Reviewing "The Red Deaths" book one in the Keys of Candor Series by Seth Ervin and Casey Eanes.
Before we get started with the reading I had a strange thought whilst typing up the title. "The Red Deaths"... Does that mean that all the current keepers will die?! Wael! Someone need to go get Wael and take care of him because that is bad news.
Anyways, lets find out what actually happens!
Lets read Chapter 20!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~20-ish Minutes Later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
!!**WARNING! SPOILERS BELOW**!!
I don't know why but this thought was inspired during the reading of this chapter.
What if the entire book was a plot twist and the bad guys are good guys?
I don't think this is the case, or rather I am certain that it isn't. It is a nice conspiracy theory though, fun to think about....
Seam is being very capable today.
For him to have been so passive the entire book he really exerted himself today.
First he goes and beats Kull up and steals his key, which was really exciting because Kull inspired doubt in the soldiers but we will talk about that next. Then he goes to capture Willyn and Grift. Maybe I am wrong but I was certain that they noted Lukens presence on the ship so it wouldn't make sense for them to kill him and not the others.
Seam, did you get caught up in the moment? I think you did........
Kull... buddy... Im so sorry...
He was dealt a bad hand in todays chapter. He was caught and delivered to Seam sometime between chap. 19 and chap. 20. However being chained up and battered hasn't dampened Kull's spirit. I love how he gives Seam attitude and how he rats him out. Go and tell everyone all his secrets! Good boy Kull!
I love the description "With the look of a beaten dog ready to retaliate." that really says a lot about the situation and the atmosphere. I used to walk rescue dogs and help with their care and if you have ever seen a beaten dog then you know just how powerful this description is. I don't think any humans hate is equivalent to a dog retaliating.
No! They were just starting to get along! Why did they have to do that?! Luken better not be dead! I wont give up hope of him showing up in the final chapter and saving Willyn and Grift. That is my top friendship and I refuse to acknowledge the bad position that they are in.
I love the fighting spirit that they all had. If they were going to be captured they were going to make a show out of it. Their strategy was good but I am surprised they didn't see the flash grenades coming. Grift is a military expert after all and I am certain that Luken has had some form of training, then we have our goddess of war Willyn.
My overall impression of this chapter is that horrid feeling that someone is going to die. With only one day left I can only imagine the terrifying things that the next chapter holds, though I am sort of glad that we are just about done with this book because I feel a sickness coming on and my energy is just zapped.
Join me tomorrow for the final chapter of "The Red Deaths"! It is going to be a big celebration and I might even have something to drink to celebrate!
