I enjoyed the entire book in general, but my favourite scene was the introduction of the Riva Rohavi and the way their leader incites them to dance. Very powerful and mysterious. I could just hear the drums whilst I was reading.

My favorite scene was actually when the Riva Rohavi attacked the town of Hillport. It was kind of disturbing but it reminded me of the Dothraki in Game of Thrones.

My favourite scene was when the mages tries to fight Meldorath but ultimately fails. It just showed that Meldorath is nearly unstoppable.

I loved the scene where Gallen looks upon the face of God on the ceiling of the chantry. From Gallen's reaction, I could almost feel those piercing green eyes staring at me from above.

My favorite scene would be Lord Eldus' visit to a child of whom he taught was a victim of Lord Orlin. It shows that he really cared for the welfare of the children on the town of Hillport.

I love the voyage from the land of the kings to Magnum. The man in the ship entertaining others created a lot of humor. But at the same time, when Galen meets Demetrius who was his uncles' executor creates alt of beautiful emotions in the whole book.

My most favorite scenes were anywhere with Rowan and Galen. Rowan is funny and Galen's reactions to his frend's antiques was hilarious.

I loved so much the mystery about Meldorath's death. I couldn't stop laughing how many people wanted to believe Meldorath is dead even when their conscience stated otherwise. Those who believed he is dead were still afraid he might resurfaced again and course more harm.

Larkspur wrote: 03 Oct 2020, 10:16 I also loved every scene that Galen was in. In addition to that, I loved the scenes where Galen, Rowan and Demetrius appeared together. These scenes seemed to have so much tension and sarcasm.
Me too!
I loved all the scenes where Rowan, Galen and Demi appeared together.
The interaction, the dynamics of their relationship is interesting.

It's almost like there's a tug of war with the three that has Demetrius and Rowan on opposite ends and Galen in the middle. I like that they formed a kind of unwilling group and that there isn't perfect harmony in it. It invites room for future discourse and opportunities for the characters themselves to learn about each other.

My favorite scene from the book was the beginning of the story that describes the protagonist Galen's voyage for his new arrival at the unique land of Voulhire! I liked the milieu of the sailing ship and the character of the old man sailing on the ship along with the passengers!

The spearman looked up at Eldus. He smiled with white teeth clashing against a black-painted face. He shimmied his head from side to side, and started dancing after him.
I consider it memorable instead of a favorite moment. It has an unsettling effect on it. It is a short scene, and yet it made a mark. It will be interesting to see it in the movies.

I’m interested in any scenes where bio magic happened. The descriptions are terrifying made me wonder if it existed in this world.

I liked the easy go between Rowan, Rita and Galen at the Inn in Magnum Caelum. Uh, I laughed at how Rowan teased Rita to get the meal ready for Galen, and the lady was ready with an absurd response but finally the meal was delivered hot and sweet 🤗

My favourite scene from the book is when Riva people attack, they were continuously dancing on some particular tune. Even though fighting their dance didn't stop.
That is a superb imagination.
