Oh. Oh no.

I was not expecting that, not at all. Oh dear. Character deaths are always hard, but especially so when they're unexpected. But it works. It really, really works.

I hope the book will not end on too much of a "down" note, now.

Not yet, but by the end...

Can't say. Your unspoiled opinion will be important to whether or not it works as well as I think it will.

Yes, but this mentioning it ahead of time is torture! And totally unfair!

Duchess of evil, nay, Empress of Evil!

It caught me by surprise. I felt the need to spam my journal in the somewhat dazed moments that followed.

The torture was an unexpected bonus, really. :-)

So long as it's not Mercy or Reaper... *whimpers*

Well, Mercy is pretty safe, being the POV character. LOL. And I will offer this much reassurance - none of Mercy's present or future Consorts die in this book.

They can't die. It's a series. Thank the gods!
