A Chapter A Day: Day 22 "Sea of Souls" By Casey Eanes and Seth Ervin

                        A Chapter A Day: Day 22
Reviewing book two in the Keys of Candor series, Sea of Souls, by Seth Ervin and Casey Eanes.


Greetings bookworms, We are moving ever closer to the end.. I know it isn't healthy to focus on the end but I can't help feel all nostalgic about this experience.
Lets make some more memories by reading chapter 22.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A Few Memories Later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ma'et? I wondered what it meant so I did a quick Bing search and got, "(Maat, Ma’at, Maât; note that there are two vowel sounds in the name) The personification of the multivalent Egyptian concept of ma’et, that is, justice, truth and order, Ma’et is depicted as as a woman wearing a tall ostrich feather (or sometimes two) on her head, frequently with wings extending along her arms and usually carrying the ankh, sign of life.
" and I think that is just beautiful. I wonder if this has anything to do with the reasons they named the Unmighty, Ma'et and I wonder what the real reasons are?
(It spells team backwards.. I don't know what we are supposed to do with that information though.)

Ma'et's actions were kind of flashy in comparison to Stranger.
I mean, lets look at the events.

Stranger:
"You want to chop wood and fetch some water with me? I have honey!"
VS Ma'et:
"ROW YOU WORTHLESS SCUM! ROW UNTIL I DEVOUR YOU!"

Which one stands out more to you? Yeah.

Okay, moving on! This next part is my personal favorite of this chapter.
I was right.. Aleph. Kull has been doing divine chores with ALEPH! He is actually a lot cooler than I was expecting him to be and I really like the fact that he wanted Kull to figure it out. Most the time in situations like this it is glaringly obvious who the person is but no, this time it was very smooth and mysterious and that added such a personal touch to these past few Kull chapters.
Wonderfully done.

Our sweet baby doesn't feel good enough! I mean, um... Lets try that again but more professional this time.

The impression I got from this chapter was that Kull doesn't feel like he deserves to be in Alephs presence and he doesn't understand why Aleph would choose to spare him from an eternity at the hands of Ma'et.
Kull was a non-believer in The Red Deaths and now he is with Aleph so I can only imagine the confusion that is tormenting his incomplete mind.
The real question now is, What will Aleph do with Kull?

With only 6 chapters left I honestly have no idea where they are going with this but I get the sneaking suspicion that someone else will die before this book is over. Lets see how that turns out tomorrow!
See ya!
