Please mention where you are in the book, ideally by chapter so people reading different versions have a clear point of reference.
Feel free to read ahead if itβs exciting, but please refrain from spoiling ahead of the appropriate week.
If you have a question about grammar, vocab, cultural things, etc - ask! Thatβs a welcome part of the discussion, and other readers will be happy to help.
Even if you donβt read the chapter(s) in time, you are still encouraged to post your thoughts.
If I remember correctly what happened when, this is the second time the previous ιηβs soul comes out to save the day, right? Again using just water. I wonder if itβs a coincidence, or if he has a specific affinity?
Yeah, I believe thatβs right. Iirc in the book, there was speculation that γ¦γΌγͺβs old pact with a/the water elemental coming back was due to him taking that drink of water from that weirdly suspicious girl way back when he first arrives at the capital, but they didnβt follow up on that at all, so I donβt know if itβs anything more than βwhy is this happeningβ on the other charactersβ parts.
Speaking of the village burning, I spent this entire section wondering how slowly it was all burning, given how long it took for the fire to be put out. I think they mentioned that the fire was some kind of special magical fire, where it became much harder to put out, but in return burned much slower, or something of the sort? Anyway, I was relieved when it finally got put out.
