All the rest are bad, but honestly, nothing is worse than Arkansas.

I will honestly only be happy if Fennrin and the Herald end up dead soon. At this point, there is no way for Fennrin to redeem himself. Only his death will serve.

This is a step too far. If the Herald and even Fennrin do this, then Ainreth should violently oppose them. Even if it means their death or his.

Well, glad that the Roux was able to make contact with family via the dreamscape, and perhaps pulling Jay in to meet the family at a distance would be a smart idea. Maybe in the dreamscape, Iris would be able to communicate better. Could the portals being closed by the God's have something to do with Iris not being able to transform and not being able to communicate better? So many things happening, can't wait to see what is next.

Kaylen proves to be a true and good leader. He sees not only the victory but the sacrifice of those that made the victory possible. He spends time, the most precious commodity, seeing and being seen by those that fought and gave all they had. The families of those lost also know that Kaylen knows of their loss and will remember the sacrifice of those that gave all. The King as left, and Thornmere stands; but the threat is perhaps not over. Will the Scots move against them again soon, or will there be other more pressing concerns. Will the King have his army between them and the Scots, or will the Scots find someone else an easier target instead? Tomas and Ronan have made their choices and spoken their vows both in their heart and out loud to each other. They heed the wisdom of Kaylen's words but also the knowledge that he knows, understands, and cares deeply for them anyway.

Lord, Graham's fall from grace was swift and decisive. Of course, with the police no longer commenting, perhaps Graham has turned state's evidence, does England have that, and witness protection? Patsy and Bobbie sound like the British version of snobby white trash from Arkansas that condemns gossip but always pick their feet up in the stall to see if anyone says anything delicious in the bathroom at the local steakhouse. And the descriptions, my god, I can just see them both so clearly. Daphane is rolling over in her grave, she would have never believed it, not her Graham.

Lord, as if Will, Marie, or Travis needed any more publicity; well, I guess maybe Travis, with showbiz, any publicity is good publicity. Will like volleyball, this might allow him to work out some of his aggressions. I swear they are going to have to start making Will's bedpost out of 10 x 8 planks for him to make all of these notches. Great chapter...

Jamal, Devon, and Whip are heading for the first knight they must locate; they all realize what is at stake and what they must be willing to do to succeed. Septimus and the traitor arrived back at the castle but appear to be too late; let's hope that is true. And let's hope that the Warlock, Carel, and his friend in the kitchen are all safe as well.

I may vomit...

Well, Granger arrives in Madrid, reunites with Cardona, and immediately gets pulled into intrigue both personal and professional. But I am glad that he was able to reconnect with Cardona. Cardona's wife's affair may well cause issues between more than just Cardona and the wife. The fact that she chose someone in the French legation will cause a number of issues, between Cardona's family and others, and because of how influential they are, this could even end up involving the King, Queen, or the Prince of Peace. It could definitely make Daventry's job more troublesome, depending on how this is all handled. He will have to keep him in the loop, but not every curve in the loop so to speak. LOL I have no doubt that Granger will handle this all, and his advice to Cardona will be spot on, you just can't always control what happens in a situation like this.

OMG, I just love Henry. Someone needs to set him down; I honestly think Tom and just go through this one question at a time. Tom would explain it as well as he could and would not so without any embellishment.

The level of idiocy is growing, not sure how much more I can deal with...

Kaylen did what had to be done, but it brought him no peace. Then a visitation, and a warning of what is coming. A much larger and stronger force is coming, for the victory of Thornmere now, may well turn into their defeat later. Tomas and Ronan survived the battle, but both were affected by what happened. Much like Kaylen, they will have to figure out how to live with what occurred and how it affected them. They also know that Kaylen knows about them and doesn't condemn them for it but warns them about being careful and keeping their relationship private and secret. The King came, and recognized the sacrifice and bravery of what Thornmere did, and took nothing from them, but gave them praise for their sacrifice.

Some truly amazing stories and authors on this list. If you have not checked out the Quincefield Chronicles by @Celian you truly need to, just so well done from start to finish.

The Herald is dragging Fennrin into something dishonest; you do not build trust and support by lying. You may get some immediate support from the lie, but eventually something will slip and then you lose that support and any trust that has been gained. People already expect the worse from a Shadowforger, and even those this idea is the Herald's, when it blows up, people will turn on Fennrin, not him. Mhalyn knows this is wrong, on some level she realizes it and that is why she is questioning it. Fennrin should take that the heart, if the person that basically views the Herald as her substitute father figure and the man who has sun shining out of his backside has issues, then everyone should as well.

Sometimes we are not ready for love; and sometimes we simply won't allow ourselves to experience it. Love is something that truly only works if freely given and accepted.

Sounds more than interesting.

Well, we appear to have solved Daphane's murder, and it was nothing more nefarious than a senior moment. Of course, that moment may have caused a giddy moment or two for the culprit and his wife. @Summerabbacat is right, I promise that Graham is cussing Daphane and her passing more and more with each passing moment. Her death is going to be his undoing. I do appreciate that the police have kept both Charlie and Louis informed, even if so for just more about Daphane's death. And they will get them more up to date as the situation with Thomas Englert expands. Glad that Constable Burton is getting a new posting with CID, should be good for him. Well, we know that PJ has the perfect gift for Joss, let's hope he can find the same. Louis, Charlie, Tom, and Ian can take a step back, but I still think the artefact will show up some place, no one would have suspected. Only about ten more chapter, WHAT????

Sawyer and Tom both will do what they can to make sure that Frank and Dante are happy, I think they would both give up a great deal to make sure that happens. Blaise is just now truly realizing that Frank is growing up; and what is worse is that the person he thinks he loves is the same person his much younger doppelganger does as well. So, Carolyn finally told Blaise, and I think he is right, Sarah would be better than Britney, as I don't think Alice will stay, not sure where she and her group will end up, but it won't be here, or I don't think so. Blaise is a jealous man, and this isn't going to end well for anyone.

Yarima now knows that both Fennrin and Ainreth are gone; but not why. Enlin is lucky that she still lives, Yarima could have killed her without meaning to; but Yarima found her fascinating after she realized who it was. Glad to know that Enlin is getting better, but she is still in a dangerous position.

Never trust a blackbird... Let us hope our intrepid band of rescuers are gone before Septimus and the traitor can return to the castle. The boy's risk much trying to help this group, let's hope they escape as well.

I hate this time change with a passion that you just can't imagine. We did Romeo and Juliet in year 9, Death of a Salesman in year 10, Julius Ceasar and King Lear in year 11, and the Canterbury Tales and Mid Summer Nights Dream in year 12...

Petre made me want to sit and cry. Ainreth is a good person, yes, he doesn't always pay as much attention to some people and things as he perhaps should, but he is honest, and that is much more than the Herald will ever be. To the point that I am not sure Fennrin dying with the Hearld would bother me much...

Frank was stuck upstairs having a miserable time while Dante and the rest were downstairs having a lovely time. Liked hearing some of the stories, even the ones that were not so nice, gave us some great background that was lacking before. Blaise was just pissy, he seems to be realizing very slowly that Frank isn't a little boy in body at least. Plus, he didn't like the idea of Dante having a good time without him. Alice needs to get back, Dante needs to speak up and let her know what Mistress Carolyn said, and they need to start making some plans.

I swear if Fennrin gets any dumber in regards to what the Herald is doing, I am going to give up... No one can be that naive.
