"Little Crowling with button black eyes"

used to the darkness by des rocs is so Ezra squall coded

maud reminds me of president coin from the hunger games or is that just me?

I love how squall was like in the first book “kidnap you? This isn’t a kidnapping it’s your first lesson on how to be a Wundersmith” basically saying I’m not kidnapping you to Morrigan and then in Silverborn when Morrigan asks how he knows about her mother or something he says “you don’t think I do background checks before attempting to kidnap people” basically admitting that he kidnapped her. So what is it 😂😂

ok so when squall says “there is black ice at the heart of you” I don’t think he means that she’s inherently evil. Black ice is clear and thus makes it tricky to see on roads. I think he is saying that Morrigan has a bravery and willfulness about her that most will not see at first and thus underestimate her. She’s not ms nice person either which I love unlike a lot of middle grade protagonist. A lot of what squall says about her is true and yes she does have potential I believe to have chosen the “evil” side because of everything that has happened to her in her life but she doesn’t. I don’t know what squall is planning but I don’t even think he wants an “evil” heir, but a willful, stubborn, powerful, emotional, one of a kind girl that is Morrigan. Ok that’s enough of that lol

do you think in future books that Morrigan will join squall in his plan? Not in a way where she helps him take over Nevermoor but in a sense where she is betrayed by others and he is her only option? Maybe she gets sent back to the republic?

is there a reason why all the woman in the darling family names start with the letter m? (Even Morrigan) there just has to be some deeper meaning or connection behind it
