#get the gasoline and matches ready I am have a bonfire and Waverider shall be our fuel

[xxbrightshadowxx]

It’s been out over a week and half since I read the finale amulet book and I’ve been thinking nonstop about Waverider and I am still mad.

*deep inhale*

Sigh.

I consider myself to look for the best in things. I told myself that since Supernova was very, very bad, Waverider couldn’t possibly be worse?

Then page 25 happened and all of my hopes went so far that they in the burning ashes of hell. And if you don’t know what page I’m talking about, I’m taking about the part where Trellis tells Gablian that he is fucking king.

I’m sorry, the fuck?

Let me tell you a little fun fact, Escape from Lucien is my favorite amulet book in the series. Now I rated that book 5.1 on my rating list, and that’s quite low for me. So why was that my favorite book? Because of the scene where Max tells Trellis he was the true king, Trellis saving his people from their ship exploding, and the scene where Riva realizes the trees were talking about Trellis.

Those scene were my everything, I thought about that book for three weeks straight, no other thought registered in my head, zero, zip, nada. Nothing but those scenes. Was I biased because I loved Trellis and thought that the elf king plot-line in a series that went off the rails so quickly? Yes. However, that book solidified the excitement younger me had to see Trellis take back the throne and save his people and become a proper ruler. The set-up had me excited and the description the Amazon summary didn’t help calm down the flames of my passion at all.

Then I fucking read Waverider.

First of all, Gablian would not be a good king. I’m sorry but the assassin guy? The guy that stole people’s memories? The guy that chooses violence and aggression over anything else? Really? Thats the best candidate for being the new king? Really? The guy’s moral compass is a fucking roulette wheel! He made one reference to being king in the second book and it was made to be a treating, villainous way!

Why?! Just why, and with Trellis right there?! Are you kidding me?! Trellis being king has been set up for such a long time. Like the idea of Trellis not becoming king right away because he isn’t ready is an interesting concept on paper. However, the execution doesn’t flipping work. Gabilan would be a terrible leader, he’d a tyrant! He’s shown no interest in being a leader while Trellis’s ENTIRE thing was being king and saving his people. It’s like Kazu Kibuishi was handed a six course, 3 Michelin star meal and decided to flip the meal onto the ground and eat the musty crusty, rotting rat corpse instead.

You know what? I could be overreacting. I honestly could. But all I know is that if I don’t go to sleep now I am going to set Waverider on fire.
