How the mighty have fallen. You almost feel sorry for Renn. Almost. Even so,he is reaping what he's sown. The price has been steep. His possible redemption came too late and it took losing his identity (along with his junk). This chapter was a good read!

Jolanda getting what she deserved. It must be harder to listen to the others being tortured and it looks like they're just getting started. I wonder who our shooter is and who was shot. And Ade still hasn't figured out that Tac Tenogam is the viper. I do hope Ade survives and figures it out.

Lots happening in this chapter. Good to see Otello. His plan to share the knowledge in the Troubador books will certainly draw the attention of the Darkeness forces and maybe flush out some unforeseen enemies. I'm looking at you Tac Tenogam. The scarred man's exit is cool and a little scary. I'm glad he's on their side. Good to see our boy Josel safe for now. Also, I never noticed any discrepancies in your English. The few oddities I noticed were, I assumed, grammar choices based on the world you've created.

And the pieces move towards the rebel stronghold. This chapter was big in it's scope. Franz is being taught that patience will be rewarded, this time with information, although he's still bullheaded enough to need holding back. Andreuz' conversation with Monteilon shows just what a poor excuse for a human he is. Great chapter

Oooohhh surprises🤔

Interesting. We knew this was likely Ade's end but what a surprise to find why he was sent. I knew Tac Temogam was more than he seemed. This doesn't ɓode well for Zdain. Tac did say Zdain would be called to action. Renn has his chance to get one of his tasks finished but I wonder how Zal's planned attack will affect it. I still have a feeling it is not going to turn out well for him. I hope it's bad. Every chapter is so good and I can't wait for the next.

I enjoyed this story a lot. The ending is sweet. We all need a happy ending right now. (Double entendre intended). This story was heavy enough to keep us invested and light enough to be a fun read. THANK YOU

Kudos to Jared for being the reasonable one. Also, Mark is pretty bad at reading the signs.

Poor Mark. It would have been too easy for him to say to Jared that he needed to talk to Sandro. And maybe not get drunk when you do.

And there it is. Mark finally worked out what we all knew. Admitting it will hopefully help him figure out what to do.

We forget the Franz is a teenager, with all the arrogance, ignorance and misjudging of their own importance. At various times you to want smack him,hug him and laugh at him in equal measure. I still don't think he's realized that his grand adventure is part of a deadly game. He's a complex, messy, and well written character. All that is to say, I love him 😋

It's often the case that people struggling with their own gayness make themselves act homophobic just to prove to themselves that they're not gay. At least Mark realizes what his did is about him and not Sandro

Mark seem more unhappy with Sandro being gay than anyone else is. He needs ti figure himself out

P.S. I love Zdain declaring, like a petulant child, that Ade fucked him twice.

Tac unsettled me from the start. He sees everyone as a pawn. He's a pre manipulator who wants to lead the republicans to victory so he can be in inpower. He reminds me of Robspierre. I don't believe for one minute he won't send Zdain and his brother to the front. He used the threat to ensure Elyssa did just as he wanted. . That accomplished so easily does notbode well for his promise
