Sieur Tchaikovsky.

I have just finished The Air War (I was busy with university, so I put it off. Glad I did, I probably wouldn't have been able to graduate FROM THE FEELS).

If you'll excuse me, I need to have a little cry in the corner before I proceed with War Master's Gate. I suspect I'll have to have another cry in the corner once I'm done with that, too.

There's a part of me that also says I should throw the books at you but I'm probably not going to do that. I don't think I can throw books across the puddle.

I can't really see Sophie Turner as Seda, she doesn't have the 'I CAN be a psychopath!" vibe. My personal thought (especially after watching Ep2 of Penny Dreadful) would be Eva Green!

Eva Green was in the running. It was actually the expression on Sophie Turner's protrait that swung it. That is absolutely Seda's expression 🙂

Mr. T, you read my thoughts.I was just going to say that Sophie Turner looks perfect for Seda and exactly because of the expression on the picture. I would love to see a real "Shadows of the Apt" movie. I know it can never be as good as the books but still. Would you agree if someone offers to buy the rights?

Everyone has their price 🙂
