Consensus on my friend finishing the first Emperor’s Edge book at my recommendation:
**WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD**
She loves Amaranthe (don’t we all)
She likes Sicarius but he worries her (isn’t she in for a treat)
Sespian is our smol adorable brain boy and he deserves the world.
She finds his crush on Amaranthe adorable.
If, and I quote, “this crap becomes a love triangle” she’s “rage-quitting”
She loved Dunn and was so happy that Sespian got a friend that she definitely flipped out on me a couple pages later when she began suspecting...
That was mostly because when she told me she loved Dunn I didn’t say a word to her I was just like “aren’t Lindsay’s characters amazing 🥰🥰🥰”
She dislikes book one Akstyr and doesn’t approve of his teenage angst.
She does, however, love Maldynado against her will.
Books is the only one with common sense. She loves him irrevocably. She’s compared herself to Amaranthe and wants to know where she can get a Marl “Books” Mugdildor to keep her in line.
She loves when Amaranthe takes Sicarius on missions because he’s always exasperated with her and he always mumbles.
To which I responded “Remember though Sicarius doesn’t mumble he’s an eloquent well-trained assassin with linguistic fluidity-“
“-who happens to mumble.”
She was very offended when they tried to make Mal leave his chickens.
She tried so hard to guess the plot points and still got them wrong.
She quote “read it for four hours straight” will “never forgive [me] for this” and is quote “never reading one of [my] books again”
“Take this stupid thing back it hurt my feelings”
So, long story short, she loved it and she’s one of us now.
