About the Author

The blinding knife ch 79 to the end.

 Ch 79

Gavin isn't ready to check on Dazen yet.  He wants to do sex to hus sex slave.  But shes not here s o he just goes to sleep.  He wakes up to someone sexually pleasuring him.  He thinks its his sex slaves but it's not.  It's one of the meangirl Hogwarts students.  He's kinda halfheartedly pushing her off as Karris, who has decided to have sex with Gavin (who she knows is really Dazen) pushes her way into the room.  She sees him sexing and runs away.  Gavin kills the Hogwarts meangirl.

ch 80 pg 397

Karris is called to do her black guard duty cause Gavin killed the Hogwarts meangirl.  This is a pain cause she's still dressed for sex, not fighting.

Gavin puts on an invisibility cloak and hides from the people that intend to take him to justice.

Ch 81

dazen escapes for real.  Not into another color prison, but our one of the tunnels Gavin uses to visit Dazen.

Ch 82 pg 407

Kip and Teia talk about the black guard challenge fights and based on who has challenge coins and who's gonna fight who when what the likely end rankings are.

Kip wants Teia to sign the freedom papers.  Teia has a better idea.  The whole system is built around slavery and so if a person is a slave and becomes a black guard their owner gets paid a ton of money.  So kip holds onto Teia's ownership until she becomes a black guard and they split the money.

Ch 83 pg 412

I know Dazen is really Gavin and he was a horrible person.  But I'm always gonna root for a prison break.  Go Dazen Go!!!!

He doesn't make it.  He might have been close, but he set off a booby trap that spelled out the word almost and then dropped him down into the yellow prison.

ch 84 pg 418

Gavin goes down to face Dazen. Lots of screaming ensues.  It seems like they eventually come to am agreement that Dazen will save the world and not harm kip or Karris and Gavin will be exiled to an island for the rest of his short life.  Then Gavin pulls out guns and shoots Dazen dead.  I guess hating your brother is more important than saving the world.

Ch 85 pg 427

 The gurds that were guarding gavin's room (one of whom is naned Gavin) give their testimony to the white about Gavin murdering the higwarts meangirl.  They say Gavin didnt killer.  He pushed her out on the balcony, but then she jumped.  Not sure whats going on here.  In Chapter 79 it seemed pretty clear Gavin threw he r off the balcony.  So maybe theyre lying to protect Gavin or maybe thats what they thunk t hey saw for some reason.

Also, the white gives Karris permission to date Gavin.  That's against the rules currently if any black guard tried ti date the person they were pritecting it woukf be againat the rules.

ch 86 pg 433

Gavin climbs out of the prison and does sex with his sex slave.

Ch 87 pg 437

Kips grandfather summons gavin and says a bunch of mean stuff.  That's his whole deal after all.

ch 88 pg 439

th black guard recruits are doing another mission.  They are split up into teams.  Most of the team is guards and one of them is the "color" and the goal is to get the color to the exit point.  Theyve got money and the gamgs in the area have been informed of the drill so it won't be easy.  Kip's group is kinda doing OK cause kip is their color and he is allowed to shoot people with luxin.

Speaking of shooting, someone with a gun shoots one of the black guard trainees in the neck with a bullet and she's super duper dead.

Ch 89 pg 448

Karris is wandering about the city looking for Gavin.  She gets jumped.  It's very very bad.

Ch 90 pg 451

But not as bad as the black guard recruit we know is already dead.  Her name was Lucia.

It's time for the black guard to go to war.  The trainees will go to war with them. Today is the last fight day.  If you're in the top 14, you are in.  Kip wins a few fights.  He realizes at one point that he has a bit of a conspiracy on his hands.  A group of trainees that are all really good fighters but are currently low ranked, did this on purpose so they could stop him from making it in my challenging up.  So kip challenges as high up as he can and loses the fight.  Things don't look good for Kip.

Ch 91 pg 464

Not sure whats going on here.  My guess is it's kips grandfather looking for the blinding knife.

Ch 92 pg 465

As expected, the group that's working against kip work real crafty like and challenge fighters above kip to push him down a notch.  That is until its Aram's turn.  He's the ringleader of the group.  Kip shames him into picking kip to fight.  Part of this is that you pick the colors you want to fight with. Kip says "ALL OF THEM!!!!" And he thinks this is gonna be awesome.  But then he's told that there are rules against omnichromes using all the colors in black guard fights.  So they end up fighting with just Green.

Aram ends up winning but the fight is so brutal that Aram is disqualified from fighting for the rest of the day.  

Kip goes and sits down next to Gavin and they watch the rest of the fights.  Teia ends up 7th.  Cruxer ends up first.  When the fighting is over Cruxer makes it clear that the testing is over and anything that happens now would count as training.  He then kicks Aram in the knee so hard that it's irreparably broken forever.  Training "accident" and Aram is out and Kip is in.

Ch 93 pg 477

After getting beat up karris tries to limp back home.  Some kindly man finds her and takes her back to the Chromeria.  She wakes up in Gavin's bed.  She is pretty doped up and tells Gavin she wants to see him naked.

Ch 94 pg 479

When Karris wakes up for real Gavin tells her he's Dazen and then he tells her everything else.  But I don't think he tells her he's lost blue and green.  They make out.  The white shows up and they get married.  Now it's Gavin off to plan the war.

Also, we're pretty sure it's Kip's grandfather that had her beaten up and sabotaged Kip's entry into the black guard. 

Ch 95 pg 487

Gavin goes into the war room and sees tjay nobody there was involved in the previous war and tells the generals they don't know what they are doing and leaves.

Ch 96 pg 490

Ironfist tells Gavin He's gotta get a ring. He decides to give her his mom's ring.  He goes to his mom's apartments and finds her slave who explains that she said she'd be freed and Kip's grandfather's man Grinwoody was somehow in charge of the paperwork.  Kip's grandfather being a dipshit Gavin isn't gonna stand for this shit.  He breaks into Kip's grandfather's apartments and gets her paperwork and steals a deck of magic the gathering cards.  

He goes to his moms and gets some money to give to her slave and the ring to give to Karris.

The ring has already been resized for Karris.  It sucks that Kip didn’t get to hang out with his grandmother.  She sounds great.

Ch 97 pg 497

Gavin and ironfist get in a boat and use magic to go real fast and they find the color prince's army.  Also Ilytian ships supplying said army.  

I'm very confused about directions and distances here.  Looking at where the chromeria is and where Ru is It seems like you would head east to get to the Atashian coast and then go north.  But they "overshot the Color Prince's army, going too far south"  but they wouldn't be going south.  They'd be going northeast.  Maybe the map and the words in the book aren't actually related.

Gavin and ironfist go all the way from Ru to Idoss and back and get all the intel they'll need to murder a bunch of relatively innocent sailors tomorrow.   They meet up with the navy headed to Ru and get people ready for tomorrow.  Kip finds Gavin and tells him he wants to come tomorrow.  Gavin has one question,  if he sees Liv and she's attacking will he kill her?  If the answer is no, he can't come.  You can't watch someone's back unless you're willing to kill anyone that would try to stab them.

Ch 98 pg 502

Gavin has a bunch of skimmers and he shows the black guards how to make them go.  They find a big pirate ship.  They talk about how to attack it.  The first three rules of skimmer fight club is go fast.

Ch 99 pg 508 Liv 

Liv and the guy that tried to kill Gavin with the blinding knife are doing sex a lot.  The color prince comes to talk to Liv.  He has some grand plan for her and he isn't telling her what it is.  He has her try to guess.  She does not guess.  

We also find out they don't just have some help from Ilysian ships, they have the full support of the Ilysian navy and they have all but wiped out the Atashian navy already.

Ch 100 pg 513

Kip and his dad and a bunch of black guards go to fight a big pirate ship.   Kip does a cool thing where he uses ultraviolet luxin to draw lines to all the guns every pirate is holding and then sends ultra red to blow them all up.  His dad infects a rat on the ship with red luxin and makes it blow itself up in the gun powder room and it blows up the rest of the ship that Kip's shenhannegans with the guns didn't finish up.

Ch 101 pg 524

Kip's dad goes back to seer Island.  The seer tells him he's gotta go get Karris.  If he doesn't he'll die.  He's gonna die pretty soon anyway, but he's got time enough to do what must be done if he gets Karris.  If he doesn't, he'll die and the old gods will come back.

Also, the seer and the general are married now.  I suppose we gotta couple the main characters with sexy lamps before the end of the book.

Ch 102 pg 533

Zymon ( the guy that failed to kill gav in with the blinding knife) is planning to betray the color prince.  Liv recognizes in this moment just how insane and unstable Zymon is.  She had previously planned to have a prolonged period of making Zymon not like her.  But shes gotta pace up that plan quite a bit.  So she goes to the color prince and tells him about Zymon's planned betrayal.  He knows.  This was his great purpose for her.  To get confirmation that Zymon planned to betray him.

What we hear next is what i presume to be the color prince sending Zymon on  suicide mission.

Ch 103 pg 537

The black guard get in thir lttle boats with their luxin bombs and blow up some bad guy boats.  One of them gets shot.  They go to a nearby village to see a bunch of whales having beached there.  They talk to a guy who tells them about not only this weirdness but also all sorts of other insanity.  Theres a wrongness to things.  The green luxin users can feel it the most.  They go home.  When ironfist goes out the next day he doesnt bring any greens with him.  

kip's grandfather invites him to play magic the gathering.  So hes got something to do instead of blowing up boats.

Ch 104 pg 542

Karris and gavin do sex.  More importantly, they talk about their feelings.

