hobb wrote Kennit Ludluck so well. He’s a pirate cult leader. Like what the fuck. Its so insane how in every other point of view (until later…) Kennit is.. a good person. He is just and knowledgeable and easy to follow because everyone agrees what he’s doing is good. Then you get to Kennits point of view and hes just the most manipulative evil ass mother fucker youve ever met in your life. Yet to everyone else hes almost this Jesus figure. There was almost a point in which I changed my mind about him and was like huh wow maybe he is a good person he just doesnt know how to go about it. And then later would feel as if I was shot in the chest by how evil Kennit can truly be. Robin Hobb manipulates you in the books the same way Wintrow, Etta, and every follower of his was manipulated. I would get so angry at Wintrow for falling for it, but truly if I was in his position and had no inkling on what Kennit truly thought, I probably would have fell for it too.
