  • Finished up Morningstar, so now I’m on to Iron Gold

    Morningstar Spoiler

    Man, kind of glad Roke (sp? I was listening to the audiobook) died. He was so insufferable at the end. I guess he was set up as a foil to Cassius, who suffered similarly (I would say worse, his family was wiped out whereas Roke lost two lovers), though Cassius came to a different conclusion in the end. I was frustrated that he blamed Darrow instead of either his lovers’ direct killers (Aja, Antonia) who he worked with somehow, or the society at large that created this cruel environment. Cassius on the other hand certainly had reason to hate Darrow, as he killed Julian, but it seems as he aged that he came to blame the society itself for it, combined with the evidence that his family was wiped out by the Jackal with the sovereign’s consent. In addition, Julian’s death was one of necessity for Darrow, where it was killed or be killed. The deaths of Quinn and Leah were not necessary and were just cruel

    I was taken aback by Cassius’ ‘betrayal’ at first, but I pretty quickly suspected it was a ruse

    Edit: I’m now about a third of the way through iron gold. God damnit it Darrow what are you doing? I’ve been disappointed before, but now I’m mad at him