Ch 105 pg 552

Kips grandfather apologies for trying to kill kip and make him not get into the black guard.  He had thought of doing the freeing after his wife, but torturing kip has renewed his will to live. He thanks kip for that. 

ch 106 pg 556

Gavin goes to the Chromeria heads and tells them what's what as far as the war effort is concerned. 

Ch 107 pg 558

Gavin is leading a group to destroy the green blight.  They go to Ru to see whats going on there.  Based on ship positions that the color prince already has the fort amd jes going to lure the Chromeria ships in with his weak middle and then destroy them with the guns from the fort.

but they're not here for that.  They use their greens sense to feel tje wrongness of green.  The y make it to where it feels as wrong as it has and they only see a handful of boats.  Gavin makes a realization that the blight is under water.  They attack the boats and the blight suffaces and its hella scary.

ch 108 pg 566

Ironfist's group is tasked with retaking the fort.  He takes Teia with him because she can use her xray vision to see through walls and tell if soldiers habe armor on under their cloaks.  They kill a bunch of dudes on the path up to the fort.

They get some resistance and some black guards get killed.  Teia is surrounded and is gonna get shot to death and then she kills all those guys with xrays.

They take over the cannons just in time to see the green blight emerge from the ocean.

Ch 109 pg 581

Liv is with the team thats sneaking into the city through a secret tunnel to I guess get the main doors open so the real army can attack for real.  It goes OK.  The city of Ru had a pyramid with a mirror thing at the top.thays controlled by ultraviolet luxin. Liv uses it to send green light to the green blight.  

She does this seeing that Gavin and Kip and Karris are down there trying to stop it.  She knows they're going to die, but it will be worth it if they can remake the world.

Ch 110 pg 592

Kip kills the green God with the blinding knife. Iron fist helps a bit with shooting cannons at the green tower as it tried to birth the green God.  Gavin and Karris are still alive.  

Ch 111 pg 610

Kips grandfather summons gavin.  Kip goes with. Somehow kip figures out that his grandfather is a red wight.  He goes to take off his glasses so Gavin can see.  Kips grandfather stabs kip.  Kip stabs his grandfather.  Kips grandfather man gets in on the fight and somehow Gavin ends up getting stabbed in the chest with the blinding knife and falls overboard.   Kip jumps in after him.

Ch 112 pg 616

Kip saves Gavin.  As much as you can save someone with a sword in their chest.  Who really saves them is gunner.  His ship finds them and pulls them up out of the water.  He also pulls the sword out of Gavin and he's still really alive.

Ch 113 pg 619

Liv and the color prince talk.  They have largely taken the city.  Further brutality and depravity will ensue until they fully control it.  The color prince thinks Zymun is dead because he knows at one point they took the point but then the Black guards took it back.  So he probably died in the fight.  Also he says he knows Gavin is dead.  What he really knows is that Gavin no longer has control over any powers and so Banes of every color will emerge.

He gives Liv a choker and says he has a true great purpose for her ultraviolet powers.

Ch 114 pg 620

I guess stabbing Gavin with the blinding knife stole the color from Gavin into Kip's grandfather. His eyes are back to normal.  No longer a wight.  He thinks he has 10 good years left.

I guess kip was thrown off of Gunner's ship as he washed up on the shore.  Zymun is there.  And he has news.  He is Gavin and Karris's child.  They're brothers.  Kip has a brother, how lovely. He has been communicating with Kip's grandfather.   

Ch 115 pg 623

Gavin is completely color blind.

Time machine ch 7 through 14

 Ch 7 pg 121

Time traveler decides he's gonna go to the big palace he can see in the distance.  If any place is safe so the morlocks won't be able to get to him and eat him it's that place.  So he takes Weena and heads that way.  But it's way farther away than he thought and also he's got shoe troubles and ends up  throwing away his shoes slowing him down further.

This guy sucks.  What was that book where the kid goes up to Alaska without any preparation and dies in the woods?  I didn't feel bad when that guy died.  I wouldn't feel bad if the time traveler did the same.  In a way it's a shame I know he won't die.  Also I'm watching 11.22.63 on Hulu and he's similarly unprepared for anything and I'm feeling similar feelings about him.

Ch 8 pg 135

Time traveler makes it to the palace. He finds some stuff that might be useful.  He ends up leaving with an iron bar, matches and some camphor.  He figures his time machine is in the sphinx and he can pry it open with the iron bar and the matches and flammable camphor will scare away any morlocks.

Ch 9 pg 149

They head back the sphinx and once again it gets dark in the woods.  The mordocks start to head up from the caves below to feed.  But time traveler is no easy meal.  He uses the matches and camphor to scare them away.  He picks up weena and the iron bar amd runs away.  At some point he keeps lighting fires and running and killing mordocks with the iron bar and realizes he's not sure where he's going.  Luckily one of his previously lit fires has burned completely out of control so the choice of it is kind of taken away from him as all he can do is run away from the fire.  At some point in this he loses weena.  He presumes she's dead. He ends up on a hill where he can see the palace and the sphinx.  

Ch 10 pg 164

The time traveler makes his way to the sphinx.  The doors are already open.  He goes in and starts to set up the time machine for travel.  The doors close.  It was a trap.  The morlocks attack. But he fights them off and gets the levers in place to do the time travel.

Ch 11 Pg 171

Timetraveler goes way far in the future. There's green moss and giant crabs.  He goes further into the future and there's no sign og life and there's an eclipse. He goes way further like millions of years and there's a floppy tentacled thing on the beach.

Ch 12 pg 182

No one believes the time traveler. But narrator kind of does now.  He went to see the time traveler right before he disappeared. He has been gone for three years now.  Narrator suspects he will not return.

Epilogue pg 193

Narrator thinks about where the timetraveler might be.  Back with the dinosaurs or in the stone age.  He'd like to think he went to the future but not nearly so far as the time of the morlocks.  A time when man is still man but a lot of our current problems have been solved.  If the time traveler found such a time, I could see him deciding to stay there.

The blinding knife 40 through 78

 Ch 40 pg 173

Karris tells Gavin he has her blessing to fuck the seer.  He tells her to shut the fuck up.  There's no room in his heart for love. Only darkness.

Ch 41 pg 175

Dazen is in the green prison. A blue loaf of bread comes down the shoot. It's blue enough to draft.

Ch 42 pg 17 teia

Teia meets her owner.  This is the first time she's meeting her face to face.  Turns out her real owner isn't who she thought. Who she thought was her owner turns out to just be a fake paper trail.  Her real owner is the sister  of the former governor of garrison. Gavin killed him.  That's her motivation for revenge against Gavin.  Teia tells her about the extra training kip is getting and the person she saw get murdered with her secret color.  

Teia is rewarded with a promise of extra training in her secret color.  Shes also rewarded with a necklace with a vial of olive oil.  A gross reminder that if she displeases her owner she will be sent to a brothel where olive oil will be vitally important as shes repeatedly raped.

Ch 43 pg 187 kip

The librarian is helping him get better at Magic the gathering. They hit a snag when they figure out Kip's grandfather is using old cards that are largely banned.  Even the books about playing with those cards are banned.  But she tells him to go see old lady Boring and she call tell him about the black cards.

Ch 44 pg 193

Old lady boring makes Magic the gathering cards.  She makes cards based on real people.  She has the ability to see the truth about people.  She's starting to make a card based on Kip.  She knows he's far smarter and magically powerful than he knows.  She kind of tells him he's an omnicrome by asking if he wants to be prism.  She also kinda tells him he's not gavins son by telling him Gavin has two secrets and kip isn't one of them.

Ch 45 pg 197

The seer tells Gavin that something called the bane was in the sea and he was going to find it and fight it.  If he brought karris,  his odds of success were high but so were the odds of her death.

Ch 46 pg 200

Liv and the color prince talk about a lot of stuff.  One super cool bit that comes up is that the color prince seems to know that his assassination attempt on Gavin was partially successful. 

Ch 47 pg 206

Kip and old lady Boring are talking and it rapidly becomes not boring.  The cards are based on real people and that's a big part of the game's appeal. It's people you know or know of and in this case it's someone kip is related to.  Zee okenshield and old lady Boring has the original card.  She has most of the original cards cause she's the one that makes them.  While drafting luxin and touching the card Kip is transported as if he is Zee okenshield on the battlefield. She also pretty much tells him he can draft all the colors.  And she keeps saying "is being prism not enough for you?" As if he knows fuck about shit.  Really most of what she says is rhetorical as Kip could not be a useful part of this conversation since he hasn't been told the whole truth about anything. 

One very valuable thing she tells him is that he will never beat his grandfather using the deck he is given.

Ch 48 213

teia is getting training from another paryl user.  She shows her what her eyes look like when she adjusts to see paryl.  Theyre completely black.  They talk about the man teia saw kill with solid paryl.  The tutor says to never tell anyone.  Theres a cycle with paryl users where its ok for a while then someone finds out you can kill with paryl or spreads rumors of it and paryl users are killed as heretics.  So if teia doesnt want to end up dead she should never talk about solid paryl again.

Ch 49 pg 218

Kip plays cards with his grandpa and loses again.  He's playing with a white deck and after losing he sees the blinding knife card.  Based on his reaction grandpa knows he's seen it.  Grandpa knew that kips mother had it all along.

Next game will be high stakes.  They play for Teia.  If grandfather wins she becomes his slave and probably does unspeakable things to her.  If kip wins, grandfather will give her to kip.  

Ch 50 pg 224

Grandpa has kip moved to a private room.  For a number of reasons this passes kip off.  He goes to old lady Boring and asks to make a deck of black cards.  She repeats the thing she said last time about him being smarter than he thought.

