I'm rereading The tower of fools /Narrenturm (the 1st tome of Hussite Trylogy) after playing KCD and OMG I'M HAVING SO MUCH FUN. Thank god there was no KCD when I was a kid because I would go insane

It's not really a surprise because it's my favourite book series, but I'm literally thinking 'huh what would Henry do here?' and damn, him and Reynevan could actually get on quite well.

Also, I think Szarlej and Father Goodwin are pretty much the same person, and I LOVE it

(I had the biggest crush on Szarlej after reading the book for the first fime at like 12... I can remember talking with girls my age about our 'book husbands' and amongst Cardans and Kaz Brekkers I tried to explain that my crush is this banished priest... he might not be a priest but we don't know, and he's a good thieve and a fighter and he bullies the main character or occasionally threatens him and we don't really know his real name but he's got green eyes and-)

the arthurian myth-inspired brothers...

crossroads of ravens gave us geralt being a little bit stupid and for that reason i like it. he is a percival instead of a king arthur for once...

"Just look,' said Scharley, stopping. A church, an inn and a brothel, and right in the middle of them a pile of shit. Here you have the parabola of human existence."

"[I do have] a truly important mission, a truly sacred duty. What I'm doing, I'm doing for you. For us. My mission will change the nature of the world, improve the world, make it better and more beautiful. When it dawns, we will live, you and I, live and love to the end of our days in such a world, a truly Divine Kingdom. That is what I desire, Jutta. I dream of it."

A. Sapkowski, Warriors of God (Chapter Fifteen)

one of the most touching romantic scenes, but rereading this in context with the rest of the book and the end of the series just shows how fatal of a flaw reynevan's idealism became, manifested in these words, these unfulfilled promises to her... he wanted to have it all, and lost it all.

furthermore... stories about wrongfully-maligned characters have always provoked a strong emotional reaction within me. across the trilogy, reynevan is not only accused of so much wrongdoing, but his reputation falls very quickly from bad to worse—murderer, kidnapper, rapist, heretic, sorcerer...

and with two years separating him and jutta since the events on grochowa mountain, and with him in these two years living in prague and becoming a hussite with complete conviction, that he must have been a changed man. plus, that he brought her there with a love spell...

i can't help but think... as jutta was constantly reminded of reynevan's repuation for two years, and now compelled by magic to meet her hussite sorcerer lover amidst snowbanks... as we see their relations from reynevan's perspective, we get this line:

"His memory of her was different. (...) Her eyes had changed. Or perhaps they hadn't changed at all, perhaps what he saw in them now had always been there?"

reynevan senses that she has hidden depths that he has not yet discovered. jutta may have felt the same, looking into his eyes—but, instead of "[the] enigma waiting to be solved, [the] mystery waiting to be discovered" that reynevan sees in her, what does she see in his?

#this scene is like 'do you love the chalice or me more' and the way we find out at the end of the book was so stunning to me #i was legitimately surprised he did that. the character development. but also i don't think he made the right decision #hussite trilogy #reynevan #reinmar of bielawa #c: reynevan #s: my aucassin pursued for love #my art #analysis
