I have spoiler questions. Love the book but I'm really, really confused. Who is the major? Did Oberon die? why was Oberon involved? What happened to Erin at the end? ( I read the chapter twice). It seems to me like the plot is the god of death was building a ghost power battery which the architect disassembled. Then out of nowhere some portal opens up and they get thread weapons that completely disconnect her from all power sources....then she goes somewhere. Is this a correct summary?

I think overal the Solstice battle was amazing. There were some parts I liked a little less than the others. But overal, it was great.

So to piggy back on aquaeus's comment I too feel like there are a bunch of people who need to calm down a bit. I feel (that's what they taught us to say) that you just need to overlook the haters and do what you do. You have provided a wonderful story so far. I will continue to support and read your every word and let the chips fall where they may.

When I see "secure the other targets" that, to me, implies the initial target has already been secured.

I don't know, I re went through the last little bit, and it doesn't sound like they got Erin. Lert heard explosions and left, is how I read it. Will probably get catharsis, and extra mad at Roshal, which should be next books focus, if I'm extrapolating right. Also, Moore and Halrac? I was crying!

Can someone remind me who Lert is?

I read a couple comments about an Erin slave arc being rough. You have no faith! Erin ain’t gonna put up with that shit, thus is the beginning of the end for roshal! I’m here for it. Also, they literally just beat the goddess of death, so maybe your favorite characters dying isn’t gonna be as big a deal as you think. Just keep reading. This is good story telling

I really, really hope that Pirate is not falling prey to what happens with some works, e.g. the Walking Dead (TV series, not the comics). If there is constant tension with no catharsis, your audience gets worn out. This event has had the biggest build up of tension in the whole series; the lack of catharsis is why we are seeing so many negative comments. I'm hopeful that it comes in the next chapter but I'm concerned that it won't and I won't have the mental energy to continue. Finally, I'm also concerned about a potential Erin slave arc. Not least because even the offscreen sexual abuse (in the previous slave arc) was disturbing to me; if that is done (or even threatened) to Erin I think it changes the tone too far to something I won't want to read.

I'm trying to process. I'll probably be rereading it just to make sure. That said, I found this chapter exciting in the moment but ultimately unsatisfying and annoying. My suspension of disbelief was repeatedly broken (primarily but not exclusively due to the portrayal of Kasigna). p.s. I'm already exceptionally annoyed with the death of Moore. Or the lack of appearance of the Horns. Or the fact that Theillige didn't get to join them. To the point where I may give the story a break for a while. That aside, if there's an Erin slave arc, it would likely kill any interest I have in the story.

I'm just a bit confused as to what was happening in the last few paragraphs. Perhaps someone could spell it out for me?

I thought the ending was exciting fwiw. A lot of commenters on the website seem like babies who need their Erin power fantasy

At this rate I’m starting suspect goddamn Earth is gonna start invading with Sci-Fi weaponry and super soldiers

The loss of snu snu beach is not acceptable more so with how much snu snu must be had to replenish the population

Thats was wild and crazy!

Ow. Just ow… Though the style almost saves the reader. By pulling the perspective back and telling in a colder fashion, it doesn’t hurt as much to lose people. Mercy or opportunity lost? Better to spare the reader or destroy them? Or is there more to come? Great writing.

Again, Erin just waits and everyone else dies and at the end everyone is scrambling to save her useless behind again. This was underwhelming, let’s see if the next chapter will add some context.

Damn you ! *shake his fist*

That ending ... I. I have no words for the long wait until next Saturday. Just that the Solstice event was amazing.

Dead gods. I just couldn't figure out what to listen to with this - found an orchestral violin mix. 2 play lists and 3 hours in and every moment, every scene was the same feeling as a cinematic endscene. Still on the high... ROOOOOoAAAAAAAaarRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Jesus

Well I’d say I’ll have nightmares but I can hear the morning birds

Dang it. I should’ve paced myself. 😮‍💨🤦🏽‍♀️

What an epic chapter except for the last couple paragraphs. I’m salty

Absolutely wild, I loved it

Pace was not an option

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!!!!

Is was very very good

Oh boy, equal parts exited and scared. I will pace myself like patrick star rations his chocolate. Thanks for the chapters and enjoy your day off

Pirate, you keep saying pace yourselves. You know that's not going to happen

gracious... fine passing of chapters

Awesome, thank you! I am still on 9.61G. Waiting! Until my winter holiday break. Looking forward to some nice reading time.

1m I’ll me don’t with this is an hour 😁

I don't think I will pace myself. You can't control me.
