currently reading baru 2 and apparitor is so funny to me like i know he’s done some scheming and misc war crimes from the first book and the masquerade has him on the ropes but this man is so earnest and emotional that i have no idea how he’s survived this long among the likes of farrier and hesychast (and baru herself)

They've never had a normal conversation, not once

Only just started Tyrant, but it is so interesting to me that Apparitor doesn't seem to have a patron? In the dramatis personae at the beginning of the book Baru has Farrier listed as her patron and Xate Yawa has Hesychast listed as her patron, but no one is listed for Svir.

My current theories, in declining order of sanity are:

his patron is dead (like the guy in the Elided Keep)

his patron is Stargazer (who has not appeared on page thus far and who I think may just be avoiding all of the Drama with the main gang)

his patron is Renascent (specifically because she thought it would be interesting and to cause problems for Farrier and Hesychast)

his patron is Lindon Satamine, who is a cryptarch in a different cell and that is why he got promoted in the Navy (Ormsment thinks he was promoted ahead of "more qualified women" because the Throne doesn't like the Navy women. which could also be true but I think this explains why he was on a random expedition to the North)

I love Apparitor. I love this peevish little bitch. I love how he and Baru start pushing and shoving each other like snotty kids on the playground whenever they’re in the same room together. He’s a Stakhi prince, and he hasn’t acted like it once.

apparitor is the funniest. baru will be like "i want some coffee" and he'll be like "oh do you want it bitter like your betrayal of tain hu, cold like your heart when you betrayed tain hu, or black like the last thing tain hu saw" and baru will be screaming inside but outwardly will be like "just a latte thanks" and i could read an infinite amount of this dynamic

In this book series, a longsword-wielding lesbian is initially in opposition to an emotionally damaged main character who she eventually forms a bond with. Sadly, their story ends in tragedy, as she gives up her life to help the other obtain a powerful position in an evil empire as part of a shadowy ruling group. Before she can take power, however, the other character suffers brain damage of some kind that limits her ability to perceive parts of the world. Once she finally obtains power, she is taken under the wing of a sinister leader who puts on a friendly facade, has to deal with the agenda of one particularly tall, pale member of said group, and must survive attacks by a close relative of the first character.