Ch 51 pg 226

Gavin is looking for some big dangerous blue thing and it's not going well.  But the tyreans have show up and their settlement on the isle of seers is going well.  Karris yells at Gavin for not being a better father to Kip.

Ch 52 pg 232

Old lady boring tells kip she'll give him a deck of black cards.  But she also explains that a single black card is worth more money than kip has ever had.  A deck of black cards is worth more than kip might make in his whole life. Kip has an idea.  Don't use priceless originals.  Use copies.  Old lady boring calls him a genius at this.

Ch 53 pg 234

Gunner is back!!!!

He and his pirate steal a boat.  It's a good boat with big strong slaves manning the oars.

Ch 54 pg 240

This one is a doozy.  The black guard scrubs are dropped off in the bad part of town and are loudly given a lot of money and told to make it to wherever ironfist is.  Not sure where that is but I remember there was a fountain.  Teia has a baller idea and she gives their money to a currier to take it to ironfist.  Pretty much every one else ends up forming a corporation and fighting their way to iron fist.  Some of them make it with all their money.

Ch 55 pg 250

Gavin finds an island out in the sea 🌊 made of blue luxin.  This is rough for him because he can't see blue so he kinda takes a while to figure out that's what he's seeing.  It's populated by blue wights.  Wait, it gets worse.  There's a central spire of blue luxin and when the sun hits it at noon it starts to form human looking body parts.  No, not human, godly.  This is the birth of the God of blue luxin.  Gavin can't have this, so he kills the God as it's being formed.   Then the blue island of luxin sinks into the sea he kills every blue wight. So much murder, so little time.

Ch 56 pg 257

The lady that owns Teia gets a visit from a very bad man under the employ of Kip's grandfather. He comes in and right away demands that she sign Teia over to Kip's grandpa.  She tells him to fuck off and he runs away and she sends guards to beat him up.  He returns, I assume after killing her guards, and starts to torture her.

Ch 57 pg 260

It's fighting day and it's not going well for kip. He gets beat real quick in his first two fights.  In his third fight he's not liking his odds as the kid he's up against is one of the best fighters.  Luckily for Kip, the color of the fight is red.  Kip just figured out how to make solid red luxin.  The kid he's fighting is blue green.  So he's able to stick the kid to the ground with red luxin and then punches him in the face and breaks his nose.  Kip goes to sit down on a chair and he breaks a chair.

At this, Cruxer, the blackest of the black guard trainees gives a speech about black guard names.  He dubs kip breaker.

Ch 58 pg 264

Kips grandpa immediately makes fun of Kip for his new name.  He talks about the legend of the light bringer and how he's also called the breaker.  He says rich people fear the light bringer cause if he breaks the world order they might not be rich anymore.

Kip uses the decks he got from old lady Boring to beat his grandfather and become Teia's new owner.  Grandfather is very very angry.

Ch 59 270

Kip has a magic the gathering card experience.   Now that he kinda understands what's going on he can really dive deep into the memories of the person in the card.  So much so this time it's like he is that person and when he comes back into himself after it's a crazy disappointment. This guy was just being given orders to kill old lady Boring.

Ch 60 pg 274

Kip tells Teia that he owns her now.  Her first thought is he probably wants to do sex to her.  Of course he does, but not Like this.  He does have a bit of an internal conflict but before any sex happens he tells her he has freed her.

She leaves wherever it was they were and kip realizes he's all alone.  He doesnt see any spies.  He goes down to the dorm to see if his knife is still there.  It's not.  Bunks have been reassigned he goes into the chest where it used to be and somebody catches him and accuses him of stealing. He turns right around and accuses that guy of stealing.  Kip goes to the lost and found and he finds his knife there.

Ch 61

Kip decides to go to old lady Boring house since she is good at hiding valuable stuff.  Maybe he can leave the knife there.  He gets there and the door has been broken and it smells of gun powder and blood.  He goes inside and kills two assasins with invisibility cloaks.  They're not invisible to him cause he's an omnicrome. He finds old lady Boring still a little but alive.  She tells him to grab the deck out of her tobacco box.  She has extra booby trapped the house to explode if stuff gets stolen.  Kip runs away carrying her as the house explodes.  Also,  old lady Boring dies.  

Ch 62

The color prince is taking the army east to take over Atash.  He doesnt go right for tue big city.  He sends people out to the country to get food and other supplies.  He takes over the silver mines.  He crushes a town on his way back to the big city.

say what you wil about him, but he's legitimizing sex work in a way that i find is bery really respectful.

ch 63

Theres a lady thats a blue drafter.  She knows that gavin is dazen.  Shes being held by the color prince, much like how Karris was being held with the hope she will join the army.  But shes trying to escape.  Then at the end of the Chapter its not really her that we're in this chaptwr with.  Its someone thats channeling her magic the gathering card.  so thats a cool thing ti know is possible.  I wonder if that was what the assasins that were sent for old lady boring were after.

ch 64

Kip is on the run from the world at large with four priceless treasures.  He gets the idea to go to iron fist.

He is let into iron fist's room.  He pits the four priceless things on the bed and uses subred luxin to dry off.  He kind of goes into a shame spiral about how he could have used Magic to do all sorts of things he didn't think of tonight.  He then decides that instead of waiting for iron fist and explaining the situation he's gonna go confront his grandfather right now.  He tells the black guard guarding the door he'll be back in ten minutes.  I'm real confused about this as I thought his grandfather's place was kinda a ways away.  But I guess it's here in the main chromeria building. 

He forces his way in and accuses his grandfather of killing old lady boring.  His grandfather explains that no amount of card game shenhannegans would motivate him to kill a demiurge.  I guess a demiurge is a maker of magic the gathering cards.

Also, he was friendly with this particular demiurge, for a time.  She made a card of him and let him see what other people would be able see if they channeled it.  This is a great honor and if kip now feels very foolish. 

Ch 65 pg 302

Another magic the gathering card scene.  This time it's a lord commander but the identifiable person in the scene is named finer and they are injecting green luxin into their knees so that they can jump down a cliff and be ok at the bottom.

Ch 66 pg 304

Kip is back in iron fists room.  He's looking at the cards.  He finds his grandfather's card.  In this card his grandfather is a young warrior and he has the blinding knife.   And the card of one of the assasins that killed old lady Boring.  He finds one he thinks is commander ironfist. Commander ironfist shows up and says it's not him.  It's his brother. Kip explains everything to ironfist.  Kip says one more thing.  Ironfist, as a joke,  says what, you got another legendary thing you found?  Kip shows him the knife.  Also, one of the jewels now glows green.

Ch 67 pg 310

Dazen uses the blue bread to escape from the green prison.

Ch 68 pg 313

Gavin is making the general the Satrap of seers Island. Among other things this means the color prince can't kill Liv or he'd risk uniting all the other Satraps against him.  Gavin and karris leave.

Ch 69 pg 318

Iron fist does not love the position that kip has put him in.  Between the cloaks and the blinding knife and the cards there's enough motivation to have kip declared a heretic and killed for any normal person. Luckily iron fist isn't a normal person.  He's abnormally loyal.  

Gavin shows up and (for reasons I don't really understand) ironfist has to go on the run.  It's something to do with Kip's grandfather. 

Ch 70 pg 326

The color prince and hus army make it to the big city.  He meets with the guy in charge of the  city,  who is the Satarap's son.  He's gonna do horrible things to the city if they don't surrender. 

 CH 71 pg 334

The white convinces ironfist to stay.  Kips grandpa may want him out, but that doesnt mean hes going to get what he wants.  If ironfist runs he gives kips granfpa what he wants.  Have faith in Gavin.

Ch 72 pg 340

The color prince Gave big city til noon to surrender. Noon comes and no surrendering yet. So they take one of the women they captured from the smaller city and launch her into the city walls with a catapult.  They do better with the next lady.  She makes it over the wall and we'll into the city.  Eventually the surrender happens.  Also Liv got a letter from her dad telling her to come home .  She's not gonna do that.  She's gonna have sex with her tutor.  

Ch 73 pg 348

Gavins back and he's got lots of business to attend to.  But he does take some time to talk to kip.  He tells kip that he has all the powers and that he shouldn't worry about the whole lightbringer thing cause he's pretty sure it's nonsense.  

Ch 74 pg 357

Magical congress is meeting to vote on war.  Gavin felt kinda ok coming into this meeting.  But things have gone badly for him.  First,  the lady in charge of whatever country is the green is dead.  She died of a stroke.  Donuts to dollars, she's the lady we saw murdered with peryl.  There's lots of explaining who's which color and what country they're from.  The hammer drops at the end when Kip's grandfather shows up.  Gavin is pretty screwed.

Ch 75 pg 361

Karris shows up to black guard training.  She demonstrates a takedown by poking cruxer in the eye and breaking a finger and then she flips him.  Flips him for real.

Ch 76 pg 363

Through some political shenhannegans Gavin gets congress to approve the war. He also declares that kip is his legitimate son.

Ch 77 pg 379

Smite, one of the Black guards that's been escorting Kip around, comes to Karris.  She confesses a secret long held.  She was beholden to kips grandmother because she saved her brothers from pirates.  She gives karris a note from Kip's grandmother. It says Dazen has always loved her and has always loved her.  Two big important things here.  Dazen didn't alope with karris because he honestly thought she loved Gavin and Dazen didn't want to interfere with karris's happiness.  The other is that Dazen didn't storm into her family's house and murder her brothers like karris and pretty much everyone else thinks.  He was lured there by her brothers into a trap.  They chained all the doors shut and flooded the house with red light cause they didn't know Dazen could draft red.  Her brothers may have died at Dazen's hand, but it was self defense.

