Lief went on. ‘Raising hatred of my heir is the perfect way to make me fear risking my life by attacking the Sister of the South.The guardian is a dangerous enemy—subtle, quick-thinking, and very clever.’

‘It is someone we all know and trust,’ Barda muttered.

I spent all of November getting pumped to do Roddacember then immediately forgot, I might try and catch up (we’ll see) but I drew Jasmine again because I wanted to make a full colour painting of her, not just a sketch.

There was a pause, and then he felt Sonia touch his quaking arm.

'At least, however terrible it was, the dream proves that Sholto is still alive,' she said quietly. 'It also proves he chose the right Door.'

Looking out for each other count 7827482

[zahroreadsthings]

How confusing it was, to be back in Weld yet not to feel the old sense of home!

Something something changing too much to fit into an old space comfortably something something

[zahroreadsthings]

'It will not be for long, Nocki!' Sonia whispered. 'Rye, Dirk and I will leave again in the morning, and with luck I will be back very soon, to give you the best of news, and the Warden the shock of his life!'

Annocki shook her head. Her eyes were bleak.

In another life this wouldve been a ripper romance... As it is it's not quite what rye's thinking either lmao but either way it wouldve been nice to expand upon their relationship

[zahroreadsthings]

'Stand aside." He put his right hand to the glinting carved surface, and pushed.

Nothing happened. Cursing under his breath Dirk pushed again, this time with both hands and as hard as he could, but still the Door did not move.

[zahroreadsthings]

What had brought Tallus to the Keep? Surely he was not going to try yet again to persuade the Warden to put Sholto's skimmer repellent into use throughout the city? That idea had been rejected several times already. The Warden flatly refused to admit that a repellent might work where his spells of protection did not.

This actually made me hate the warden more than anything else so far lmaoooo what a useless cunt. Just trial it fam

[zahroreadsthings]

'[...] I left for the same reason you and all the other volunteers did.'

Rye blinked. 'You - what?'

Potential thoughts:

Sonia has a brother?

Sonia gay?

Sonia wants glory?

Sonia has a complex?

[zahroreadsthings]

Dirk frowned. It infuriated him that because of his oath to the Warden it had been left to Sonia to tell Faene about Weld, about the skimmers, about the three magic Doors, gold, silver and wood, that were the only way through the Wall.

This rules lawyering is hilarious but also as sonia says in the next paragraph they're *taking* faene to weld like!! Tell her where you're going LMAO

[zahroreadsthings]

Then, with a jerk, the terrible backwards slide stopped. Someone had caught hold of one of his wrists. Someone was holding him fast as the water rushed past him. And as the torrent eased to a trickle, someone was pulling his arm, helping him to scramble back onto the rock's surface.

His mind was full of Dirk. But it was not Dirk he saw when he shook the water from his eyes.

It was Sonia.

Crying they keep on looking out for and saving each other. I couldve made a compilation but it wouldve been like half a book long

[zahroreadsthings]

The holding pit was where Dirk would come. But Dirk's plans were nothing to Sonia. Dirk had not been her companion since she left Weld. Dirk had not rescued her from the fell-dragon's net, or hidden with her in the goat shed while the bloodhog prowled, or seen her snatched from the false grave in Fleet.

But Rye had. And now, in this most terrifying of all her trials, Sonia was trusting in Rye, hoping against hope that he could help her.

Rye knew he could not betray that trust. He picked up the pebbles, and began to climb.

Rye's spent the entire book focused on finding dirk so he can hand the reigns over to him and trust him to make everything right but THIS is the point when he realises he cant rely on his brother to solve this particular problem and will need to go ahead alone. He's spent the whole book following in his brother's footsteps but this is a quite literal fork in the path and he chooses to go the other way

I want to shake his shoulders like boy YOU are the hero of this story YOU have the strength to go forward!! Pretty sure he still believes dirk should take the reigns going forward lol which yeah fair enough, rye's still the babiest brother, but this moment is so precious to me like it feels like a real turning point for him

[opal-the-dreamer-archive]

big fan of how the three doors takes the very human need to collect things u find outdoors and makes it essential to the plot

[zahroreadsthings]

So Sonia had kept the pebbles with her when she had changed her clothes in Fleet.

🥺

[zahroreadsthings]

Anyway two for uncomfortable wool hats rodda characters have worn to conceal their identities

[zahroreadsthings]

'We are on no side,' he said. 'By ancient treaty we do not interfere in the wider affairs of Dorne. We took charge of the gift we have passed to you for the sake of an old friendship, but we can do no more.'

Rodda literally tells us like Right Here that the fellan are in it for themselves exclusively but we're all so wrapped up in the conventions of the hero's journey and supernatural aid/side characters assisting them that we straight missed it lol
