A Chapter a Day: Day 18 Take Two Edition "The Red Deaths" by Casey Eanes and Seth Ervin

                      A Chapter a Day: Day 18
Reviewing "The Red Deaths" book one in the Keys of Candor Series by Seth Ervin and Casey Eanes.


Hey guys, so obviously this is a day late. I did my best to get back before 1-2 AM but that was just impossible. I did manage to read the chapter during the car ride but I only remember a few highlights, so we are going to read it again! That's right, this book is so nice you can read it twice ;)
Lets read chapter 18!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~20-ish Minutes Later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Hmmm..... How should I say this- Oh wait!  Almost forgot the warning!                
                
**!!WARNING SPOILERS BELOW!!**



















Alright.
Nothing makes a girl happier than being assaulted -_-
That first opening scene where Willyn gets mad ands goes after Grift is a strange interaction all around. Willyn responds as expected and wants Grift dead, amazingly he doesn't really fight back. I really respect that because that level of restraint is remarkable.  

When Luken hit her I sort of laughed and glared at the book because that relationship is about to get very awkward. I mean, the entire rest of the chapter Luken is taking Grifts side and Willyn is bound to take that personally.
The way that Luken and Grift take on a an "Air of superiority" or "All-knowing Attitude" made me chuckle. The way they explain The Keepers and The Five is truly like someone trying to explain religion in real life, and Willyns "understanding" was on point with a IRL reaction!

Legends of the Guardians- Owls of Ga'Hoole. The Echidna.

That would be Willyn.
"The one who doubts!" 
Willyn instantly questions why these two grown men are going on about fairytales but when she sees the Onyx key I feel like she is slowly starting to believe it.

Speaking of Willyn, she really feels like a failure over this whole thing. I get it but I feel really bad for her, the authors wrote this touchy subject in a very convincing way and I am very impressed by how it can move people.
I love the way Grift offered emotional support to Willyn and didn't hold anything against her (on the surface).
I am about to sound really weird.His presence in the book adds a "well seasoned" feeling that makes you feel a little more confident in our rag-tag group of keepers.

Now I want to know how Kull is going to react. Is he still going to want Willyn dead or can he overcome his anger and work together with her for the greater good? I guess we will find out more about that tomorrow evening! See you then :)
