"Hello, old destroyer. Hello, Father."

I woke up and chose chaos. I have read three Cosemere stories and none of them were in order. It's like my reckless side (let's call it spontaneous) activated the randomizer .

But here's the thing, it's been epic.

Plot/Storyline/Themes:
Patji is an island hellbent on killing it's inhabitants. It's also an island that runs lines of communication through a form of telepathy. It's not sapient as in talk in human-shapes words; but definitely feels like a spiritually sentient and omnipotent within it's borders entity. In short, a a Godlike island.

Two Sentences, A Scene or less - Characters:
✔️Who are all these people? I have no cooking clue!
✔️Are they intruiging? Hell Yeah.
✔️Should I probably start at the beginning of the series? Absolutely.

Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Scene:
Awww! Dusk feeding and communicating with the Meekers. They sound so stinking cute I had to read it again.

Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Quotes:
🖤 “Creatures like the shadow did not hunt by smell or sight, but by sensing the minds of prey.” (formiddable sea monster)
🖤 “Running through the jungle was a good way to get dead” (True in any world)

Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Concepts:
■ Aviar birds: Kokerlii’s protective aura, Sak's visions
■Eelakin Race/Ethnicity
■ Pantheon islands
■Shadow and other Beasts from The Deep
■Meekers sound insanely cute
