This series is getting even worse on the retarded plot twists. Harald loses oars on his ship. He makes the worst possible and I mean the absolutely no sense kind of idiotic deal to get them back. Louis is saying that he betrayed everyone (on earlier books) because he was a prisoner - he was not a prisoner. Thorgren also does stupid deals, because why the hell not. The writing is just lazy and we the readers are idiots for keep coming back and expect something better.
