Masego is the best.

“That doesnt sound good,” Apprentice said. “I suppose its a good thing we have you along.”

I glanced at him.

“Whats that supposed to mean?”

“Youre very good at murdering our opposition,” he said, genuinely believing he was giving me a compliment.

I occasionally forgot Masego had been raised by villains. For him that probably counted as praise.

“You dont know for sure Im going to kill someone,” I said.

“Not gonna lie, Ill be disappointed if we dont,” Archer noted.

“Ive done diplomacy before,” I continued.

“I dont think extorting the High Lords counts,” Apprentice said.

“Or looting that angel,” Hakram added.

“I think bullied might be more accurate,” Masego said.

“If you guys keep this up I can guarantee you someones getting killed,” I said.

“Thats the spirit,” Apprentice said, patting my shoulders. “Now lets move along, Catherine, were blocking the way. You really need to pay more attention to your surroundings.”

He strode into the hall before I could come up with a reply, still gaping.

He really is. Masego also seems pretty loyal to Cat despite being an immoral monster. I hope we have several side stories involving him.

u/MoralRelativity [+2] (23 hours later)

I'm sure we will. 😃 Masego is a critical part of Cat's possie.

There's a lot of unmined potential in one of his dads being an incubus.

Masego also seems pretty loyal to Cat despite being an immoral monster.

Is he immoral or amoral? I think he leans more toward the latter. He has little in the way of a conscience, but I don't think he purposely sets out to do terrible things. Just to learn... which may lead to terrible things, but hey! For Science! Knowledge!

I am now 100% on the "Archer joins the cause" train. She's a delight. Even has the sass of the fifteenth down.

u/MoralRelativity [+3] (23 hours later)

Yep. It's going to be fun to get to know her more. She still seems like a bit of an enigma at the moment. I do wonder why she's joining Cat and whether Ranger asked her to.

Cats band of adventurers needs a 4th

u/MoralRelativity [+1] (2 days later)

Only four? Honestly I'm not sure where to stop counting with Robber, Juniper, Alisha, and Ratface all having important roles. But I think you're right for the core team.

u/Keyoak [+2] (2 days later)

I'm just referring to those with names for the most part

The others tend to fade into the background of the story were told

u/MoralRelativity [+1] (2 days later)

Yeah, good point. During the last book I was thinking Robber has a chance of a name. But this book no so much.

u/JdubCT [+2] (5 days later)

Book just started. Also Robber is spreading his fame as a marauder amongst the highborn traveling to Liesse.

He's also something of a legend amongst his own people as being "extra" crazy.
