A Chapter A Day: Day 25 "Sea of Souls" By Casey Eanes and Seth Ervin

                             A Chapter A Day: Day 25

Reviewing book two in the Keys of Candor series, Sea of Souls, by Seth Ervin and Casey Eanes.

Hey guys! So the spontaneous kidnapping today got ruined by torrential rain and washed out interstates. I had a blast because long car rides in the rain are a secret love of mine but there are far more important things to talk about right now...
Like Sea of Souls and the 2016 OLYMPICS!!! Guys its back and this is the first time that I have been a blogger while they were active so expect a lot about them along with Sea of Souls. I will definitely be talking more about that later but this post is dedicated to Casey and Seth's creation so join me in reading chapter 25!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aww man.. Okay, so one of the biggest appeals in the book was the fact that they never cussed.
I consider that a cuss word. It doesn't change much about my overall opinion on this book, it just lost some brownie points was all.

So I might be reading into things again but if Isphets words are always true then that means Willyn isn't just seeing Hagan, it means he is alive. Isphet was the one who sent her all wonky about Hagan back when she was in Preost. Is this an Easter egg in the book or is it irrelevant?! I don't know what to think of this. I actually don't want to think about it at all.

So the next few paragraphs left me with a realization that hit me like a freight train.
I just remembered.. I cant believe I forgot this. In every culture when there are multiple gods none of them are good.
Who said Aleph was a good guy? Sure these people worship him but people also worship Seam, so what now?

The description of Bastion running out of the titan was ridiculously humorous to me.
"Bastion took on the form of a massive boar, running on its hind legs with little human resemblance aside from his massive arms."
Now I am sure that if I delved deep enough into the pits of the internet then I would find an accurate picture but I don't think we need me any more disturbed than I already am. 
When I read that I pictured a tiny little boar body standing upright like a human with these massive human arms and big old boar head. As threatening as it wanted to be, it was too top heavy and instead of running it ended up wobbling and tripping over it's self. I had to stop and laugh for a good 20 minutes.

Sorry about that. Moving on.


Abtren and Bastion are terrified of Aleph and his name obviously holds some power over them so there is that.
This sudden show of power has me second guessing who the good guys are.

"His invisible hand hides within his very name..." What?
Is this like the good ole "He who shall not be named"? 
Is it hand as in handle, does AlePH have something to do with the other strangely powerful god IsPHet?
Am I just full of conspiracy theories that are probably way off the mark? Well at least I have an answer for that one. Yes.

Two fun words and then my overall thoughts on this chapter.
**Note: The italicized font is mostly a result of me being tired and my sarcastic nature surfacing so it is not imperative to the read.
Dissidents: a person who opposes official policy, especially that of an authoritarian state.
Fasincating! I am a Dissident! I think I will call my fandom the Dissidentians! Yeah right, like I have fans.  

Clandestine: kept secret or done secretively, especially because illicit:
This changes everything! Karera's alternative code name (Secret Secret Hush Hush) shall now be Clandenstine clandenstine hush hush!

Lastly we have my personal thoughts! The respectful version at least.

If only they would have died. Seriously, so much could have been avoided. One more Desolate bonfire and we could be free of creepy god humanoids. At least we have Seam on edge!
Now I know I didn't acknowledge the interaction between Seam and Isphet much in this post but that is because I am still pondering how I think that will affect things.
All in all this chapter left me with far too many questions to list.

I hope you guys will join me in the insanity tomorrow!!! (Also in the Olympics!! *Minor excited screeching*)

See ya!
