The Motherfucking Consequence aka Dark Age thoughts
holy SHIT
holy FUCK
I was just up until 4AM finishing this book
It was so...........GOOD
Nearly flawless!
The CAST!
The PLOT!
THE STAKES!
DARRRRROOOWWWWW
ok spoilers under the cut bitches
I have been left in the crumpled ruins of this book
where do I begin, like where do I even START
Ok ok ok holy fuck I'm already cackling
The first part was PERFECTION. Back and forth with Darrow and Lysander.
HERE I AM YOU DEVIANT BITCH. THE MOTHERFUCKING CONSEQUENCE
DARROW YES THIS IS WHAT I LOVE TO SEE
The Storm Gods and Orion (r.i.p baby girl) and Lysander describing Darrow as he comes to battle
GOOSIES BITCH
"If you hear wolves, find me. Only a legion accompanying the Slave King is permitted the howl. If you hear it, he is coming."
How the howls announce Darrow and Lysander describing how Darrow fights is CRAZZZYYYY Like he knows where a strike is coming without having to see it
Lysander watching Darrow carve his way through the troops like a DARK SOULS BOSS
Then Darrow is gone as quick as he came after destroying everything in his path
Lysander being Mr. "The Genius of His Violence" talking about Darrow XD
*Beginning of next chapter*
D A R R O W
"We brush away light resistance."
LMMMFFAAAOOOOO ok go off king
Seeing Darrow at the peak of his fighting is SO COOL to see.
I made an audiobook bookmark cackling at someone calling Apple a muscled walking penis LMAO
Ephraim was SO enjoyable. His chapters were so much more lighthearted and funny even though the content of his chapters was not (VOLSUNG FAAAA holy fuck).
"Someone starts to say Freihild is deft in all things. Yeah yeah shutup." lmmaaooooo
R.I.P Eph
Especially right after he was able to reunite with Volga....
And PAX PILOTING THAT AIRSHIP and the people of Mars being ride or dies for Reaper is so so fucking good
SO GOOD
I had goosies
Lyria's story was much better this time around (lmfao when she was playing stupid to get close to Duncan by grinding on his dick LMAO and then she literally dunked him in acid) as she was one of my complaints from Iron Gold. But she, Victra and Volga were great. And that...parasite? In her brain wtf it can detects like heat signatures but I have no clue it's purpose.
Victra is such an interesting character because I go back and forth on her a lot. I still don't understand how she and Sevro work. Sometimes I'm like FUCK YES GO VICTRA
Like when she was unleashed after her baby was killed (omfg) and she was just POUNCING on people and killing and tearing and I was like YEEEEESS VICTRA BITCH GO GO GO GOGOG OGG OGOG O!!!!!
But then when she was acting nuts after Electra and Pax were first taken I was like
Harmony finally dying A+
I can't believe how far gone and radical she was (the child wives WTFFFF)
Volsung Fa being Ragnar's father I did not see coming. I want him vs Darrow so bad
I want Darrow vs anybody so bad tbh
I love when Darrow wins *cries in Dark Age*
r.i.p Sefi she got fucked up bad and it's nuts that all it took was someone like Volsung Fa to completely take over the Obsidians and make them hungry for war again. I'm very curious his part in the story and what his plans are. He wants war on everyone so....what? So Obsidian can rule? I think they will be a huge factor turning the tides of the war.
LYSANDER. He's a great character but I hate him. I understand what he's trying to say the Pierce Brown has done a very good job with finding nuance in the ways that others look at Darrow and how he can be perceived as a villain.
BUT IM STILL TEAM REAPER BEETCHES IF YOU'RE ON ANY OTHER TEAM BLOCK ME
TEAM REAP 5EVA
He wants Gold to rule again, to "sheppard" the other colors because they're incapable of being on their own in his view. He wants the society back but with more checks on power but as we've seen, most Golds are not capable of that.
So like...what do we do? We either have them in power or kill all of them? What's the medium? Where does this war END? HOW? Then at the end when all hope is lost, when he MORTALLY WOUNDS Darrow (I was SCREAMINGgGGGGG) and CASSIUS?
CASSIUS?
BRO where WERE you
wtf!!! he's pops up like "lol brooding again huh" while Darrow has a slingblade sticking out of his body with no hope left
The legend of Darrow grows, the weight of his name as Reaper and the gravity of battles when he's on the field is AMAZING. I love it i love him so much please let him survive through this series he deserves HAPPINESS
"I would die for the truth that all men are created equal."
my king
Pax slowly understanding the burden on his father is a nice touch and Electra is just like her parents lmao a little helion
YO THE COUP
When Virginia was like *squints around* something is wrong
and whenever Pierce Brown has one of his characters say something is wrong then something is REALLY FUCKING WRONG
They killed DAXXOOOOO nooooooooo and Dancer too *sits silently*
Here's the thing, Dancer wasn't on Virginia's side until he had to be and I don't like that. I feel like...he wasn't meant to be written to be unlikeable but I haven't liked him in Iron Gold or here in Dark Age
Good riddance Red Hand
I have no idea what's going to happen in Light bringer but I'm going to start it tonight, godspeed my goodman
ps GOOSIES when Mars formed that slingblade and Virginia was like "Mars endures." yo Mars is the GOAT
pss Diomedes im super interested in, he seems honorable and Cassius is alive so...ALLLLYYY??????? pls pls pls pls pls
YO ATLANTIA IS FUCKING NUTS
so is Lysander
so is Apple
so is Ajax
r these people ok
because they're all barely held together by a single string
not sure how I feel about the Jackal clone tbh but Lilath is also nuts
*sits up suddenly*
WAIT WHERE IS SEVRO
I wish we had more of Ephraim in the future tbh...
