Last chapter, Wren is now in the Prince of Shadow’s clutches. This is pretty awful, but it’s hard to remember that when everyone’s acting like they’re in a bad cartoon.
Now it’s back to the so interesting Holok.

Chosen of the Sun, Ch35
Last time, Wren is now in the clutches of a surprisingly squeamish deathbyssal.
…back to Holok. Luckily something will actually happen this time.
Chosen of the Sun, Ch36
Chosen of the Sun Ch37
Last time, now there’s two Solars in this book!
And now we switch back to the first one. Or more exactly, the Dragonbloods trying to kill him.
Chosen of the Sun Ch38
Last time, Yuyu slaughters Dragonblooded.
And back to Wren again. You can really feel how the author’s just recently realizing that wait, he’s got to wrap things up before he’s allowed to end the book. No more time for new characters.
Chosen of the Sun Ch39
Chosen of the Sun Ch40
Chosen of the Sun Ch41
Last time, Yuyu vs Holok! Somehow, neither dies. It’s all very sad.
Back to Wren, who’s enjoying his tea.
Chosen of the Sun Ch42-END
Last time, Wren and Ratcatcher’s plot arcs wrapped up for the book, in so much as a cliffhanger and a fakeout count as wrapping up. This time, we’ll get the same for Yuyu and Holok.
Beloved of the Dead Ch1-2
The dead man sat up from the stone slab upon which he had been laid out, and groped for something sharp, which he might then plunge into his right eye.
What a great opening! Look at all the stuff happening. Who is this dead man? Why does he want to stab out his eye?
Beloved of the Dead Ch3-4
Chapter three returns us to Yuyu. It opens with this whole long fakeout where he’s desperately running from a terrifying pursuer and it turns out to be training by Dace. (more…)
Beloved of the Dead Ch5-7
Last time, Holok made a big deal about caring for all of god’s creatures unlike those filthy anathema despite being a member of the faction defined around using anything and everyone they can to accomplish their goals while Yuyu generic newbie adventurered at us.
Today, three horsemen in a shadowland, presumably because the fourth horseman seemed redundant. (more…)
Beloved of the Dead Ch8-10
Last time, sues, sues everywhere. (more…)
Beloved of the Dead Ch11-12
“Dace, would you please tell me what’s going on before my feet fall off?”
Yuyu continues not to accept that they’re in danger because he’s such a sue he knows he’ll be fine. (more…)
Beloved of the Dead Ch13-14
Last time, sues and people making the world’s suffering all about them.
Today, it’s back to Sijan and Ratcatcher, where he observes the docks are surprisingly poorly defended given this is the obvious direction for someone who doesn’t breathe. There are some guards with halberds and hand-axes so already they seem unwilling to properly commit to the idea that you should keep them at range. (more…)
