Ok guys, can we talk about the fact that Janner was literally 12 YEARS OLD throughout the series?! Listen, I LOVE Podo and Nia, and I understand why they put pressure on Janner. HOWEVER, they put too much on him too fast. I know they had to tell him he was The Throne Warden, but they should have explained it earlier, before basically just making him constantly have to worry about his siblings, who aren't even that much younger than him...? Like they could have given him more warning in my opinion. Also in book three, when he has a bad day and was upset, Nia acted like nothing was wrong, and didn't even ask him if he was ok. After he had given up what he wanted to do for Kalmar. I understand he grew to love The Durgan Guild, but at the same time, he was upset, and felt ignored by his family. Nia is a good mom, she irritates me to the max sometimes though. Also the "Blindplopping" was good for Janner, and kept him safe, I'll admit that. But to drug him, and drop him in the middle of the forest in the middle of winter was crazy. Also forcing him to overeat. I am sure that he is capable, and I get why Nia agreed to it. It's still unacceptable though. She as HIS MOTHER, needs to do a better job at being emotionally there for him. I like Nia, but be for real.

I was just reading book 1 yesterday and was thinking about that. They really did put a lot of pressure on him
OH MY GROUNDS EXACTLYYYYYYYYYYY
I really wish there was a chapter where she actually noticed how upset Janner was with his role during the 3rd book and sat him down to talk with him. LIKE HOW HARD IS IT TO SIT DOWN WITH YOUR SON AND HAVE A CONVO ABOUT HIS RESPONSIBILITY AND WHAT HE ACTUALLY FEELS ABOUT IT?! WHATS NOT WORKING ABOUT IT?! WHAT HE FEELS AND WISHES COULD CHANGE, SO THEY COULD ACTUALLY WORK TO MAKE THINGS GOOD FOR HIM TOO?! LIKE HE’S JUST UPSET FOR MOST OF THE SERIES BROOO IT MAKES ME SO SAD 😭