Smite, as per Kip's grandmothers instructions,  gives karris a gun and a fancy dress.  She chooses the fancy dress, assuming to go make woopy with Dazen.

Ch 78 pg 383

Kip's grandfather summons Gavin.  He says Gavin has to marry and have children.  Gavin says he'll only marry Karris.  Kip's grandfather says that won't do and he's to marry a rich lady's sister.  A green drafter. Kip's grandfather appointed her to be THE green but Gavin in manuverings to get his war vote got her removed from that position. Kip's grandfather wants Gavin to marry a woman that hates him because it's politically convenient.

Gavin says he won't and Kip's grandfather makes some threats.  Threats that Gavin is sure are related to secrets the real Gavin knows.  But fake Gavin doesn't know what the hell Kip's grandfather is talking about and he's worried if he says anything Kip's grandfather will realize that he's fake.  

So Kip's dad does the only thing he can think of.  He leaves without saying a word. 

The time machine ch 1 through 6

 Ch 1

The timetraveler is having a bit of a salon with other academics. He's explaining how there's four dimensions to be traveled. Height, width, depth and time.  He talks about how we can only easily travel width or depth wise easily.  Height requires machines to aide us.  It is the same with time.  He can travel through time with a machine.  He has a tiny time machine and in a demonstration he declares to be sending it in time.  What we see is that it has disappeared. We assume it must have traveled forward in time as if it had traveled back in time we would have seen it on the table in the past.

Ch 2 pg 25

Narrator goes to hangout with the time traveler again.  He shows up and there's another group of intellectual people. The tike traveller's not there.  Eventually he shows up and he's in bad shape.  He's not even wearing shoes.  He says he's been time traveling and he will tell the tale as long as nobody argues with what he says or interrupts the story.

Ch 3 pg 37

Time traveler tells the story.  Most of it is him going back and forth in time without do8ng anything other than explaining that the physical effects on him caused by the time machine suck.  Certainly not the sort of thing he would suggest after saying "who wants to have a good time?  

He goes a ways into the future and I think the machine flips over or something and he hurts his chin.  He finds himself next to a giant sphinx looking statue.  He hears talking and sees hooded figures heading his way.  He considers getting the hell out of there.  But as they get closer he sees they're bald.  So he ain't afraid of no bald heads.

Ch 4 pg 49

He thinks this is roughly the year 2800.  The people have tentacles.  He makes sure to disable the time machine and he and the little pretty tentacled people go somewhere else. They just eat fruit.  After a fruit meal the time traveler walks up a hill to see the city.  The river has shifted quite a bit.  The buildings are completely different. Where there used to be tons of single family homes there are now just giant buildings. Most of them are ruins.  Definitely society had built up and was now in decline.

He has all sorts of theories as to how society got to this point.  In the last sentence of the chapter he explains that all of his theories were wrong.

Ch 5 pg 72

He comes down from the hill to find his time machine is gone.  He yells at some little tentacled people, but they don't understand so they're just scared and it only gets him a feeling of shame.  He ends up kinda passing out in the lawn where he time machine used to be.  He wakes up full of despair. 

He finds that theres people living underground. He figures they took his time machine.

he also figures the underground people and the above ground people used to be people and split off evolutionary at some point.  And the above ground people are oppressing the below ground people.

Ch 6 pg 108

The time traveler decides to climb down into the underground to get his time machine back.  He is whoafully unprepared. He pretty much just gets scared and runs away.

11 22 63 ch 29 to ALLOF THEM

 Ch 29

Kennedy was saved.  Sophie is dead.  Jake is a hero.  But Jake doesn't wanna be a hero.  The FBI helps him slip away and he takes a series if busses back to (so far) Pittsburgh.  Assuming he'll get back to New England 🇬🇧 and go back....

...to the future.

Ch 30 pg 787

On the way he talks to the green card guy.  Hes some sort of time cop or whatever amd hes stationed here at what he calls the time bubble.  I dont see the point as basically what they do is stand there and go crazy.  This guy also asks nicely for Jake to undo everything.

Ch 31 pg 809

Jake goes into the apocalypse future and ends up talking to the janitor.  He doesnt have the brain damage that his dad gave him in the original timeline so he is able to explain all the horrible things that have happened since Jake saved Kennedy.  Jake is gonna go back and fix it.

He goes back and the card man time cop asks him nicely to go back and reset the timeline.  He doesnt do anything and jake runs away.  This whole green card man thing is a HUGE disappointment.

Final notes pg 825

Jake is out and free in the past.  He doesn't do anything.But he does write up his whole story, put it in a lock box and bury it.

Citizen of the century pg 833

He finds out Sadie is still alive and goes to visit her.  He tells her he knew her in another life.

Afterword pg 843

Steven talks about the research he did for this and a bit of what inspired him to write this book.

11 22 63 ch 23 - 28

 Ch 23 pg 577

Sadie's face is messed up real bad from her ex husband stabbing her.  George pretty much gives up on following lee and moves back to take care of Sadie.  He was gonna bet on the Kentucky Derby but he sees a car with a Florida license plate and is worried it's the guy that tried to kill him and walks away, no bet made.

Ch 24 pg 605

Jake tells Sadie he's from the future and here to save Kennedy.  He places a bet at a own shop.

25 pg 633

Jake gets his come uppance after the fight he bet on when some goons  related to the forst guy in dallas he won money from come to beat him up.

26 pg 671

Jake sustained some brain injury and now he can't remember who us going to kill Kennedy or where.  He does remember how because he remembers that Oswald hid his gun somewhere bear the first hotel he stayed in in Dallas.  He remembers that he has Al's notes and they're in a safety deposit box.

Ch 27 pg 689

Jake gets his stuff out of the safe deposit box.  He's gonna try to go it alone.  His plan just sorta seems to be to be there at the book depository and shoot Oswald right before he shoots Kennedy. He rents the Oswalds' old place and his plan to go it alone falls apart because Sadie shows up.  She found me, I don't know how but she found me.  RUN FOR IT MARTY!!!!

Ch 28 pg 715

HE DID IT!!!!! Jake saved JFK.  Oooohhhh weeeee it was Hella dramatic, but he got the job done.  The car blew a tire, the bus he took got run over by a garbage truck.  Sadie tried to get someone to give them a ride and the guy attacked her and she slashed him with the knife her ex slashed her with.  They end up making it to Lee right before he takes the shot.  Jake ends up shooting the window and that was enough for Lee to miss Kennedy.  Lee ends up shooting Sadie.  You wanna make an omlette, eggs will be broken.

11 22 63 part 4 ch 14 - 22

 Ch 14 pg 353

Jake (george) goes to a pawn shop and buys some bugs.  The kind you can put in a lamp with a connected recorder.  The best the early 60s had.  He then goes to the house he knows lee harvey Oswald is gonna rent in August next year and pays the lady living there to  call him when they're moving.  Hes gonna put the lamp bugs in the house before lee moves in.

Jake agrees to shaparone a dance with the new librarin.  They get a luttle hot and heavy after.  Then she runs out.  She calls him after and tells him to come over tomorrow at 5 with condoms.

Ch 15 pg 377

They do it.

Jake gets the bug lamps from the pawn shop and theyre great.

new librarian says she loves Jake and he says it back.

she's having a hard time trusting him with all these trios to dallas he can't talk about.

Ch 16 pg 400

Jake has got lee.harvwy oswalds future house all bugged up.  He's also got his sights set on renting the house across street.

I don't care about his relationship to the librarians or the school play 0r how the librarians gonna get a job in reno during the summer so after two months she can get a divorce without interacting with her astranged husband.  Or how she's sick of narrator's shit and is primed to dump him.  So I'm not gonna talk about that. 

Ch 17 pg 431

Jake goes to the airport to see lee harvey Oswald come home.  He does.  Fun thing, he also sees librarian leaving for reno.  He goes back to little town for dinner.   You know the librarian plot line I don't care about?  Well, they won't shut up about it, so the one thing I'll report about it here is that at the dinner, someone brings librarians high-school yearbook specifically so they can get a picture of her astranged husband and Jake is worried he's gonna come to town and cause trouble. 

Cool thing that also happens back in small town is there's a reporter covering the football team and he has a fancy new listening device. He goes back to the pawn shop and the guy there just heard about this.  So Jake is probably going to get one.

Ch 18 pg 459

Jake listens to Lee and family with the fancy new listening device. This works pretty well as he can listen to people when they come to the door.  Like when a boy comes selling magazines and lee gives him the communist manifesto. 

What doesn't work as well is the bug in the house that's hooked up to a tape recorder.  Mostly cause when they're home, the Oswalds speak Russian. 

Ch 19 pg 490

Jake moves into the apartment one floor below where the oswalds are going to move. The Cuban missle crisis is starting.  Jake is worried about Sadie and calls her.  She doesn't answer so he drives to her house and finds her passed out.  He tells her how the Cuban misses crisis goes and she's cool with it. 

Ch 20 pg 523

I had forgotten that there was some military guy that al thought Lee harvey Oswald tried to assassinate before Kennedy.  In this chapter we learn that Oswald did have an axe to grind against this guy as he tried to organize a protest against said military guys tv appearance. Jake didn't care enough to see if anyone showed up.  But he did watch the TV thing and while he didn't think he deserved to die, he could do with some shaking.

At the end it is revealed that lee harvey Oswald's wife is pregnant again.

Ch 21 pg 539

Jake tells librarian his name is Jake.  Jake loses the bug in Lee Harney oswalds apartment.  He's kinda flying blind heading toward Lee possibly trying to assassinate the military guy.  But he knows when and where so at least he can be there to see it.  He thinks it might go so badly that he has to go back to the future.

