A Chapter a Day: Day 10 "The Red Deaths" By Casey Eanes and Seth Ervin

                               A Chapter a Day: Day 10
Reviewing "The Red Deaths" book one in the Keys of Candor Series by Seth Ervin and Casey Eanes.


Hello and happy day before Friday! So yesterday I got rained out of my scheduled review so that got pushed to later in the month but that's fine. Instead of wasting the day yesterday I binge watched Black Butler with a few admin friends until the unholy hours of the morning and well... One thing led to another and now I am obligated to being a butler for a friend through my Fall semester in college. Kids, never party with admins. There are so many ulterior motives it isn't even funny. Anyways grab your books and lets read Chapter 10!

~~~~~~~30-ish Minutes Later~~~~~~

We are half way through the book.
Let's take a moment to mourn/celebrate that.

Wael my man! This Monk is just as beastly as Rot! I was very impressed with their knowledge, patience and performance. 

Direct quote from the book:this picture is huge so Blogger doesn't do it justice

First Wael schooled our dear Kull on their lands history. That was very interesting because it also gave all of the readers a deeper understanding of what all happened and just how awful the Grogans are. They enlighten us as to who/what "The Five" are/were and how they effected the story.   This development sort of helps us piece together the story and helps things fall into place.
Now my main Monk Wael and his companion Rot are simply amazing. In this chapter the Morels attacked the transport truck that our beloved runaways are hiding on.
Well, the first thing anyone should do when their transport gets attacked is lighten the load. That is just common sense and much to my delight Wael and Kull do exactly that. They ditch the lumber but at a price.
Kull... Come on! Stop getting yourself hurt! Be more conscious of your surroundings and possible dangers! It is a good thing you didn't go to the academy because, dang, that would have been bad. I am very pleased to see that Kull got over his moral dilemma when it comes to killing. It was kill or be killed and I am happy to report that we all survived another chapter! That is mostly thanks to Wael though. The Monk has impressive battle skills for something that is supposed to be a peaceful and religious creature.
I did catch a little secret tidbit when Wael somehow managed to loosen the second load of lumber on his own. Something isn't right but for now I am going to let it slide.
This chapter was mostly history and battle sequences so I don't have that much to report however I did find a few new words that I am delighted to share! Yes, I am weird and I do have a rare word obsession.

Cusp: Noun: A pointed curve where two ends meet, in particular

Now this word doesn't hold any special meaning for me but I love that it is used because it's something that I hear/read often when I am working on props and it isn't used very often in pleasure reading.

Next word!

Annexed:
Verb: append or add as an extra or subordinate part, especially to a document:
This word is entirely new to me so I get to take it away from this book and I will surely remember this wonderful experience every time I get some use out of it!

That is that I have for today. I hope you join me tomorrow for chapter 11 and I hope you have your own copy of this fantastic book!
