I Read What?!

This is a short one but I've had a really busy day. Sorry!

( Hey, villains villaining here! )

Last chapter, we had Cadderly acting a bit unstable while the villains are doing villainy things.

This time...ah, back with the old crew. Let's see where this goes.

( They haven't been very interesting yet this book, but that might change... )

So now that poor Blythe's life has basically been destroyed, Aidan's off to go meet a different cousin.

I'm sure Blythe's story will come back and this won't be a one and done sort of situation...

( I'm not sure of that at all, actually, but admittedly, it's been a long time since I read this book... )

In under the wire! Still, I'll take it. Now if I can just catch up on the other stuff I need to update for this blog. (Someday! I promise!)

Anyway, last time, we caught up with the villains and Carlotta implied that the Necromantic battle had fatal consequences for one of our heroes...is she right?

( Taking bets... )

Okay, so technically this one is late, because it's past midnight. But in spirit, it's still Thursday night, so I'm going to pretend I'm on time.

So last time, Cadderly met with a wizard who was both not evil and actually competent. That's a rarity for Salvatore's books, I think. He doesn't really have much by way of answers though. It does seem like, for all that this is the "Cleric Quintet", what's going on with Cadderly goes beyond normal cleric...dom?

( But now, invasion of the body snatchers )

Hey, a whole week of sticking to a schedule. If I can keep this up, maybe I CAN do the next WOLAS book! (Because that fucker needs a designated weekend date)!

Now if only I can catch up on table of contents and the entry post. Oops.

Anyway, last time, the baby was born! And Blythe and Tevis seem like they're going to be solid, even though his ambitions are officially thwarted. Happy ending, time to move on???

( Maybe not! )

So I'm going to try to get back into a schedule. The tentative plan is Castle of Deception on Tuesday, Night Masks on Thursday, and Flight of the Raven on Saturday/Sunday. We'll see if I can stick to it!

In the meantime, let's get back to our wholesome crossdressing crew.

( well, sadly, not anymore... )

So, I'm going to be at a conference for the rest of the week. I'm hoping, after that, to get back to a more definite schedule for these reviews. This past year has been really scattered, but four to five days between posts has never been my goal.

I'm also realizing my guide post is incredibly out of date and I aim to fix that soon.

Anyway, last time, Rufo faced consequences that were probably deserved but I feel sad about nonetheless, and Danica engaged in some revisionist history. (And I reread my own reviews to make sure of that. Meh.)

But let's see where this chapter takes us.

( oh fuck this suddenly got interesting... )

So last time, we got a pretty interesting development as Blythe herself actually got to be the viewpoint character for part of the story.

It's a nice beat in a story segment that has gotten a bit repetitive. It's been nice to catch up with Hart and Ilsa, but we've kind of gone over the whole Aidan likes Blythe but Blythe loves Tevis, Hart and Ilsa support Tevis and Aidan doesn't really intend to fight beats ad nauseum.

I'm also looking forward to move onto Erinn.

( There are only so many times we can go over the same beats... )

So last time, we caught up with the villains. This time, back with the heroes, who are trying to figure out a way out of Westerin,

( Those darned RPG towns, don't you know? )