Ch 22 pg 559

Jake is preparing to go witness lee harvey Oswald try to kill the white supremacist former military guy and the fate stops him.  Sadie's ex husband shows up at Sadie's house and makes her call Jake and Jake drives three hours to save her.  He calls Deke (the former principal) to help and he saves Sadie with a casserole dish of chop seui. Jake doesn't wanna shoot Sadie's ex cause it'll bring too much scrutiny.  So he doesn't and the punchline is that he kills himself with a knife.  Here's hoping suicide brings less scrutiny. 

The blinding knife ch 1 through 39

 Ch 1 pg 1 Gavin

He's kinda drifting on a boat.  Sad about losing the color blue.  A sea demon swims under his boat.  For a second he's filled with a sense of awe and wonder.  Then he realizes said sea demon is headed toward the fleet that's fleeing from garrison. 

Ch 2 pg 3 Dazen 

He's going crazy in the green prison.  Blue makes you fully logical like a vulcan.  Green mkes you wild like a Klingon.  So the adjustment is hard.  But hes logicing his way into hope of escape.

She does calisthenics on the deck, ironfist joins her.  When theyre done, she tells hum the prism is going to leave again.  She wants him to make sure she goes with the prism.  Speak of the devil.  Gavin shows up and says shes pretty.  This part of the book (as are all the women's viewpoints) being written bt a 12 year old boy, she says something mean and walks away.

Karris is going with Gavin to seer Island. That's where he wants to put all the Tyrean refugees. 

Ch 9 pg 31 kip

Kip talks to iron fist about how it's hard to make good chouces in the heat of battle.  Good choices come from trauning and experience.  Kip has neither of those things, so it's nit a huge surprise that he.wouldn't see killing the king as a strategic mistake.

Ch 10 pg 34 gunner

This is one of the guys on the pirate ship that Gavin sank.  He's floating in the ocean and being circled by sharks.

He kills a sharp and makes it to a row boat.  He's gonna get vengeance against Gavin.

Ch 15 pg 53 LIV!!!!!

Liv hangs out with the color prince.  He's more luxin than man now. He's working on revitalizing Tyrea. Also, he's not planning any specific military action.  He's gonna send his people out into the world to subtly inspire revolution. He is also putting out word that all magic users are welcome at his Cromeria. None of the pay to play bulkshit that encourages the corruption. He loses his shit a but when Liv calls one of his plans diabolical. I'm leaning in the direction that he is insane but does a relatively good job of hiding it.

Ch 16 pg 60

Kip has to fight other people training to become black guards. He does ok.

Ch 17 pg 68 (so close)

Kip likes the girl that's been assigned to be his partner.  He breaks a bully's arm.

Ch 22 pg 90

Kip goes to engineers class and there's maths and kip doesnt know maths.  They do a thing where they weigh 1 square foot boxes of luxin to show how much each weighs.  Then they are given a math problem the idea is you're supposed to do the math and then diagram how you would replace a weight with blue luxin.  Instead of doing that he makes a diagram where he has reassembled the broken parts of the weight with blue luxin.  He gets an A on tue assignment cause it would work, but now another teacher hates him.

Ch 23 pg 96

Ironfist talks to the white about how he r husband was an awesome poker player.  He never payed against gavins father cause he had soo much money the stakes of any bet was basically meaning less.  But then she says gavins dad wante to be the white.  The intimation is that the whites husband worked the system (That is supposed to be random) to make her the white.

Ch 24 pg 100

In this chapter they explain color magic more in a classroom setting. The teacher makes it clear she hates Kip and is real religious about color magic.  Anybody that tries to do anything different,  is sinning before God.

Ch 25 pg 104

Kip talks to his partner as they walk away from class.  Turns out she's colorblind.  Not sure how she's able to do color magic that way.  I'm sure they'll explain. The next thing is she tells him not to trust all the people offering to sponsor him.  He's Hella confused. He's the prisms son.  Why would he need a sponsor?  Because his grandfather disavowed him.  He's all alone here at the chromeria. 

Personal note, if i were him, id go back to tyrea and join the rebel army.

Ch 26 pg 106

The head of seerer Island and she tells him he's dying and he shouldn't be dieing yet.

Ch 27 pg 107

The physical training to be a black guard is hard.  Today Kip was the last in everything and he threw up.  Iron fist tells him he can quit if he wants. His grandfather has ordered iron fist to throw him out.  Ironfist is ignoring that direct order.  Kip is gonna stay.  It's gonna be torture, but he's gonna stay.

Also he's punished for swearing and has to run 5 laps and his partner has to run with him.  

Ch 28 pg 110

Kips partner gets a lecture about the difference between boys and girls.

Ch 29 pg 116

Kip's grandfather might just be the worst person in the kingdom.  He's decided to torture kip by beating him at cards and then kicks one of his "friends" out of the chromeria. 

Ch 30 pg 120

Gavin isn't making any friends on seer Island. He's forcing them to take in 50,000 refugees and this will completely destroy their way of life.  But they've gotta go somewhere. 

Ch 31 pg 122

Kip goes to the library and reads some books about cards.  It kinda helps in the he can see why he's losing now.  This time the punishment for losing is that he can't eat tomorrow and he can't go to the practicum, which is kinda a study hall for drafting.  So the kip torture is going well.

Ch 32 pg 126 Teia

Kip's partner has a chapter.  She's a slave so her life is worse and her master makes her do worse things than normal chromeria students.  In this particular case she has to steal something from a man.  She has a special secret color called paryl.   She uses it to see where metal objects people are holding are so she can steal them.  She steals a snuff box from a man.  But paryl is also good for murder I guess as she sees a man murder a woman with it.

Ch 33 pg 134 kip

The blue talks and kip tries to listen.  This man is his target after all.  After the talk, which was too quiet to hear most of, kip and his classmates tall about light bringer.

Ch 34 pg 139 Liv

Liv has a tutor.  Today he just takes her to a dress maker.  At the dress maker, Liv takes a bath and has an existential crisis. I think this guy is the guy that stabbed Gavin with the blinding knife 🔪 

Ch 35 pg 145 kip

He is spending every hour he possibly can to learn about the Blue and how he might take him down.  I wonder if he's still trying to beat his grandfather at cards.

Its black guard fight day.  Kip picks a fight with a boy that was likely getting kucked out of the black guard.  But not a real sanctioned fight.  A sudden headbutt to the nose kinda fight.  They both go to the medic.  So he doesnt have to fight today. 

Ch 36 pg 153 Teia

Teia wins her fight.  Ironfist shows up and tells them that things are about to get real hard.  The Black guard needs new recruits fast.  So training will be accelerated and some at the end of this year the top 14 join the Black guard.  Twice as many as usual. 

Ch 37 pg 156 gavin

The seer tells Gavin that the real Gavin has escaped the blue prison and intimates that it's not a coincidence that the escape happened and he lost the ability to lose blue.  I'm sure Greg will know what caused what.  Also if he has lost blue that means he's not really prism and that means there is no prism and that's Bad.   And as theyre talking about how bad, it starts to snow.  But it's not normal snow.  It's blue luxin.  

Ch 38 pg 166 liv

The rebels don't just have political differences with the chromeria and the rest of society that lets them call the shots.  They also have religious differences.  They dont believe in the one god Orlam.  They believe in the many gods.  Each color has its own god.  When you draft a color and you feel different, that is that color's god working its magic in you.  

liv's tutor is telling her all this and teaching her his idea of freedom and why its better than being in the chromeria and their (compared to.the society the rebels are trying build) conservative values.

ch 39 pg 168 ( nice) kip

Kip and his partner are getting extra secret training.

11 22 63 ch 9 through 13

 Ch 9 pg 223

Jake comes back to the present and he and Al talk about it.  The picture of Harry on the wall is gone.  Replaced by some guy Al says he doesn't know.  Jake needs sleep, so he gives Al a ride home and says he'll be back to get him and do the time travel at 7 pm.  

Jake's cat wakes him up at 4:45 and he does some googling.  He shells out some cash to get access to the online newspaper archives.  There's an article in the derry paper a out the murder.  He keeps googling and finds one of Harry's sisters. Turns out he died in Vietnam. Fun bit, one of her other brothers was a tech wiz.  Guessing it's cause he found Jake's cell phone.

Jake goes to pick up Al.  He's dead.  So Jake is on his own to try to save JFK.

Ch 10 pg 245

Jake does soooooo good the second time around.  He kills Harry's dad when he's visiting his parents graves and doesn't leave a trace.

He makes $3,000 betting on the world series. 

Ch 11 269 (nice)

Jake feels conflicted on killing Harry's dad.  So he decides he's also gonna do Al's thing to make himself feel better.  With a bit of luck, or maybe divine intervention,  he sees that the hunter that accidentally shot the girl plays cribbage. So instead of blocking the road and faking a heart attack to stop things from happening,  he pays the guy to teach him cribbage all day.

Thing i learned today, Methodists don't gamble.

Ch 12 pg 279

Jake goes to Florida, makes some money gambling and gets the hell out cause he's got a bad feeling.  He makes his way to New Orleans and when he makes a call back to Florida finds out his apartment had been burned down.  He feels real good about following that feeling.  He makes his way to Dallas and starts to monitor Lee Harvey Oswald's family. He won't be there for a couple more years.  He doesn't like Dallas and decides to move to a small town a ways out, but close enough he can easily get to dallas and spy on Oswald's family. 

We're left with a bit of a cliffhanger as he wins a bet in Dallas and Something bad is going to happen on the ride home. 

Ch 13 pg 317

Jake enjoys his small town life and little trips to Dallas.  He's a substitute teacher and he writes his murder novel and he directs the school play.  People like him.  Not sure why.  I don't.  

