Just started reading the AC Underworld novel and not even 11 pages in, THIS scene with Ethan Frye appears.

"— Instead, how about you tell me who it is you planned to meet?".

Boot blinked. "He'll kill me if I do".

"That's a maybe, but I'll kill you if you don't, and only one of us here is holding a knife at your throat and it's not him, is it?", Ethan increased the pressure.

And I can't help but notice a similarity with THIS iconic scene.

Jacob: "Tell me".

Blighter: "Please! He'll kill me".

Jacob: "And a three storey fall will shatter your legs and send you to the workhouse. Difference is, you can run from him!" *inches her further over the ledge of the building menacingly*

And Evie Frye has the audacity to say, "Father never approved of your methods!".

AC UNDERWORLD IS ACTUALLY SO GOOD. [the audiobook at least]

This just makes me more pissed at the shitty Dishonored books (sorry y’all, I just couldn’t read them, not nearly engaging enough for me -- maybe if I find an audio recording I can try again but tbh I’m not sure), cause THIS BOOK. I spent an hour tonight mopping and the whole time I was audibly reacting to this book. I squealed like I was reading fanfic. It was DELIGHTFUL.

Hi!

1) I am not latine but I speak some Spanish, hence the pronouns in Spanish in my bio

2) omg thanks so much for reading my fic! Jayadeep Mir make brain go brrrrr. Okay so plot-wise Underworld is like, fine, or whatever, but the thing I CANNOT get over is Oliver Bowden’s utter disinterest in engaging with Jayadeep’s ethnicity or religion and what it would mean for him to be an Indian man exiled to England in the 1860s!!!! It’s not even an across-the-board disregard for historical accuracy, which would be slightly less galling because at least it would be consistent; but no, clearly Bowden can do minute research into which neighborhoods the early construction of the Underground disrupted but was like “yeah they probably all speak Hindi.” IN AMRITSAR??? Not a mention of Sikhism??? IN AMRITSAR??? When Jayadeep’s mother’s last name is KAUR? He couldn’t even do the bare minimum of “reading the Wikipedia page for the city your main character was born and raised in.” Fuck off, dude. The laziness and dismissiveness is obscene. And he got PAID to write that book.
