This book. It killed me. Hi, I'm dead and crying.
So much was revealed in the last chapter that my brain could of fell out of my head.
Also there are many spoilers in this post (duh)
Everything wraps up into a nice bow and to find out Peet is their uncle? Best plot twist. Also the first born isn't king but a throne warden? Also a good twist. I feel for Janner and him feeling a bit jealous. I mean, he's got a hard job already but now he knows the gravity of it. In his place, I'd feel the same way. Meanwhile Mister Tinkerbell is supposed to be king and he's reckless as a sack of thwaps. I wonder if Esben was the same. Anyways, it was nice to see Peet and some of his backstory. He really had the short end of the stick with how much happened to him. At least I get a little idea of what a throne warden is, though it won't be enough to actually partipate in the writing contest this year. I'll aim for the drawing one! Also, (this is a very fumbly post) it's good to have background as to why Podo was A SUPER JERK (I cannot say that loud enough) to Peet. The fact that Peet is related to him kinda makes me more mad at him though. It's not like Peet wanted YOUR WIFE TO DIE. SO SORRY SHE'S DEAD BUT MAN. I STILL LOVE YOU BUT IM SO HAPPY THAT NIA STOOD UP TO YOU. These characters have a lot of flavor.
I read this last chapter as it was raining hard outside- it felt oddly more immersive and wasn't at all planned.
While I continue screaming internally, feel free to celebrate my joy for this book! I'll be getting book 2 very soon to continue my read through with my friend.
For Peet's sake, be nice Podo!
