**SPOILERS FOR ROTR***
HOLY COW!! I got and finished Across the Dark Water today and I will just say that who thought Jennifer Lynn Alvarez's writing couldn't get better? And how many of those people were proven TOTALLY wrong when you read this book? You can say yes/me or no/not me in the comments. Anyway, here is a post to discuss it! Tell me your favorite part, least favorite, etc. And also, I plan to make a drawing of fan art for Across the Dark Water, so stay tuned!
And by the way, the title makes sense if you've read Across the Dark Water
Which part was the title referring to?
But believe me, I believed her writing could get better. My favorite part was when Echofrost realized that SHE IS GONNA BE AN AUNT!!!!!!!! Second favorite would be when Echofrost and Shysong left Rahkki and I’Lenna in the nest. That was hilarious, awesome, and helpful for their relationship (for the pegasus human and the other obvious one.)
Remember the Riders when they were battling the giants? When Brauk (I think) found that there were giants attacking, he said "Bloody rain" and spat on the ground. I think Bloody Rain is a curse of some sort for the Sandwens, and spitting on the ground is another superstition.
And I loved the aunt realization too, even though I could tell Dewberry was pregnant from the beginning. The nest part to me was good but kind of sad, and I laughed when Rahkki said "Princesses go first."
Rahkki has better manners then you do lol
I could tell from the beginning too. She kept going “foal” this, and “foal” that.
I don't live in a monarchy society. I'm allowed to have bad manners. But anyway, I liked the contest after the auction when Echofrost did the spiraling plummet to make one of her riders fall off and then she landed with out thinking she'd done anything special. I laughed at that because I remembered the part where Echofrost thought Kol was vain and this pointed out the the Kihlari weren't the fantastic fliers they thought they were.
Yeah, that part was definitely awesome lol.
(Also, no matter what kind of society, people should always try to have good manners. But (as I’m positive you were planning to do anyway) you can do what you like.)
I did say I'm allowed to have bad manners. I didn't say I do have bad manners.
I think half of MB loved the part when everyone found out Dewberry was preg XD Anyway that was mah favorite part :D And do you notice whenever they spit its about the Gorlanders? Maybe that's some sort of symbol thing.
AND YAS MORE PPL FOR RAINFLIGHT'S AWESOME RPPP :D
And.. anyone else ship Tuni x Brauk & Rahkii x Princess I'Lenna?
I ship Rahkki and I'Lenna but not Brauk and Tuni.
tuni always cares for Brauk's bro and they Brauk and Tuni always seems to "see" eachother at places like almost everytime Tuni leaves she's like, "See ya at [anything here]" I usually like shipping the side characters but that's just me :P
I guess that's true, but I think they are just good friends.
Boys can be so blind. -face palm- I agree Rain. I definitely ship Tuni and Brauk!
So can girls, but let's not get into that.
.o.
-_- How. Dare. You!
I said let's not get into that.
You already did that by bringing it up.
