    WIP A Practical Guide to Evil by Erraticerrata - T - Original Fantasy

    The Power of Three. And thievery. Well done, Cat.

    It seems like a fairly easy extrapolation from a power that lets you steal away things or people. We knew she picked up a thief power from the Thief of Stars' corpse. Cats already seen how much the thief power runs to, including stealing a sun and fleets, and poor Thief of Stars got stolen and stuffed into a bag before so stealing a person is completely possible. Her new night power seems basically the same as the old winter one - they're all just a variation on stealing an aspect from a...

    I quite like the part where she gleefully steals landmarks. I feel like protagonists who imitate Carmen Sandiego are doing the fun thing. Now, go steal time, Cat. Also really liking Akua interaction. Basics refers to how she needs to not get into fights in the first place and focus on planning how to avoid that, instead of depending on brute force fightings. Which... Mission success, I suppose.

    WIP A Practical Guide to Evil by Erraticerrata - T - Original Fantasy

    Sort of cold calculus, but trading Procer for the near future for the Dead King being eliminated is a trade you make all day every day. Is that villianous? If you die in the service of the Heavens while taking out a great evil, seems pretty heroic. I guess that's a little rough on the non-Named who didn't really agree to this but as we've seen, they don't matter that much on the grand chessboard... And Cordelia invited this calculation when she traded a small scale war (with her potentially...

    Hahaha. What a great chapter. I loved how rigged it was just to teach Cat a lesson - not sure she learned the lesson the Bone Daddy wanted to teach, but she definitely learned to step more into her apotheosis and what that actually means for her. She's been shying away from being a construct so much, but at least, she started to understand the mist and shapeshifting technique and pulling more Winter. All in all, a good showing all around. Malicia gained valuable intel and showed off her...

    Call isn't her power so it's not blocked by the ward. The mages setting up the ward didn't know they also had to block Akua's power. And seemed straightforward that Cat can call her Court from the inside since she acts as point of entry. After all, she can already call Winter inside Keter.

    She doesn't need to ascend to godhood though. Assuming the Dead King is correct, she's already a god. Apotheosis by accident.

    Latest plan sounds amazing. I love it when Cat is forced into bad plans because all the other options are game ends. It'll absolutely go wrong but at least they've applied the Jamelia Belltower solution of solving problems with different problems, which leads to hilarity and entertainment. I'm going to laugh if Cat pulls the redux of her run through the legion college war games with successive betrayals. Akua wise, I see she's made herself the Chancellor to Cat's Queen in the Winter Court....

    Oh we know for sure that too many heroes makes every hero weaker. Hanno comments on it. Funny enough, Saint and Grey Pilgrim on their own would probably have been stronger. Also, technically this is a different trick than Liesse. Liesse was Assassin pretending to be Black. This one was Malicias trick - puppeting a body.

    Given the quote at the beginning of the chapter, I'm pretty sure that the political struggle is going to end up in an "Uncivil War" between Heiress' faction and Squire's. For that matter, given what Black has hinted at, it might even be a Squire vs. Empress face-off wherein Squire "climbs" the tower.

    I think she used Take to take angelic power for the resurrection (from undead to living), but then she took Rise from TLS to heal (since TLS stuck a sword into her) else she'd just die again.

    Any ruling would be done in a hypothetical book 3, and we know she would in that case both because she wants to and because Black wants her there. This is the climax of book 2, to determine whether or not Catherine actually does "break the spine" of the resistance over her knee and secure Callow for the Empire. In this chapter alone, we've seen her essentially win the battle for the city and all its mundane forces, including the demons, with only mop up left to do that can be done...

    Robber getting a Name would be great... I think it'd set up an interesting goblin Name-off with Childer if she gets the Squire Name and a nice contrast between Catherine (now two races with new Names, no real leverage over them other than they like her) and Heiress (a goblin Name under her control due to the necromancy leverage).

    Book 2, Ch. 12. Things we found out recently: - Final battle is going to occur in Liesse - Strange ritual being prepared that revolves around RETRIEVE - Childer, former contender for Squire Name I think my theory is right. The Rule of 3 has to be tied to a particular iteration of a Name, not the person. Otherwise, we'd be having Rules of 3 occurring all the time between a Name and a regular person, but there is no Rule of 3 for, say, Juniper and Squire. Of course, this distinction is moot...

    Is the Rule of Three responsive to Squire or Catherine? That is, can Squire lose - but Catherine win if she gains a new Name? Squire is supposed to be the transitional Name, and she's already basically plumbed the deaths of what Squire can give her (since her 3rd Aspect was hacked off). And this is the climactic battle for Callow. She seems about due for a new Name.
