holy jeez i just finished this and you've got the original series 'drop a mountain on everyone's heads' style down flat lmao--between the blood magic, need, stef taking a dive in a river, van's constant state of crisis and starwind's injury everything is nuts! and that ending, oh my gosh!!!! jeez what the heck is going to happen? where'd yfandes go? this is wild!
my favorite line in the entire thing has gotta be: "“Is it just me,” Randi said dully, “or does Van not actually listen to me anymore?”" i have no idea why it's so amusing but it kind of sums up van's entire existence lmao
stef's huge friggin crush on van (and van's parallel concern for stef) is wonderful and i loved the scenes they were together--also stef's preference for older men is very obvious and also hilarious
shavri is so badass here! between having need and her awesome healing abilities, she is so cool! i do like how when we see her from jisa's point of view, she isn't necessarily the best mother in the world--a lot of her duties and problems take away from being a better parent.
i love your description of jisa's mindhealing abilities.
man, i hope the thing with yfandes gets sorted out. she's one of my favorite characters and it seems out of character for her to reject van like that, even if he is asking really scary questions.
and lastly, it's always sunny in valdemar, or; vanyel's current mental state:
