Just finished Red Seas Under Red Skies.
AUGH. what! what!!! clever of Locke to sneak the antidote into Jean's wine that way. The opening scene KILLED ME. I spent so much willpower not to skip forward and find out what the bloody fuck Jean was doing holding a crossbow on Locke. and!! and!! EZRI. Why? Whyyyy :(
The only explanation I can come up with is that Maxilan Stragos told them he poisoned them, to keep them loyal until nothing further could be had of them, and that the antidote was nothing; a bit of water and herbs. I mean, there are seven books planned. And it looks like the next one is going to involve Sabetha, if I don't miss my guess; which is awesome, because I want to meet the woman who's got Locke Lamora tied up in gorgeous tangled messy knots.
EZRI. Oh, baby, why are you dead?
mope mope mope.
WANT THIRD BOOK. WANT IT NOW.
