I feel like I’ve been doing a lot of character analysis lately bc, idk, I’m considering taking Literature next year and I wanna convince myself that I can do Literature. But my mom will probably murder me if I do. It was one of the subjects that dragged down my score during ‘O’ Levels so I’m really hesitant. I like the subject but sometimes interest does not equate to skill and what if I screw up for ‘A’ Levels again?? Oh man why am I even freaking out about this now. Ignore me please.

Summary:
Her vengeance. His vision.
Ari lost everything she once loved when the Five Guilds’ resistance fell to the Dragon King. Now, she uses her unparalleled gift for clockwork machinery in tandem with notoriously unscrupulous morals to contribute to a thriving underground organ market. There isn’t a place on Loom that is secure from the engineer turned thief, and her magical talents are sold to the highest bidder as long as the job defies their Dragon oppressors.
Cvareh would do anything to see his sister usurp the Dragon King and sit on the throne. His family’s house has endured the shame of being the lowest rung in the Dragons’ society for far too long. The Alchemist Guild, down on Loom, may just hold the key to putting his kin in power, if Cvareh can get to them before the Dragon King’s assassins.
When Ari stumbles upon a wounded Cvareh, she sees an opportunity to slaughter an enemy and make a profit off his corpse. But the Dragon sees an opportunity to navigate Loom with the best person to get him where he wants to go.
He offers her the one thing Ari can’t refuse: A wish of her greatest desire, if she brings him to the Alchemists of Loom.Read More »
