The minor fandoms

Errin why aren't we included in the plans?

Twylla what plans?

Merek the plans the other fandoms make in order to survive a crisis or to just be together

Silas personally, I'd rather not be included

Twylla agreed

Sorrow I'll have to agree with Silas, too much drama is happening on my end

Twylla I'm still recovering from the war, Lormere was badly damaged

Errin I really thought you guys would be with me on this one

Salisbury, why?

I've finished The Scarecrow Queen, and these are my thoughts. The story was nice. Errin was a really nice character. But then there's Lief. Then there's Merek. And there's Twylla.

THERE'S SPOILERS AHEAD(of course).

I honestly really love the friend/lover/close-to-the-main-character-in-whatever-way turned villain, and it was amazing when Salisbury did it in The Sleeping Prince. Lief was someone close to both Errin and Twylla. And then he became a villain.

Despite that, we slowly begin to see him acting against Aurek, and being with The Rising, at the same time still with Aurek? He had this whole emo faze thing(which I really liked).

But it confused the hell out of me. Sure, it's amazing. But then you finish more pages, and you get to the end, then you close the book and ask yourself, "Wait what?"

He died.

Okay. But then they end the book with him not being really redeemed, with them saying he might have felt bad and all that. I like that there's at least that, but he's more of just... felt bad for? It's kind of confusing in my brain, but I mostly get it. Still, what Salisbury did to Lief felt too unfinished.

I've seen so many people complain about that, and I won't be another to torture Salisbury, but I'm just saying, I feel like he wasn't done justice enough, because there just wasn't enough time.

I think she could have done it better.

On the other hand, there's Twylla. She was an amazing character in The Sin Eater's Daughter. She couldn't fight, read, write, was kind of hopeless, but then she was also the kind of character who could think for herself and didn't let others dictate her, at least by the end of the book.

I love these kind of female characters who can take care of themselves without being absolutely masculine, and Salisbury's Errin and Twylla symbolise that perfectly.

Twylla's also great in The Sleeping Prince. She doesn't get much development in that one, but she barely got much screen time, and she hadn't really done much until towards the end of the book.

Then, The Scarecrow Queen comes along. She's also good, at the beginning at least. And then she gets more character development, and she begins to get more courage and begins to trust herself, and while that's amazing, she also becomes this high position obsessed, leader obsessed woman?

And then Merek goes and abdicates his throne, then giving the crown to Twylla?

I've got to ask Salisbury, what? Just what?

Honestly, this was just a post to vent, there are many amazing things in the whole trilogy, as in all of the three books. I might make a post about the things I liked, one by one. If I feel like it.
