George's invulnerability and luck runs out with this injury. Death or devastating injury in war is capricious and often a matter of inches away. We hardly knew Ballvin, but George saw much of himself in the young boy. Not only is he injured, but he's losing his captain, ship, and cremated. It's all a rough blow.
-
I thoroughly enjoyed this first book of George's adventures. He's a full lieutenant now well ahead of schedule and wars tend to lead to more advancement. The future is rosy.
-
George has now taken his first blood in battle. He is also honing his own perspective on happiness, enjoy the moments at hand.
-
Granger is on his upward path, a path which necessarily parts him from Travers. Now he faces the future demands of family expectations and the Navy largely alone save for his shipboard dalliances, which look promising.
-
There has been no indication of Nathan or Samuel doing any due diligence in vetting these contracts and it's this method which has put him and all who know him in this fix.
-
Maybe, maybe not. Nathan hasn't provided any philosophy behind what he does beyond for coin and getting rid of problems. He's not a stellar example of humanity and morality himself.

Always happy to help. -
Helmsley is a vicious, ruthless bastard. Not only does he want Nathan dead, but everyone he knows and he's shed innocent blood doing it. His type of fanatic will never stop looking for him either. I had the feeling he should have put down Helmsley before he left the keep. I was right. I understand why he wants to leave Brohm, but he's wrong. They're safer together.

Another meaning of odoriferous is to be morally offensive. -

Much less odoriferous than forgetting to change the litter box, not to mention the baleful glares from miffed cats. -
I do chuckle at some of the UK police procedures, like needing to report triggering a speed camera and locking up pepper spray. Things were simpler before paperwork overwhelmed real police work. This turned out pretty well. Domestics are the most dangerous calls police go on. You often end up fighting both sides. I guess this blows Jamie's attempt to evade Mike.

Maybe it needs new glasses.

Clara calling out Grey for turning Dave into a monster was a sheer break from her stolid Druidic strength into plebian pablum. It's a weakness which is disappointing when stoic unity is needed to get them out of this fix. Turning Dave was the natural progression of their life bond. As wolves they seem more attuned to this place and it to them. Why change back when they have an advantage?

Wisteria is all over the place here at this house. -
I found this interesting. Here in the US we call them reserves. The city where I live has never used them, but smaller departments and the sheriff's department does. In my younger days I used to ride with the police, but it was casual and I never wore a uniform. I was able to do it mainly because no one had the nerve to say no. There are so many state regulations now this type thing wouldn't be allowed. It was great fun back in the day most of the time. No matter the country, it seems a universal rite to give nicknames in police and military units. Sometimes they're based on names, appearance, or odd situations. They aren't always complimentary. This evoked some good memories.
-
Yes, I got them mixed up, but they're headed there next. If I were them, I'd get bedrolls, food, supplies, and get lost for awhile.

Create an album in the Gallery and share it there.

Probably my earlier comment. Brohm's actions since have laid those concerns to rest for me.
-
So far their moves have been predictable. Griff gave Nathan the ring and assignment so it's a known point. The logical move for a hunter is to watch the inn. Are they being toyed with? Normally Lords only have control over their own lands. How far is Helmsley's reach? I can understand Brohm not having a safe bolt hole to flee too, but Nathan should have planned for this eventuality.
-
Admit it. You want Mike to stroke out.

I'm an only child.

Augury was a Greco-Roman religious practice of divination by studying the actions of birds.
-
This is the first they've felt the death. It's finally caught up with them through time. Directly experiencing the horror will take time to recover from.
-
As expected for an only child, Mike has zero kiddie tolerance. Though the twins must really like him to put up with his drama. I get the impression Liam is testing him. The towel cinch tutoring was a little weird. Now for a blind, double date at the mall. It's commonly called pure agony.

About like they scared Mablin and the others when they killed the green?
