Unless someone confirms that a character is dead, they’re not going to be dead. Generally, I’m used to being able to assume that if a remotely important character dies off screen, they’re totally going to be alive through some complicated series of events. She’s resisted a lot of death tropes common to fantasy fiction. Personally, I’m hoping only a few of them die, but Chima does seem to enjoy character death, so it’s really hard to say.One thing I find really interesting about Chima is how she does the deaths. It feels like hurtling toward an ending that could be roses and could be a brick wall against which our cast will smash and die. The pace just rockets, despite the book being long. And, oh yeah, shit goes down.Perhaps because of the accelerated time frame, The Gray Wolf Throne goes really fast. Han gets to use all his fancy blueblood training.
In The Gray Wolf Throne, Raisa levels up to a new degree of bossness. It’s funny how this book covers the shortest span of time but the most stuff happens.
