And Fizel and a bunch of others were speared like kebabs.
But Fizel totally deserved it because he was meaaaan to Kiragon.
Didn't Chris say that he drew inspiration from real-life sources somewhere? I sometimes feel like I'm looking into the mind of a psychopath.
It really is disturbing stuff, and I think half the problem is that he's using the sort of gruesome, nasty character deaths you'd normally get in a horror story, except that this book is not horror. It mostly seems to be yet another fluffy adventure story with some random graphic violence and body horror haphazardly thrown in but never really justified or followed up on.
It's when Kira is angry that she can't get drunk.
Yup, that's the brief bit of token whining I was referring to. Oh boohoo, you can't get drunk any more? How terrible, and never mind the part where this thing is INSIDE YOUR BRAIN SCREWING AROUND WITH IT. Or that it basically took your genitals away. Or that it could be mind controlling you for all you know. Arrrrgh.
