I only just saw a post on her tumblr that there is a Book 2 - will we still be with Sette and Duane? Is it a new raft of characters entirely?

This reasoning is possible for forums user idonotlikepeas!
She has said in the past that some characters will be leaving with book one, but hasn't said which, or how, or who will continue to stick around.

Duane and Sette will stick around.

there are no particular guarantees what will happen to them otherwise, and they're both apparently immortal in one or more senses, so,

gotta say, this page makes me despise Emne more than all the previous ones, and i think it has something to do with her pulling the "you abandoned me" card on a man saving her and everyone else, and then getting worse

on the plus side we get some remarkable elka faces, and also knock helpfully reminding everybody that the frummagems offer discreet and affordable removal services

Agreed, if Karl wasn't such a jerk, she wouldn't be playing this card. Or at least it would probably be more like "Oh sorry I thought you were dead, I'm so happy you are alive and well, but I'm with this other guy now, sorry, bye! Oh, and mind taking our daughter Chea away with you since you're here?" Instead it's "plan B failed horribly, hey, look, there's plan A again all of a sudden and it looks pretty good again right now!" I hope Emil isn't buying her crap.

Meanwhile, yeah, both of these things were pretty great. I mean, the other stuff is good in a story telling way, but the latter is good in a plain old fun sort of way.

I don't think Emil ever had a ton of choice in the matter in the first place, Esme Toma wanted to marry the hero Emil and so she did. Who knows what the laws are about marriage in Cresce, but I somehow doubt Karl will survive this section.

Man, re-reading I'd forgotten how downright heroic Jivi was. I'd been thinking too much about how he was a teenager [derogatory] since the Litriya Shrine arc and forgotten how often he'd leapt to save lives before that.

Man, today's page is great. Can't decide what I enjoy more, Duane teaching pymary mid-battle, or that bug he coughs out while yelling at Knock.

Edit: on reflection, it's the battle-tutoring. I've said before that Duane has huge player-character energy, and the trick he's describing is exactly the kind of bullshit players who've read the entire sourcebook try and pull.

Player: Can I do the thing?

GM: I... guess, but it'll probably kill you.

Player: How about using X and Y by exploiting Z and β to do the thing?

GM: Why do I even try?

Yeah, Jivi's a capital G "Good Person" most of the time, which isn't something you can say about most of the characters in this comic. He has his shortcomings, but it's mostly growing pains stuff.

Matty is an innocent. Toma tries to do good, but he's motivated by duty and is burdened with indoctrinated prejudices. Jivi does good to everyone who he sees needs it. It's not his job to be the hero, and there is no expectation of him to defend others, but he does that anyhow because that is who he has chosen to be.

is he, though? he’s never shown the blind nationalism that Duane has, though that’s partly because Bell was never subtle about putting Toma in the crosshairs. he hasn’t denounced the Queen directly but he also doesn’t have the full details of her plan and is currently more interested in saving the people in his immediate vicinity
