A Chapter a Day: Day 13 "The Red Deaths" by Seth Ervin and Casey Eanes

                                      A Chapter a Day: Day 13

Reviewing "The Red Deaths" book one in the Keys of Candor Series by Casey Eanes and Seth Ervin.


Hello and happy Sunday! I have great news!
Senpai(s) noticed us again and it is apparently ok to call them Seth and Casey! That makes me very happy because the formal "Mr." thing isn't really fitting for my conversation style writing.
So they answered my questions again and I was quite pleased with the answer.
This book took 3 years to finish and somewhere around 7 drafts.
That is a lot of work. Now whenever I pick up the book to read it I am even more careful than I was before because for someone to devote that much time, energy and emotion to something makes it really special and important to me.

Alright, enough rambling! Grab your books and lets read Chap. 13!

I can't even. Not before the warning.                                

                                      **!!Spoilers below!!**

Uh oh. This doesn't look good.

Alright, Kull good job. Since I do these reviews in the order of my reaction (so from the first paragraph to the last) for the moment I am going to praise you. Good job on persevering even though your foot was killing you and sacrificing your hair for the greater good.
I am proud of you.
I really liked the description of "The Pass" and "Kings Canyon". They really helped me to picture the story in my mind and follow
them along, I am sure it also helps that I love WoW and usually

Main Orgrimmar Gate "We will slaughter anyone who stand in our way"

play a Tauren or Troll so I have practically grown up in Orgrimmar and The Southern Barrens. Not to mention the dreaded Hellfire Peninsula. If you look at any of the reference pictures to the



Hellfire Peninsula, I always die here.

 left then you will note how there are similarities between the landscape in the book and the landscape in the game. I actually have a ton of visual aids for todays post so be



Southern Barrens, the happiest place on earth.

prepared for pictures!

Okay, I like Arik. I am glad he finally got a name even if he is just a side character. I like his sense of humor and easy to pronounce name :D
He better take good care of Rot! Don't let anything bad happen to the fluffy puppy. 

Moving on, I absolutely love the exchange between Wael/Kull and "The Reds". Not only do we learn how the Grogans have reacted to the accusations of Willyns murderous ways but I feel like we also get a clue about the book. "The Red Deaths" might imply the death of the sanguinary Grogans? I don't feel like Seth and Casey would
make it that easy to spot though. My second favorite part about "The Reds" Is their "Red Leader". I have a very childish reason for this.

Does anyone remember this movie?
Do you remember how he gives them all code names?
Red 1.
Red 2.
Red 3.
Red Baby.
Red Leader.
Red Leader.

This means that I will hold "The Reds" in the same regard as Vin Diesel. That is a very good place to be in my books.
This places "The Red Deaths" up there with Vin, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jason Stratham. Good job! ^_^

Ok, I promise from here on out I will reign in my goofy tendencies.
Mostly.

The entire process of Wael healing Kull's foot was very suspicious but proves that our Mastermonk definitely has something special about him. I also think that he chose Kull's words back when they were talking to "Red Leader" because I don't think Kull is capable of such diplomacy.  He actually proves that he isn't when they

speak to Hosp later. This is where I just had to do a face palm on behalf of Wael. He asked you to do one thing Kull, one thing! Not talk. Even you admitted that it shouldn't be too hard.
Speaking of Hosp, I finally found a picture for him. I have been looking for almost two weeks now and I have been able to fin a picture that was flattering (Because all evil guys have to steal girls hearts. That's an unwritten rule.) and creepy enough to properly represent our evil weasel.

Everything with Hosp and Wael seemed off. I think the moment Wael saw Hosp he knew that something was up and that he had something to do with the tragedies happening in Candor. However, I do know that something exciting is about to happen because Wael and Kull ran. When a characters run you know something good is on its way! Get it? When someone runs then something evil is sure to follow...

One last thing and then I am going to wrap this up. When they first walked into the city and they made reference to the "Pillboxes" it sort of confused me.  I thought "Certainly they don't mean the ones like in Call of Duty: Worlds at War right?" because that would be really interesting for this entire chapter to remind me of my favorite games. Anyways, this is a Pillbox!


Now if you are anything like me than you recognize this as "Those things you charge when you have the flame thrower but NOT when you only have the revolver."

With that I will say my goodbyes. Thank you for enjoying Chapter 13 with me! Tomorrow we celebrate Chapter and day 14 which will put us 2/3's of the way through this awesome experience! I can't decide if I am happy or sad about this. I am heavily leaning towards sad. Be sure to join us tomorrow and thank you for reading along!