Big decision,  they want him to teach full time next year.  School is out in June.  Oswald doesn't make it back to America til June 13th.  So he takes the job.

Also, the librarian, who has been important in all this, has what we are lead to believe is a fatal disease and so a new librarian is coming in and she's a buxom beauty so Jake is gonna fall in love with her probably. 

The librarian dies, Jake and the new librarian plan her memorial together.  They don't fall in love.

They go to the first football game together and there is a bit of a flirty energy.  Seems like Stephen is creating a real will they won't they kinda thing.  During the halftime show Jake has a bit of a flashback to the yellow card man.

11 22 63 ch 1 - 8

 Preamble pg 1

Narrator teaches a GED class.  He is divorced and his ex thinks he's not in touch with his emotions. His life changed when he read a story written by a janitor about the time his dad killed most of his family.  Narrator cried when he read that story and he gave the janitor an a plus.

Ch 1 pg 9

To celebrate the janitor getting his GED narrator takes him to a diner called Al's.  Narrator is one of the few regular customers at Al's.  The guy that runs the place is named Al.  There's a time machine or something in his pantry and narrator is going through it. 

Ch 2 pg 29

Narrator goes back in time.  He has some real good rootbeer and gets to wander around town a bit.  

He comes back and Al explains things a bit.  First, when you go back you always go back to the same day and time.  Also, you're always gone for two minutes.  The reason his burgers are so cheap is he buys the meat in the past.  

I wonder where he got the old money to start with.

He has a big plan that he needs narrator's help with.  But the cancer is wearing him.out too much to explain.  He says he's gonna go home,  pop an oxygen and rest and Narrator should come over at 9:30 to talk it over. 

Narrator doesnt really love this idea.  He doesnt wanna waste years of his life in the past

Ch 3 pg 53

Al wants Narrator wants to go back in time and save JFK.  He thought he could do it himself, but then before he got the chance, he was diagnosed with cancer.  At one point he saw Lee Harvey Oswald on the street and could have killed him, but didn't.  His plan now is to try to catch Lee at what is thought to be a previous assassination attempt.   But he can't make it there again. He might only have months to live.  But narrator could try and he'd be back in two minutes. And if Al's impending death wasn't enough of a ticking clock, LL Bean has bought the land the restaurant is on and is kicking Al out so they can build a store there.

Al knows he can change the past cause he went back and stopped a girl from getting shot in a hunting accident and ended up in A wheelchairas a result.  Two things, 1 it was super hard.  Something was trying to stop him from changing the past.  2 narrator's last trip undid said saving.  Every trip back rewrites history.

Ch 4 pg 79

Narrator has a great idea.  He's gonna go back and save the janitor. He tells Al if thus works, then he'll try to save JFK.  Narrator is thinking this is a necessary task before trying to save JFK.  If Al had so much trouble stopping the girl from getting in that wheelchair,  how much harder will it be to stop 3 people from getting murdered?

Al is good with this.  They go down to the diner and Al says he'll start a pot of coffee.  It will be ready by the time narrator comes back.

Ch 5

Narrator has a fun first day in the past.  He's really saz2 all the things that were slightly different than his first visit.  he gets a haircut,  buys a suitcase,  opens a checking account,  gets a cab to the motor inn and throws all the future stuff he accidentally brought with him into a nearby pond.

Ch 6 pg 119

Narrator buys a red convertible and drives to Harry's home town of Darry.  When he gets there he hates it.  Everyone seems to be real standoffs.  Turns out that's on account of the child murders.  The bartender at the bar near Narrator's hotel gives him all the info.  So Narrator is going to do his best to avoid kids and not catch a beating for his trouble.   He has been asking around about Harry's dad.  He says he's and old army buddy name of Dunning.  Harry is informed the town is full of dunning.  Look in a phone book.

Narrator is a bit defeated by this.  How cane find Harry if can't talk to kids and his dead could be one of a long list of dunnings.  

Fate steps in.  Early in his dating career with his ex wife they went swing dancing.  Did competitions.  They mostly danced to in the mood by glen miller.  He hears this song and finds a couple of his tweens dancing to it.  They chat with narrator. They know one of Harry's siblings and give narrator the lowdown. 

Ch 7 pg 149

Narrator is casing Harry's dad to try and come up with a plan to stop him on Halloween night.  This ends with him following him to a grave yard and putting flowers on two graves.

Black prism ch 65 - 95

 Ch 65 pg 425

They're making battle plans. Plans that involve building giant walls out of Luxin.  Kip sneaks away.  I'm assuming to try and rescue Karris.

Ch 66 pg 429 kip

Liv catches kip trying to sneak out of town and shes gonna go with him.  Theres a kindly fan of the king recruiting people to the army and he tells them where to go.

Ch 67 pg 436 karris

Karris is having her period and its been 5 months since her last so the pain of the experience is making up for lost time.

She puts on a fancy dress and reminices about her youth.  Big reveal here is that Dazen took her virginity.

Also after Dazen rebelled and she was engaged to Gavin, he took advantage of her one night when she got drunk at a party.

She is taken to the king and his right hand man js her long lost brother Koios.

Ch 68 pg 449 gavin

Gavin is trying to build his wall.  He's got five days til the army gets here.  He got some of the foundation built today.  He is not optimistic about his ability to get the wall built.  In a surprise turn of events a bunch of super powerful drafters have shown up to help.  These are a lot of people that fought on both sides of the war and knew Gavin and Dazen super well.  Gavin is real worried that somebody here is gonna figure out that Gavin is really Dazen.

Ch 69 (nice) pg 456 

Iron fist is gonna go get kip and Liv. Gavin is building the wall.  He's gonna be fine.  He's got Aheyyad on his side.  He's the best.

Ch 70 pg 463 kip

It took them two days to get to the army.  Liz goes to check out the center of camp.  Kip goes to get food and he mistakenly shows the people with food he's got a lot of money.  They try to rob him.  At first it doesnt go well.  He stabs a guy with a liquor bottle and throws him into the fire.  Then a bunch of other guys show up and beat kip up real good.  They are gonna throw him into the fire.  So he uses hus superpowers to kill him.  This attracts the attention of an army drafter and he says the greatest thing.  "You can kill whoever you want , but we prefer you not be so indiscriminate.". Then like an idiot he gives the guy his real name.  I predict that will come back to bite him.

Ch 71 pg 476 Liv

Liv finds Karris.  She hears about a fat boy killing a bunch of people with Fire.  She knows kip is somehow involved, but it.couldn't have been him cause he can only do green and blue.

Ch 72 Gavin

The wall is pretty much done.  But the army is here so the pretty much part is a big problem.  Gavin still has to build the gate.  Real dramatically, as he's almost done a cannon ball goes right through and destroys the gate.

Ch 73 pg 492 

Fight happen and it go bad for gavins side.  But as theyre being overwhelmed via the big hole where the gate should be, gavin digs deep and shoots magic that not only kills everyone in the gate hole, but also burns their bodies to nothingness.  The only man left is the king.  He appears to be invincible as tons of people are shoots guns at him but nobody hits.  Gavin does the next right thing and passes out.

Ch 75 pg 508

Gavin wakes up and his mom is there.  She's gonna do her freeing.  She sends for the general. The general tells Gavin they should flee.  Gavin says he wants to kill the king.

Ch  76 pg 515

Kip is tied up and ends up in the same wagon as karris.

Gavin kills the former governor for trying to flee when orders where no ship leaves the harbor in case they need all ships to evacuate the city .

Ch 78 pg 523

Apprearantly the freeing Is basically you show up and the prism stabs you to death and I guess the theory is you go to heaven.

This chapter flips back and forth between Gavin doing this and the king (or karris's brother.  I was a bit confused as to who was talking.) Giving a speech about how the freeing is a lie.

Also the last guy Gavin puts down has figured out that he's really Dazen.

Ch 79 pg 533

Gavin kills his mom after she drafts one last time.  Theres fun stuff in here abput the.people they killed to keep his secret.

he leaves the room and theres a ton of drafters outside and theyre all "we need.to talk."

Ch 80 pg 540

Kip and karris have these light blocking goggles glued to their faces so they can't see, but they can hear Karris's brother giving his speech.  Then theyre moved and they can hear the king giving his speech.  Then there's cannon fire from the city.  Karris seemed to know this was coming and she blames ironfist.  In the ensuing chaos, kip knocks out one of his goggle lenses and ends up with a musket and now hes part of a group of soldiers storming the city.

Ch 81 pg 545

All the drafters want to help Gavin fight rather than contuing the freeing.  Ther2s a beautiful lady that knows he's Dazen.

Ch 82 pg 549

Kip is in the shit.  All around him people are fighting and dying.  He takes advantage of the chaos and first heads toward the king to kill him.  But then he sees Karris and decides to go help her.  He's tempted by the box with the white luxin dagger and trying to kill Karris's brother. But in the end helping Karrris is the best choice.

Ch 83 pg 554

The boy did it.  He killed a ton of dudes and made it to Karris and melted the black goggles and now the two of them can draft.  They're gonna kill the king together.  I really hope it turns out she's his mom.  What a wonderful mother and son bonding experience killing a king is.

Ch 84 pg 561

karris's sister lord omnicrome has liv tied up and is trying to convince her to join his side.  His main argument is two fold.  

The first is that the chromeria claim that drafters that break the halo go insane is false.  He calls it hatching from the egg.  You become a lot more powerful after you break the halo.  Some drafters can't handle that extra power and do go insane.  But killing anyone that breaks the halo is wrong.  This isn't easy to swallow as it's a pretty big cornerstone of society and if it is true it means everyone has been supporting murder for centuries. 

