*coughing and crying and covered in blood* what the FUCK
He did it. That magnificent son of a bitch, he did it. He managed to tie the entire series together and somehow make everything make sense. About halfway through any SGE book, I (of little faith) am like “There is no way this is all going to come together cohesively and make any sense by the end and fit into established canon.” but jesus christ it does. It always does. For the eighth time. And I am always somehow surprised. You bastard, you’ve done it again. THIS is why I’ve stuck with the series for a decade.
But I do need to go mourn a lot of deaths now. And like…….. WOW the deaths. It takes a special series to alert you to a death SEVEN BOOKS AGO and still make it incredibly impactful when it actually occurs, even though you go the whole book knowing it’ll happen. AND MIDAS!!!!!! Poor Midas god I’m crying and throwing up over Midas. The mermaids taking him to rest in peace away from the tyranny of men…………
Also I love how the plot of the prequel duology (and the first book in retrospect if we’re being honest?) is “Rhian is really gay and it causes a lot of problems”
TL;DR soman expect my therapy bill in the mail shortly

"in the books Rhian is always described as having blue eyes and Rafal having green eyes… and that’s how it is on the cover of Rise of the SGE too… but on THIS cover Rafal has blue eyes and Rhian has green eyes… even though Rhian having blue eyes is explicitly mentioned in this book as well… spicy"
