I think Wildbow has proven that he can write smart/clever characters and intrigue quite well. I am enjoying Peer, but to be honest I'm pretty sure I'll read whatever Wildbow writes next.

I don't like that we're only going to be able to read past the first three chapters with one of these stories.  I want to read them all!

thespaceinvader posted:Has Jeremy just hosed up? He specified carefully that Conquest was not to harm the Duchamps, but a LOT of that family have been married off and aren't Duchamps any longer, technically... I think the fact that we know that the Duchamps are all women, marry to further the family magically/politically/whatever and are bound to have only female offspring due to...something, and yet are all called Duchamps means they don't take the name of the sperm donor they have married and are all considered Duchamps. Sandra is certainly a Duchamp despite her marriage to Jeremy.

If it was just a Pact thread then we could not use spoiler tags at all, just tell people not to read up unless they've read the latest update. Maybe. I'm a little worried about our heroes, guys.

I am enjoying the story but it does sort of feel like Blake is running on a treadmill - lots of action but not getting ahead. Edit: which, ultimately, could be the entire point. It has been hammered home that his situation is pretty much hopeless. If it goes on too much longer (and I don't think it will, as the Conquest arc is coming to a close and I anticipate a paradigm shift with the conclusion of that) Pact is going to really suffer I think.

Namarrgon posted:I wonder if that 'deal' with the Light God is going to bite Blake in the rear end. Either the god answered a small bit of worship/prayer in helping Blake curbstomp Ur or it was an act so minor the god was running on autopilot. In the first case it might not have been a freebie. I figured it was trading worship for light. Not a 'deal' so much as just powering up the god with a tiny bit of worship (American Gods, Small Gods style)

Pavlov posted:Yeah, something feels off about that last bit to me too. Was Blake in mirror-land the whole time he was fighting Ur? We don't see any description of anything like how Rose said mirror-land was. He also has his own reflection, and isn't limited to certain places like Rose was. Also if he was in mirror-land couldn't he just have used that to jump out of Ur's factory? Wildbow confirmed in the comments that Blake did not fight Ur in the physical world (but he didn't specifically say he fought Ur in the mirror world so

Love the new chapter, but it felt short.  We are seeing some classic Wildbow frying pan/fryer situations develop.

Awakening the Thornburns and taking on the responsibility for everything they do in perpetuity seems like such a terrible idea that I can't wait to see what Blake does with them.

The way Peter is good at reading people and picks up on things so quickly, and finds unconventional ways to fix a problem reminds me a lot of Blake.

The old woman is the old aboriginal woman practitioner who lives in Jacobs Bell. Maggie went to see her when she lost her name.

If Corvidae messes with Rose by giving Blake back his connections it would be perfection.

Duress 12.2 The witch hunters were the least of our problems, with the Thorburns gathered in the diabolist library, and monsters at the gates. I can't think of any aces they might have up their sleeves - a lot of wildcards though with the Thorburns. Barboretum doesn't work as an ace if no one can control him.

GreyjoyBastard posted:I suspect that anybody can make a deal with Barbatorem on their own initiative (if they can work out a communication protocol / Rose's works for other people), they just don't necessarily have the benefit of non-Seal preexisting conditions. Blake dealing with Barbatorem seems like the only sensible Wildbow thing to do - a solution to a problem that quickly becomes a worse problem.

Blake also bedded a bunch of girls and built chicken coops, built displays and frames and such for art pieces, and worked manual labor on a farm. I'm not saying a girl can't do those things but for me it throws the idea that Rose is the real one and Blake was cut out from her into doubt. I'm in the Blake is the original camp for now.

Ty already has the gateway open to the other side though. We'll see. It always gets worse.
