My Review:
“Please don’t say that,” Arram begged. “If you won’t tell me why—”
I will not. You have a destiny. You aren’t allowed to know it.
➥ Lightning snakes?! Way too magical and incredible to never be mentioned again in nineteen published works within the Tortall universe.
➥ All of Arram’s devotion to healing and “repaying the Gods for our Gift” and do we ever see Numair heal anything? In fact, in Wild Magic, his exact quote is:
The problem is that as a warrior-mage my talents are limited, and I have no healing magic at all.
We’ve got almost 500 pages here that stand in contradiction to this. I’m not sure if the plan in the rest of the series is to somehow erase this knowledge or skill but I have no idea how you would even do that. And if you do, why did we spend so much freaking time reading about Arram healing over and over again, forcing himself to be in heartbreaking and nauseating situations that would have no bearing on his future?➟ You can’t keep pushing more and more foreshadowing on us when we already know what happens. There would be nothing wrong with just letting Ozorne be a sweet boy or teenager and have what happens later turn him into the monster he becomes. You don’t have to keep pushing the ‘Ozorne the dick’ narrative every time he’s mentioned. Even with how starved for friendship Arram was when they met, he wouldn’t have remained friends with Ozorne year after year if he was always a massive douche.