The second is that the Cromeria sucks.  This Liv immediately agrees with.  

At that moment she sees kip and karris charging up the hill trying to kill the king.  Liv tells lord omnicrome that she will join him if she saves kip and karris.

Ch 85 pg 569

Kip and karris are doing just fine.  Karris is good at staying under the radar and kip is the next prism so he's Killin left and right with his raw power.

Gavin is trying to organize the boats to get everyone out of the city.  Hes set up rules that should allow everyone to escape. But people arent following the rules and he killed the guy that he put in charge of the docks cause he wasletting his mates break the rules.

he sees karris's brother with his cool gun.  He theorizes that lord omnicrome is trying to get rhe king killed.

Ch 87 pg 580

The plan works, Kip kills the king.

Ch 89 Pg  592

Lord omnicrome and his army are gonna destroy everything in their path.  That includes Kip and Karris.  But then super heros come and save them so they can get out.  As they get to the docks karris realizes that Dazen is Gavin.

Ch 91 pg 602

People are trying to kill ironfist and kip saves him.  An assasin with the white luxin dagger is trying to kill Gavin and kip saves him too.  Also, kip ends up with the dagger.  Good chapter for kip.

Ch 92 pg 610 the real Gavin

Damn, the boy did it.  He blew a hole in the wall.  FREEDOM!!!!! I wonder if the dead man he keeps talking about is Karris's brother. 

Ch 93 pg 615

Gavin and kip have a great father son moment. Then he finds a note from his mom telling him that Gavin raped her and ruined her life and that kip should use the dagger to kill Gavin.

Ch 94 pg 619

Gavin escapes from the blue prison into a green prison.  At that moment he's sure there's seven prisons.  It took him 16 years to escape the first prison.  He is not optimistic about his odds of escaping the rest.

Ch 95 pg 621

Gavin and the general have a nice talk. Gavin realizes he can't draft blue.  He's dying.

Ch 22

SOOOO much drama in this chapter.  Fred goes back to his room and like ALL his people are here and they all scream at him for missing his lesons and they beat him for hiring this new page without asking them about it.  They have all heard the stories about Bee's horrible behavior and its gonna be real bad when they tell his parents.  

He waits til late and then gets Bee and goes to the chapel.  They use the key to get in.  But Michelangelo is there.  He throws a bucket and hits Raphael in the head.  Chaos ensues and Bee and Fred go back trough the cabinet to the future.  The first thing Fred sees in the future is an encyclopedia open to am entry on him saying his lifetime was 1500 to 1511.  That can't be good.

Ch 24 pg 197

Bee comes out of the closet and shes in herbs office but its wierd.  Its not dusty.  She goes downstairs and theres a man and a woman she doesnt know.  Shhe runs back upstairs and frantically tries to make phonecalls.  She finds Fred and she reads him  his encyclopedia entry.  It says he disappeared in 1511 and Michelangelo was the prime suspect and he fled to Florence and died a couple weeks later.  Also there's a 1942 calendar on the wall.

Ch 28 pg 233

Turns out Bee isn't in a prison cell, she's just in one of the dorm rooms for the Swiss guard. There's someone else in there with her.  It's Raphael. She has the key so she takes him to the sistine chapel. 

Ch 29 pg 240

Fred gets Michelangelo to return to Rome by explaining how famous he's going to be if he finishes painting the Sistine chapel. 

Ch 30 pg 248

Raphael draws Bee and signs it.  She's about to go through the wardrobe when Fred shows up.  She gives him the drawing to put in a chest so Herb can find it in the future. 

Ch 31

The Pope and the architect dismantle the cabinet cause its for spies and the pope doesnt wanna take any chances.  A swiss guard named Franz Giovanni comes along and with his carpentry background he agrees to turn the dismantled pieces of the cabinet into a trunk with a hidden compartment for Raphael's sketch of Bee.  Juno comes back.  Also the Swiss guard offers to become Fred's body guard since his time as a swiss guard is almost up.  Also somehow chocolate shows up.

Ch 32 Pg 267

They all live happily ever after. 

Divinci's cat parts 1 and 2

 Ch 1 

Frederico is a child prisoner of the pope to ensure his family's support.  He doesn't have any friends.  He does get the perk of interacting with some of the greatest artists of the time like Michelangelo and Raphael.  He gets a little excited when he realizes Michelangelo is spying on Raphael. But gossip isn't worth anything if you don't have a friend to tell.  He finds a kitten and he's super psyched. The kitten goes into a wardrobe and disappears.  Moments later there's a cat and Frederico decides that this is kitten all grown up.  The cat heads to the wardrobe and Frederico is like, no no that's way too dangerous. 

Ch 2

Frederico gets a collar for his cat.  He writes a short letter to his mom.  He inspects the wardrobe.  It's got mirrors and a ball full of water.  Federico thinks it's all about reflecting light.  But why would you go to the trouble when you can light a candle.  As he's inspecting,  cat gets away and goes into the wardrobe. A man comes out of the cabinet holding the cat and says nice to meet you 

Ch 3 pg 21

The man says he's herb from new jersey and the cat is named Juno. Frederico shows herb around and one of the paintings he sees is og herb.  Herb gives Frederico some chocolate.  With peanuts in it.  He makes Frederico a deal. If Frederico can get his hands on some of Michelangelo or Raphael's sketches, herb will buy them from him for chocolate.  To Fernando this is a no Brainer.  Trade what's essentially garbage for the most delicious food he's ever tasted.

Ch 4 pg 30

We find out that Juno is Divinci's cat. Frederico sneaks into the pope's office to steal a couple sketches to trade to herbert.  When he returns the mood is somber.   Some one has stolen all of Raphael's papers.

Ch 5

Herb is the stealer . But really Frederico doesn't care.  He's VERY morally flexible when chocolate is involved. Herb puts on what he thinks are fancy clothes and asks to meet Raphael. Frederico is like, hell no, that outfit sucks.  He will get herb clothes he can meet Raphael in, but it's gonna cost him ALot of chocolate. 

Ch 6 pg 46

Frederico takes Juno to see Raphael. He says sorry about the drawings that were stolen.  Raphael isn't bothered by it.   He'll just draw more.  The General idea seems to be that paintings are valuable and sketches are not.  This is reinforced when Frederico goes to see Michelangelo painting the sistene chappel and as soon as he has no further use for his sketches he tears them up into bits.  Frederico wishes he had those sketches to trade for chocolate. 

Ch 7 pg 54

Herbert comes with clothes that are now worthy of Frederico's standards.  He has a beard and Grey hair.  It's been 12 years for him.  He leaves to go see Raphael. He has a drawing that he needs to have signed so he can sell it for TONS of money.  Frederico tells him it's not safe.  Frederico follows herbert and there's a girl with the plague or something and a Swiss guard spots Frederico and drags him back to the pope abd herbert takes the girl back through the cabinet to the present cause he's all like, this girl ain't dying on my watch.

Ch 8 pg 62

The guy with all the keys is supping with the pope.  Frederico volunteers to serve them dinner rather than the normal servers.  He way overserves them wine and they both end up passing out.  He takes the keys so he can show herbert the sistene chappel. Not only doesn't herbert come, but Juno goes through the cabinet back to the future. 

Part 2

Ch 9 pg 72

Theres a girl named bee.  She and her.mom are staying at an old house where someone once found a drawing by Michelangelo that they sold for 6.5 mil.  Be catches a cat that caught a bird.  She takes the.cat to tue neighbors house and a scary old lady calls the cat Juno.

Crazy Italian lady is Herb's daughter.  So we're way in the future from where we used to be.  Crazy Italian lady has a drawing that looks JUST like bee that she claims was drawn by Raphael. 

Ch 11 pg 90

Bee is home alone cause mom is at her talk and moo is still on the train.  She is staring at the woman from Italy house and she swears she sees lights flicker in the morse code SOS pattern.  She calls mom and moo hoping one of them will give her permission to go over there.  They both say to stay put.

Ch 12 pg 98

Hyperion 6

 Pg 411

They're getting close to the time tubes.

They're gonna spend the night in some spooky place before they head in.  A couple fun things happen here.  They see true war fighting happening out in space.   It's a ways out in the solar system. So not really a danger to them.  But fun to watch like they're really distant fireworks if you ignore the whole people dying part.

Pg 421 

The consul's tale: remembering siri

The consul says before he can tell his story he's gotta tell someone else's story. So he puls put his zune and everyone listens to this other story about this other guy.

the.other guy is at a funeral.  Siri is dead.  He somehow has children that are older than him.

This other guy is a space cowboy.  He's got a contract on a ship that takes stuff to and from the new Maui colony.  When he was 19 he fell in love with siri when she was 16.  Relativity is hell  on a relationship. The next time he comes back he's 19 and she's 26. They talk to dolphins.

They go to the festival to party and the guys friend from the ship is there and there's some separatists that hate the shippers and his friend is killed by siri's cousin and our guy kills a bunch of separatists.

Pg 447

We're back at Siri's funeral.  Our guy is being encouraged to do a thing to wrap up the show.

our guy is named merin.  He 's on a fishing boat with Siri.  She's 70 years old.  She 's worried about whats going to happen to the planet when they turn on the farcaster and her pla net joins the hegemony.

He says politicians and scientists and other friends will come.  It will get ugly when the petroleum industry comes.  She's surprised they haven't moved past there being a petroleum industry.  Merin has a great line "No one gets beyond a petroleum economy.  Not when there's Petroleum."

Pg 454

Back to siri's funeral again.  The tomb is empty.  His son tells him she was cremated.  There's a secret box for him.  It has a bomb.  A bomb that Siri has given him to blow up the farcaster.  He does.

