Honestly a book about a rider who was once a servant and a blind dragon meant for death is such a cool concept. It’s could of felt like Eragon v2 but Songs of chaos very much feels like it’s own story. Also I’m loving how the main female character isn’t constantly being described as pretty or focusing on her looks because she’s also a princess.
Holt should find what happened to Kalanta before meeting Eso.
So he could be 1- Killer of Adaskar (technically shush) 2- Burier of Vald 3- Notifier of Kalanta's Demise
I need Holt to be all jitters and nerves while Eso over the moon because the grim reaper is here to take him.
There is a minor Adaskar/Talia/Holt parallel: all of them do hear and do pay attention to what Ferruccio says.
But it is only Holt who make an effort to engage with him.
Holt being enamored by Adaskar because he couldn't imagine standing up to the fire elder let alone killing him is lowkey funny
Yes. It is true, he doesn't have the zeal of Adaskar or even Talia. But that what makes his moment of boldness all the better. No, not escaping the fire flight- the one where he asked THE Fire Elder to be his deluxe furnace.
love that in all of this, my boy's legacy to the world isn't one of the few living riders that bodied an incursion for three consecutive months and lived to tell the tale, but snatching a body. literally couldn't hope for something better.
i hope miller draws on as much comedy from this as possible.

love that rain intercepted the elder, managed to kill thunder as her entire flight came down on her, and still fled.
but it might be the less exiting option: thunder... sure it makes sense that the elder killed rain and thunder hated what his elder had became. but he has so little set-up overall...
Freya and Holt has such an interestingly contrasting influence on Talia.
Freya's heart guided her and she would never refuse to oblige despite the woes that would bring her. And she calls it right.
Holt tells Talia that when she left her father to his war, that was the right thing, all she would've gotten is a broken bond and the order being implicated in a war of men. She knows not to be guided by her emotions and loyalties and does the most reasonable and responsible thing given the circumstances, and calls it right.
And the delicious part and something i appreciate Miller for doing here, is that if Talia Fynn Freya and Holt were faced with an injustice, Freya and Holt are the likeliest to agree on a course.
(hey remember when holt in ascendant expected that talia would strike him for insolence because that is just the way things are? yea miller doesn't)
