notes from being abt halfway done:

i like this book. waaaaaay slower pacing than the usualy drizzt-book cram-it-all-in bcus there's too much to fit in 3 books. Which is fine. worried tho bcus theres not enough time to resolve everything and idk if he's writing more ? please....is this the first of 3?? god i hoooope soooooo

i like breezy, i think shes a cute protagonist who's point of view makes sense. i think sometimes writers wanna have an angsty young adult so they made them hate their parents for no reason- but breezy doesnt hate her family. she just feels smothered. which makes sense. also interesting how her insecurities manifest and she imagines that her partents are ashamed of her. drizzt and her shaking hands over "i imagine my dad differently than he is in reality"

her and jarlaxle shaking hands over fantasy adhd diagnosis

breezy: i dont like the expression 'losing your virginity' i really dont wanna lose to master gregory twice in one day. i need a win

also where is kane when you need him to tell u abt edging....

artemis psss psss where are uuuuu....i know youre around here somewhereeee

DAHLIA ugh dahlia my girl my life ,,,....first word of the book is her name. <3 i do kinda feel like her and effron would have had a better relationship it feels like its regressed. i dont hate it i just feel like it backslid. I want her to be happy and healthy gooooooddddd dahlia i worry for you i do but also the locals calling her the lady of stars....its what she deserves. but god DAMN im scared pls let her be happy in a healthy way pls she's already had her rockbottom like 5 times

CALLIDAEEE i love callidae. udadrow refugees! i love that i think its a very fresh cool thing to explore

ZAK ZAK ZAK u know it makes me sad he doesnt see his family and breezy much but he does deserve a new life. old man has gone thru th ehorrors, now he's on a pro sports team w his partner ALSOOOO

listenn i was already a bit of an eilistreean zak truther i thought it would be a cool thing to see so im rlly happy. honestly im glad they dedicated a bit of time for jarlaxle to emphasize how weird it feels for him. but i do like it i think it's cool. paladin zak. zak you must dance naked. zak listen, my name is ed greenw-

dinin omfg. I will check in later with more notes when im done but i just got to his intro. he ALSO JOINED A SPORTS TEAM LMAOOOOO "yes i have a terrible job to do to kill my niece but in the meantime i might as well join a pro sports team"

also its a little funny how much breezy is thinking abt kissing boys in this book. young lady.....

OKAY BOOK IS DONE:

lets get this outta the way now: i am so bummed about dahlia i really love dahlia . like inTHEORY i get the whole 'someone who was a victim is now hurting others and its not an excuse" but like?? no one seemed to have an ounce of compassion for her other than my goat regis tbh (and effron!! noooooo effron aughhhhh WHY COULDNT THEY HAVE LET DAHLIA COME BACK TO REDEMPTION FUCKKKKK). artemis u shouldve been WEEPING for her to come back

so yeah i think her death was fucked and lame sorry. she shouldve gotten a good ending. deserved it more than fuckin anyone tbh

ANYWAYS OTHERRR THAN THATTTTT

i liked this book a lot. definitely did a lot of meandering before getting to the 'final battle' which drizzt books do a lot but ive read 40 of these bitches i dont care. i like them anyways

artemis first appearance and he's coming out of a closet. hello? not to sound like a johnlock conspiracy ass person but this is so fuckin funnyyyyy. also ummmm his BEST FRIEND???? brother im about to have a jartemis moment. it never ends for me

'a great fondness for regis' artemis and regis best duo whateverrr

also this is from earlier but it was cute

also back to dinin. omfg...he rlly said "i actually like......dont care about this. i dont even wanna do all that." also zak doesnt even wanna hang out with him GOD can my boy catch a break

-jarlaxle and zak racing across callidae like they used to do in menzo. and hugging. whatever ummm weeping.

hrmmmm thats rlly all my initial thoughts i just finished it but im sure ill have more. I like breezy (wish she didnt kill dahlia but thats not her fault thats the book itself ). jarlaxles speech to her about never letting go of that remorse for taking a life is so good bcus you KNOW what he's had to do in his life.

OHHH and i like the subtlety of breezy calling artemis by his first name when they get a moment to talk alone. i doubt she calls him 'uncle' LOL but it shows how she knows him and theyre close. very cute . he didnt show up until the last bit but man it was good to see him.

OKAY!!! BOOK OVER I LIKED IT EXCEPT FOR DAHLIA'S ENDING but in my mind shes in the best version of forgotten realms heaven forever and all the gods are like omg ur life was so hard <33 here queen, heres 10000000 years of blessings in death forever. fuck off
