"Thank you... Thank you..." He mouths his gratitude amidst great sorrow.
Was the this mini arc with the twins boring? Just to clarify: it wasn't a filler sequence. The Wraithclaws and the Consortium's drug trade will play a big role moving forward, and the twins will be their loyal servants as well.
Please let me know your thoughts should you have any feedback, both regarding the current events and the book in general.
Thanks for reading!
