Nicole HollemanHOST
Okay, so I have a million questions.
Nicole HollemanHOST
First and foremost, what is this object? Where did it go? Who took it? And is it actually Koschei who is awakening it? Or we'll talk about this a lot more.
Nicole HollemanHOST
Is it the Archon sisters or someone of Maid incredible power? Well,
Lexi AyalaHOST
that was my thought too.
Lexi AyalaHOST
And while we're talking about this, we might as well just dive in.
Lexi AyalaHOST
As we consider Maid objects awakening after millennia, I don't understand how Koschei could be awakening them now.
Lexi AyalaHOST
I was specifically thinking Nesta might have awoken these made objects because I can't help but think of chapter 22 in Ackawar when the bone carver says that on the island across the sea, they shudder in fear when Nesta emerged from the cauldron.
Lexi AyalaHOST
So this island across the sea, immediately you think of the prison, even though that's where the bone carver is.
AbbyHOST
Asriel dreams of bread.
AbbyHOST
Koschei can control dreams.
AbbyHOST
Something is going on here.
AbbyHOST
Something is going on here.
RonnieHOST
Drastic steps must be taken.
RonnieHOST
What threat? Like, what are we talking about here? And this goes back to something else that just kind of confused me about this book is the inner circle's motives.
RonnieHOST
Like, we just fought Koschei.
RonnieHOST
for an entire book.
ManggHOST
They showed him to the Wanderer's Library, which he describes as holding all human knowledge.
ManggHOST
Chernoff laughs and asks if Koschei the Deathless was a librarian there, prompting Lebedev to ask why he's asking questions if he doesn't want to hear the answers.
ManggHOST
Chernoff then asks about the Hand, causing Lebedev to gasp.
ManggHOST
He asks where Chernoff heard about them, but the lieutenant slaps the table and reminds him that he doesn't get to ask questions.
MacyHOST
Olga saves her brother with the help of magical items, and the two learn a lesson to always listen to their mother.
MacyHOST
Or another popular story, known as Maria Morvina, in which a prince named Ivan attempts to rescue his wife from the clutches of the evil sorcerer Kaschei the Deathless.
MacyHOST
He is successful at getting his wife a few times, but each time he tries to run, Kashi is able to catch up with him and take Maria back to his magical, with his magical fast horse.
MacyHOST
Like he's like a super crazy, paranormal fast horse.
BlakelyHOST
They're also talking about an ancient book with etched gold and a six-sided box.
BlakelyHOST
They're there because Koschei, but they also want to control him.
BlakelyHOST
So they're seeking the Onyx box that belonged to Koschei where his life threat is bound.
BlakelyHOST
And then his poor shadow was found.
BlakelyHOST
So Az skedaddled his ass out of there back to Velaris.
BlakelyHOST
The group wouldn't sign the treaty because they didn't feel the need to answer to Perithian when they were barely affected by the last treaty.
BlakelyHOST
They would seek weapons, and they may march on the human lands, and the Autumn Corp may even help them.
BlakelyHOST
Oh, and they aren't working with Koschei.
AddisonHOST
While the shadows learned they were pursuing a made object, it was unclear on whether they had already possessed one.
AddisonHOST
They learned of an ancient book etched in gold and a hexagonal onyx box that held Koschei's sacred life thread.
AddisonHOST
Before As and his shadows could learn any more, they were discovered by the wind wolves.
AddisonHOST
Asriel knew he could not win a fight against them, and so he faded into his shadows and headed back home to Valaris.

LorraineHOST
Throughout the series thus far, there has been a strong thematic use of music and melody to describe elements of the world.
LorraineHOST
Magic often has this sound component to it, for example, like the magic is singing in a character's blood or even titles for magic like Asriel and his shadow singer magic, right? It's also associated with various magical objects like the harp or when, for example, swords like Truth Teller are activated by a user.
LorraineHOST
Overall, there is this larger positioning of magical creation being this beautiful song and melody, which is currently being disrupted by the Dark Forces, aka Koschei, and whatever else has been awakened.
LorraineHOST
Notably, I think it's interesting that two of the main characters whose POVs are featured heavily in the series and the beginning of this book have thematic connections to music, Asriel is a shadow singer, and Nesta is someone that can command made objects like the harp.
JenHOST
Representatives from Montessier, Valahan, and Rosk appear to be working together.
JenHOST
They're searching for an ancient book in a mysterious six-sided box believed to contain Koschei the Deathless's death.
JenHOST
Whoever controls that box could potentially control Koschei himself.
JenHOST
Meanwhile, Feyre, Rhys and Mor travel to store a neutral meeting place between Prithian and the continent, hoping to prevent another war.
JenHOST
Unfortunately, the negotiations go terribly.

EthanHOST
Okay.
EthanHOST
So the first one is Nesta's ability to make items and unmake items.
EthanHOST
What if the trove is not going to be enough? Because by the way things are being spoken about right now, it sounds like there are many made objects that are coming on the scene now that are awakening because of Koschei's presence.
KinseyHOST
He's a death god.
KinseyHOST
Take care of Koshchei, but let them sort out their own drama.
KinseyHOST
Like there's absolutely zero reason for them to get into conflict with them.
KinseyHOST
So yeah, that drove me nuts.
DanielleHOST
sorry.
DanielleHOST
The book ends with her finding her way to the continent where, who is? Koschei, Herbu.
DanielleHOST
He is there.
DanielleHOST
She, she made her way there.
5 MINS LATER
DanielleHOST
on?
BlakeHOST
So...
DanielleHOST
Yeah, I think my other qualm is that yes, if Koschei has been pulling the strings this entire time and that he's just now like influencing like the night court, etc.
DanielleHOST
I think after waiting so long, seeing all these heightened feelings, I was just so excited to see my character's And just seeing them at this such discourse really just hurt.
NicoleHOST
Yeah, right.
NicoleHOST
So I kind of wonder... is something in control of Elaine and I've seen all these theories now about Elaine being made and now she's going with more and the question of if she goes with more to like Koschei is she taking a made object aka herself
MeghanHOST
right
NicoleHOST
into the depths of more of Koschei and that who are trying to find a made object
MeghanHOST
yes i mean yes i mean i think so i think i think it was very specifically written where elaine said the elaine you knew died in that cauldron i think there's many layers to that what i've been curious about is let's i'm actually going to go back to kale talking about the valve you know how with in his spine it was smaller and it grew whatever happened to elaine in the cauldron was it originally minuscule and it has grown is that why she could originally wield truth teller you know when she killed hibern like something would have had to have shifted for her to now be like so like to recoil so much from the main objects that i wonder if she if something parasitic, for lack of a better term.
NicoleHOST
That's how we describe Valg.
7 MINS LATER
NicoleHOST

NicoleHOST
