I haven’t talked a lot about Broken Throne (BT) because.... I feel like this book is a huge misopportunity to tell interesting stories.

Tbh, I haven’t finish it because I just feel it boring. The purple pages are the most interesting part because it develops the universe but for the rest.... 2 of the stories were already published so it feel like a repetition.

From what I heard about the other ones, I just don’t care. I don’t need to know what happened after War Storm (WS). WS ending was opened and let room for a lot if one day Victoria wanted to come back and write again, but with BT she closed all the doors.

Cal and Mare getting a child is stupid to me and just here to please the shippers. And the end of WS she’s like “Ok, now I need to take time for me, time to heal” and it was perfect ! Because she ended with nobody but her, but nooooooooo you gave her a kid and a guy who cannot do anything. They have no bound between each other except the ones they were forced to make because they were in a deep shit. The only thing that attract them is their physique. I really hate this relationship and not because I like Maven but because it’s too superficial.

Talking about Maven........ the poor guy. He’s the main vilain of the series and he only get 4 (?) pages ? The M.A.I.N V.I.L.A.I.N get 4 freaking pages..... to say pretty much nothing. I had no problem with him being really dead tho. That character is the primary reason why I love this serie so much and you pushed him aside to wrote bland things about Evangeline who is truly a despicable and selfish character.

/ ! \ END SPOILERS / ! \

You had an opportunity to talk about so much things, for example the chilhood of the Calores brothers, the period when Maven was in the front, how do they plan all of this with his mother, how do they recruit Rane Arven and how did the bargain took place, seeing the events of RQ from their side, seeing the events of GS from their perspective, seeing more from the Lakelands, what happened between Julian and Maven for them to despise each other at that point, relation between Elara and Cal....

I despise this movie. It led me directly to the darkest corner of the dark side.

My first edit about Red Queen. I choose a Maven quote, of course :)

Why did Farley mentionned whispers from the Lakelands when we know from Iris in King’s Cage that they no longer exists there ?

Looks like some of Ceasarion’s genes did make their way to Maven heh ? :D

It was really nice to see all the Calore kings and everything they’ve done.

Victoria liiiiikes to instill the doubt in me >_<. For a long time I thought Maven did get some of his mother’s power (even after the debunk in RQ) but eventually that thought get away and noooooooooooooow you told me the story of Julius II with both his parents being burners and a doubt on who is his real father >_< (meaning his power could come from his mother).

Heeeeeeeeeeeey, I wasn’t dead haha ! I was just waiting for this bad boy ;).
