So, we've had our Akasha's debut and I'm floored. From her first whisper to that incredible monologue in the end (which I've replayed hundred times by now) she is incredible. One scene but what fucking scene. By god I hope Rolin gives her more depth than Anne ever did, because Sheila would devour it.

Would love to hear your thoughts and impressions on her too.

She was iiiiiincredible, anon!! I've actually been pretty nervous about how they were going to adapt Akasha, not because of Sheila or even Aaliyah (who's iconic in the film), but because (and I don't know how controversial this is - maybe not at all, based on your ask, haha) I've lowkey always found Akasha a little boring as a character in the book? She's also tonally so different to so many of the characters across the first two books, and that shift in gears works for me in some ways, but less so in others.

Sheila completely ate though! What an astonishing performance, and wildly great character introduction! The otherworldliness and that transition from stone to life, and that monologue just being a barrage of questions that so incredibly encapsulated someone - something - ancient waking up! So, so, so good, and it's making me genuinely excited for that particular arc!
