Six of Crows- Chapter 24 (Leigh Bardugo)
Poor prisoners in high-security cells of Ice Court's prison- even at night, there's light going through a small window in their door.
How could their captors be so cruel and deny them the basic need of sleep?
*cough* Rule of Wolves- Chapter 9 *cough*
The "Heroes" have no qualms imprisoning powerless Darkling in a glass terrarium with permanent daylight.
The irony of Zoya praising Nikolai's humanitarian tendencies right before she introduces WHAT he built... yeah, such a nice guy...
I'd also like to point out one my total top "favourite" phrases- Sun Soldiers, heirs to Alina Starkov's power. That's what helps you sleep at night, Zoya?! Make it a matter of inheritance?! Something to be passed down on other people?! Not the worst kind of tragedy- the butchery of Alina's very being?! Disgusting, how she treats Alina as some sort of benevolent icon living her secret dream. Zoya doesn't even have the excuse of not knowing her personally, of not being present when were Alina's powers ripped out of her.
(If there's something unnatural in all of these books, it's those so called Sun Soldiers.)
And back to the Darkling- I'm sure those nice, obedient Soldiers hold no grudge and don't abuse the power they have over him now.
Which gets us back to Darkles' living conditions- apparently, he's a disgusting whore for making himself at least a little bit comfortable.
I'm sure he suffers no migraines or other light-related pains or issues. He's just a bit warm. :)
And the lack of even the most basic camp bed is completely normal. Fjerdans don't give their high-sec prisoners furniture either!
