I completely agree about Oree. She was a much more sound protaganist than Yeine, and someone I found more likable, on the whole. I liked her dry sense of humor and her view on the gods in general. (Definitely on the social fail aspect, lol.)
I didn't quite understand Yeine's judgement at the end. I can understand Nahadoth being pissed off, but Yeine's addition to the punishment was 'you can come back earlier when you learn to love true.'
In this book, Shiny performed an act of self-sacrifice for the woman he loved, and is starting to become a better person. Which means, of course, kill the woman he loves and sabotage his ability to love forever? (I know they didn't end up doing that, but this was the master plan and they totally would have done it, too.) Also the fact that they were planning on fridging the woman that saved some of their children and the world and possibly their asses was pissing me off.
Way to go. She does dirty work for you and you won't even let her have a nice life with the dude she loves. She's going to die young to you anyway, Itempas will get to watch his mortal lover die, and then he'll feel some yummy pain. Can't you wait a paltry fifty years?
