So excited for Louis, more so than I think he is. This could really push his art to a wider audience, and yes, all of this individually and collectively is art. I am a little worried about Charlie, I understand how hard it is to just bounce back from something like this, but maybe getting to meet Eillen and see the manor house will do him some good. And what the hell is wrong with Graham. Did he except them not to mention what they talked about the last time they had really been around Daphane? I promise you, something on either her phone or laptop is going to trigger something. I bet our intrepid trio will either come up with an idea over the weekend, or something will come to the fore. They will be on the hunt soon. Maybe the hunt for Graham, as he does a runner. LOL

Fennrin and Ainreth did what they had to do, not only to survive themselves but to save their people. I do hope that Petre is okay, I will be very upset if he is not. I am surprised that Yarima was in the middle of the battle, if she truly wants to kill her mother, why isn't she working on that instead of constantly going after Fennrin and Ainreth, yes, I know she wants their abilities, but it seems like she would have enough to try and go after her mother. Oretski is like Yarima, he seems to have more than one ability.

Well, Alice's reasoning makes sense, but I do wish Dante had taken the chance and come clean about what Mistress Carolyn told him. I am glad that she is working on getting custody of Frank however, I was worried that nothing had come of this. Lord, I almost felt sorry for just a moment for Blaise, but it went away. I truly believe that Frank loves Dante as much as he can love another person. Lord, this is about to get very uncomfortable for more than one person.

As always, thanks for the look back.

Ainreth can be a total ass. I don't know why, maybe because despite it all that I do like Ainreth, but the Herald makes me uneasy as well. Petre is too good for Ainreth, he should be treated better.

Just WOW... I don't know why, but I just do not fully trust the Herald...

WOW, what a family... I still want to see what the back story with Petre is...

Oy to the Vey...

Let's hope that if that is the plan of the Queen, either her daughter kills her first, or Ainreth and Fennrin really do start training more and get ready to counter any moves their enemies make.

Well, there are levels of stupidity, but that one takes the cake...

Ainreth has no sense of tactical ability at all does he? While I am glad that Ainreth and Fennrin talked and know now that each of them cares about the other, if Ainreth doesn't stop being a total idiot, one or both of them will not live long enough to progress in their relationship.

Well, Ainreth's jealousy proved to be useful. The man was a spy, but was he there to kill Fennrin or what? Ainreth needs to stop drinking, he is a mess when he does it. How the hell did a fire start? Is there more than one spy there?

That is the problem with being drunk, you are never really sure what you have done or said; and you don't remember the most important part of what was said. I don't know how Petre puts up with Ainreth, he may be a hero, but he is hard to take care of. Not sure about Ainreth mentioning Fennrin that much, didn't this just put a bullseye on them both, or more of one than was already there?

Fennrin is doing better with his training and finds out that Ainreth wasn't much to start with and still doesn't like to use his sword. He knows that Ainreth is down, but not why but in trying to help Ainreth he found out why the yearly celebration never is easy for him to deal with. Ainreth may truly have feelings for Fennrin, but while he is drunk is not the best time to have this conservation.

Well, Luther and Jamal have been joined by two more in their quest. And they seek a third, I wonder if it was him that was witness to Jamal's encounter with the dragon? The Warlock and Carel made a lucky escape from being caught where they were not supposed to be. But what is this old passage? Could it be more than it first appears?

OMG, I just had the most interesting thought. Could the artefact be at Ian's cottage? Could his Aunt for one reason or another ended up with it and it just stuck on a shelf in a curio? I am glad that Louis got Charlie out and nothing beats a walk in lovely settings to relax and take your mind of what is bothering you. I am glad that they are involving Ian more in their life, he needs friends and confidence. Louis is in a position to turn his property into something special for a couple of artisans. Tom will help him get the buildings ready. Can't wait to see what happens next?

Ainreth is way too cocky. They put the traps for exactly this reason, and because he was invisible, he did not bother being careful and checking on things but expecting his invisibility to be all he needed. Luckily, he had Fennrin there to protect him in the end.

So, Fennrin has his first mission, and it will be with Ainreth. Why do I feel that it will be harder because of that? I would love to know a little more about the past, both between Ainreth and the Herald and Petre, and how he came to be assigned to Ainreth.

Ainreth is certainly being unusual in his manner of training for Fennrin, but perhaps with abilities like these, you have to be. Fennrin wants to learn and that is half the battle. Fennrin was hurt when the children were so afraid of him, but by creating the shadow rabbit and making them happy, they were able to see another side of him. I would think it was very hard to always be feared, would wear on your soul after a while.

Does Blaise truly not see anything wrong in his thoughts and actions? I would think that there were restraints and conventions of what would be considered responsible and respectable actions between one generation and another. I do love the easy camaraderie of Dante, Frank, Tom, and Sawyer, however.

Ainreth seems to be more jackass than hero at this point. Petre is interesting and must have the patience of a saint. Fennrin has no desire to kill and seems horrified of the idea, let's hope it stays that way.

Ainreth and the Herald obviously have issues in the past. But the Herald's behavior is what I find odd, she almost seems to be annoyed by Fennrin.

Fennrin has been whisked away and landed in Oz... All we need is the ruby slippers. For someone that was not even truly surviving, this has to be out of the world crazy.

So, we meet Fennrin, who is nothing but skin and bones. He has spent years being taken advantage of and mistreated, but that has ended and the one that got rich doing so, will find out that Karma can be a bitch.

Ainreth seems to have meet his match, and here he was thinking this was a boring station and he was being punished by being sent here. Well, maybe he was, perhaps someone sent him there to be attacked?
