If Alucard Emery has 1,000 haters, Kell Maresh is one.

If Alucard Emery has 10 haters, Kell Maresh is one.

If Alucard Emery has one hater, it's Kell Maresh.

If Alucard Emery has no haters, Kell Maresh is dead.

Finally got back into reading again and trying to finish Fragile Threads of Power before Christmas

*spoilers ahead*

Got to the point where Tes meets Ned and I AUDIBLY gasped, I seriously did not expect that man to possess any sort of magic but I’m really excited to see where that goes. Hoping we see more of Ned in the future even if he is a little weird.

When Tes properly meets Lila and Kell I felt so sorry for Tes with the way Lila treated her like a tool to fix Kell, like I totally understand why Lila acted that way but it was really harsh and Kell very clearly was uncomfortable in the whole situation.

And when Tes met the queen, I can’t lie I did get very giddy… until the queen also treated her like an object, another tool for her workshop, rather than an actual person - I was really hoping those two would get along become some sort of dream.

I think this is something new I’m gonna do everyday… read a few more pages and come on here to waffle and share my thoughts into the void to be lost forever!

this scene always get me

because firstly, every interaction between kell and alucard is fucking gold, and the concept of them tolerating each other to find lila is perfect. (i could write essays about alucard and kell’s relationship in tftop because it is so fucking entertaining).

but also alucard trying to look after kell for lila’s sake and lila’s sake alone (because this isn’t a pain that could hurt rhy) is so funny to me.

because the implication that at some point lila sat alucard down and explicitly told him there would be hell to pay if he ever let kell hurt himself is gold.

the image of lila bard threatening her best friend over the idiot she loves (who he hates) is just so fucking funny. and i can see alucard thinking it’s hilarious how soft bard actually is, but also being mildly irritated because he knows she’s actually deadly serious and he now has to look out for kell.

and then there’s literally just the fact of how much lila worries in this book. she’s literally never not thinking about kell. i could talk for days about this. they’re so in love it hurts.

this scene is just such a perfect mix of tension and humour, which V always does perfectly.
