How It All Goes Down
Evanescence
- The next thirteen chapters are all flashbacks, y'all.
- If you're just joining us, these chapters are basically like listening to Evanescence.
- Seriously. Karou and Akiva broke the wishbone, and Karou woke up inside. Yada yada yada.
- Flashbacks.
- We begin at the end, with Madrigal's execution.
- At Thiago the Wolfman's insistence, Madrigal is to be beheaded while Akiva watches.
- She handles her execution about as calmly as someone who is about to be executed can handle such things.
- But maybe it's because she has a plan: "After she died, she was going to save Akiva's life" (47.12).
- Wow, this book really isn't getting any less confusing, is it?
