Thjazi's proving his dangerously average WIS more and more with each reveal. I don't have Beacon, but some alleged cooldown moments are making me side-eye tf out of this man, however good his intentions.
Dragging Julien off his horse, and trying to get him deeper into the manor TWICE, were actions driven by pure emotion—not intelligence, and certainly not emotional intelligence. It seems like he has not seriously considered what Julien's death (and Alba's on top of it) would do to Aranessa's mental health at this point. Callowyn is dead, and...
...the doors to Faerie closing may have been the Cloak's fault to begin with. "The damage of our first attempt" sure is a mild way to put it.
Telling Hal about the paint without telling him about the Stone??! And you're saying WHAT could have happened at the play without it??! Dubious methods indeed.
He rubbed elbows with some shady factions, from the Lana Strossa to the Gallows Choir, seemingly without asking enough questions. Yeah dude, of course that 20-year-old coulda fought in the rebellion. The Choir recruits tweens.
This makes the story better, though. The main characters no longer feel like they facilitated a Good Consequences Boulder that Thjazi pushed downhill. They need a whole lot more than faith in him and his NPC allies to make good plans.
