Freedom's Slave

Hey what's up you guys?

Yes. So, I finished the book yesterday, but I was very tired, so ya girl just went to bed. In other news, I finished the awful piece of writing I was doing for the magazine I'm working on. It's a fairy tale and it didn't work out how I thought it would. But it's fiiiiiine. Dion's gonna be like, OMG it's so good. And I'm going to be like, thanks, but like the kid who got an avocado for Christmas did. But it's fine.

Freedom's Slave is the final book in the trilogy. So, Nalia and Zarani are helping a whole entire army get through the Eye, a dead space that connects the human world and Arjinna. No one has passed through this way since a long distant ancestor or Nalia's. This one is like, the war is coming to a head. Raif has to try and lead the tavrai while his world is falling apart. There's a resistance of Ifrits that are also working to usurp Calar, and then there's Nalia who's just traipsing around the Eye because the gods are both rude and ungrateful.

This was a good book, but I have a lot of beef with Heather. Starting with Kesmir and Tazlim. Why did she feel the need to create the whole lovely ship, a beautiful ship, made me fall in love with them, and then smash it against a cliff face? Like, what the hell, Heather. And what game is she playing with Raif, the loml? Like, why did she feel the need to almost kill Nalia like seven times so he can break more and more? That's cruel. And. . . I had another grievance. . . OH! Shirin? No. She was literally there just to be a pain in the ass. Raif was never yours, he was never going to be with you, it was never meant to be. Let it go, sis. And she had this
Shirin with Yurik or whatever
wonderful heterochromia-ed male that just wanted to love her forever and she was like, you know, I kind of feel things for him, but I'm going to suppress that. Then with Raif she was like, please destroy my entire self-esteem, thanks. Like, sis. No. ALSO. Why did she get a happy ship when she tried to kill him, but KES AND TAZ DIDN'T?? What world do you live in? God. Get with the program. And the whole "slave to the land" crap? Do not vibe. I understand what you were trying to do, with the whole servant leader thing, but no. Nobody should be a slave to anyone or anything. I call bs.

This is all I can remember from my rant last night. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk,

Ship: Kesmir and Tazlim, Nalia and Raif, Zanari and Phara
Snake: Shirin, Calar, jinn gods
Like: Aisha, Yurik, Touman