Pg 461

We're back on hyperion watching the space battle.

Consul explains that he's merin and Siri's grandson.  Merin made this recording before he went off to die fighting the hegemony. Now the consul is going to tell his story. 

The consul's story is a hoot.  His father became a senator when pretty much the rest of the family joined the rebellion.  But really he and the consul have always been part of the Maui rebellion.   The consul, due to his dad's influence,  gets a sweet job being consul on far out worlds.  I don't remember the details,  but he does stuff thats impressive to the point where he can pretty much go wherever.   So he goes to some world where he can communicate with the ousters.  He finds out fun things like the technocore destroyed earth with a black hole.  They come up with a scheme to release the shrike, which will somehow be good for the ousters. It doesn't go great for the ousters cause they show up to do the thing and the consul kills them and turns on the machine to free the shrike.  I guess the idea is the shrike will kill the technocore.  Idk.

So now we're in the present and the group is discussing how to Best kill this traitor. They decide not to.

Pg 476 epilogue

They all hold hands and sing "We're off to see the Wizard" as they make their way to the Shrike.

The Black Prism ch 36 - 64

Gavin tells Devin that he found his bastard child. 

But it's not Devin's bastard child, it's Gavin's bastard child. Because Gavin is Devin.  In their final battle Devin assumed Gavin's identity.  Awesome. 

He runs into the white.  She tells him he's late for class.  He asks about the girl from Kip's village. She is the daughter of Devin's old General.  Makes it even more exciting now that Gavin is Devin.

Ch 37 pg 218 Kip

Kip goes to testing.  The guy doing the testing punches him.  Then some other guy comes in and throws that guy out.  Then a girl comes in and they do a bunch of tests to see how well he can see colors.  He is perfect.  He's a super color seer.  Then iron fist comes and and is all WTF, I told the other guy to put him through the thresher.  The other testers are like, fuck no and Iron fist is like fuck yes, this kid is leaving with the prism tomorrow amd needs to be put through the thresher now.  Everyone else is like who is this kid that makes him so special.  Kip blurts out that he's gavins son.  Everyone is now amenable to the thrasher.

Ch 38 pg 229 Liv

Liv and her class are walking up a steep staircase to class at the top of a tower.  Gavin is there.  Shenhannegans ensue and the punchline is that Gavin ( who's really Devin and was super good friends with her father ) recognizes her as a bichrome and this instantly makes her life infinitely better.  

Ch 39 pg 238 Gavin

Gavin is a little crazy.  Being locked up all alone for a long time will do that to you.  But learning of his son has given him hope.  He is able to make a blue blade and cut off his red hair and somehow this is going to help him escape.

Ch 40 pg 242 Devin (he calls himself Gavin but he's really Devin.)

Gavin meets with the color guard and telks them they have to give the city of garrison back to the tyreans or their new king is going to take it by force.  They vote to send an investigatory group there.  It will take two months to go, investigate and return.

Ch 41 pg 255 liv

Liv got a loan so she could pay back the people that were paying for her color magic training. The lady is not pleased by this.  She says either Liv spies on the the prism or she's gonna ruin liv's life.  Liv gives her the money and tells her to fuck off or die.  The bad lady leaves.  Shortly after there's a knock on her door.  Luv us gonna kill this chick.  But it's not her.  It's the prisms slave with a message, come at your earliest convenience. She doesn't know what to wear.  So she says fuck it and just goes in her work clothes.

Ch 42 pg 263 Karris

She and the general (who everyone thinks is dead cause everyone else in their village is) are trying to go after the Tyrean Army. A scout spots them and they try to take them down before they can get word back.  But it's a trap abd karis us captured.  The General might have hit her over the head.

Ch 43 pg 269 kip

He goes through the thrasher.  It sucks.  You're basically tortured until you pull the rope.  Only one person ever didn't pull the rope.  Dazen.  The real point of the thresher is that while you're being tortured your inner oovra comes out in your fear and from that they can see what colors you can draft.

Ch 44 pg 281 Liv

Liv goes to see Devin (who everyone thinks is Gavin) and he asks her to tutor Kip and keep him humble.  Then he f

Uses color magic to fly them down to the courtyard near the testing chamber.  He blurts out some orders and goes inside.

Ch 45 pg 290 gavin

Gavin yells at the girl that put the rope back in in Kip's hand.  Kip tested positive for blue and green and inconclusive for superviolet.  Gavin did something to the testing stone with ultraviolet.  Not sure exactly what. Gavin brings in Liv and she take Kip to his room.

Ch 46 pg 298 kip

Liv tries to take kip to his room.  She realizes she has no idea where that would be so they go to her room instead.  He tells her about the town and he thinks her dad is dead.  She doesn't believe it.  Her dad is a badass, if Kip got out, he got out too. She's right, but Kip doesn't know this.

Ch 47 pg 306 Dazen

His dad doesn't know he's not Gavin.  You'd expect his dad might want to talk about his bastard grand son Kip.  Nope, not interested at all.  His main priority is to see that he got the white luxin dagger.  He assumes this must be a super important thing his dad and Gavin used to talk about.  EVERYTHING depends on the white luxin dagger.  A dagger thay Dazen didn't know existed until right now and so he lies to his dad and says he just didn't think that the random box the king claimed Kip's mother stole from him would house a white luxin dagger.

Dazen"s dad over extended himself in the prism war and now has to live in complete darkness.

So Dazen has his marching orders.  Go to garrison,  do whatever you want with the town, but kill the king and get the white luxin dagger.  Then when he brings it back to his dad, he'll find him a good woman to settle down with.

Ch 48 pg 314

Liv's best friend finds her and tells her she's being thrown out of hogwarts.  Her supporter lost money or whatever.  It's all bs.  This was the doing of Liv's old supporter who's just the worst.  She says she's bought her feiends contract and she's gonna end up being a whore on a galley until she's likely killed as that's what usually happens to women on galleys. So Liv says she'll spy on the prism for her.

Ch 49 pg 319 Dazen

Dazen's mother knows he's Dazen.  She has helped him to be Gavin.  He's shared most things with her as she's the only one that he can be honest with.  But he told her Gavin was dead.  So he doesn't tell her everything. 

Ch 50 pg 326 kip

Kip wakes up on liv's floor.  There's a lady that tries to.kill him.  It doesn't work out.  It especially doesn't work out when Liv shows up and does something so cool I'm going to explain it.  She sends a line of ultraviolet luxin to the lady's face.  Then she sends a bead of yellow luxin along that string and it explodes in her face.  Using her newly authorized yellow powers, she can make gun happen whenever she wants.  Physical violence is cool.  I could totally see that happening in slow motion on the TV show on HBO that my cousin should work on.

Ch 51 pg 332

Gavin (don't forget he's really Dazen) is talking to the white.  He's going to Garrison. She speaks to the impractical nature of this idea cause it's gonna take so long.  Then she kinda tricks him into telling her his flying speedboat trick.  Knowing it'll be fast, she's no longer arguing against this.  They also talk about Kip's trst and what Gavin did and I still don't understand. But if in the end there's fatherly love involved, it'll all be worth it.

Ch 52 pg 337 Karris 

Karris and the king talk.  He wants to marry her.

Ch 53 pg 344

Kip tells Gavin about the murder attempt.  Gavin says it's time to get the fuck out of dodge. Liv is coming with. 

Ch 54 pg 349

Gavin is trying to escape.  He's woven something out of his own hair and he channeled enough blue to cut his chest open and shove the woven hair thing in.  Somehow this will result in either escape or death.

Ch 55 pg 351

They're packing up to leave.  

Ironfist nakes Kip also carry Liv's pack.  Its more complicated for girls.

Ironfist is famous so it's a bit awkward for kip walking through the city cause people keep slowing down to stare at him.  But they get to the docks and Gavin is there and people don't slow down to stare at him, they stop completely. Tons of people trying to get close enough to touch his robes as he walks by.

Corvan Danavis knows that Gavin is really Dazen.  So really this is a tearful reunion of old friends.  But they can't show that in public.  So they hatch a scheme that Corvan will be in charge of the Army to defend the town against the king's assault.  But they're both gonna be real begrudging about the whole thing to keep up appearances that this is a marriage of convenience at a desperate time.  Corvan also tells Dazen about Karris being captured and while Dazen is a but worried, he's confident she'll be ok in the end.  Dazen doesn't tell Corvan about Liv or Kip, but he sends them down to the room they're in.

Ch 61 pg 393

Liv is trying to teach Kip more theory. This whole thing is Hella awkward. If Kip could do me a favor and try to be friends with Liv and focus on the work and forget about his childhood crush I'd really appreciate it.  But I feel that about basically every boy in every fantasy novel.  I'm gonna have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. 

Liv's dad shows up and somehow it makes things even more awkward.

Gavin gets kip, says they're going for a walk.  He says he doesn't eat until he's made a green luxin ball.  There's a fun thing where a wagon has broken down and they think they're gonna have to shut down that gate for the day, which is gonna suck.  Gavin saves the day.  Everyone loves him.  ❤️ 

Kip doesn't get to eat yet cause he hasn't created a green ball yet.

Kip is having a heck of a time creating a green ball.  Gavin tells him the key word for green is wild.  The governor shows up and starts to complain at Gavin.  Kip has a lot of negative thoughts and feelings and I don't know how but that brings out his wild side and he creates the ball.  Then he goes nuts and throws the ball at the governor. It's far more forceful than he expected. One of the governor's guards comes after him with a sword.  A blue luxin wall appears and kip is saved.  The governor demands satisfaction and Gavin demands that he fuck right off.  Iron fist was the one that made the blue wall that saved him.
