De kom van de stadsmuur was een steengril, de stad zelf een taart in de oven.

Wow. Mooie beschrijving.

Tja. Zo kan je het ook zeggen. 😅
Draken zijn de ultieme formule voor chaos en vernietiging. Weinig is woester of laat wredere sporen na. Draken zijn grillig, …

Ree poured tea for Usther and Smythe, then sat down with a glass of water for herself. Usther glanced at the tea uneasily. Did it look a little pale? She decided not to ask whether Ree had allowed it to steep properly this time. Her housemate was a joyless bore who didn't drink tea, so it was kind of her to make it up — even if she always made it rather unpleasant.

Oof.
Usther looked at them now, in their shining armour, with their weapons gleaming at their belt. 'Killing is never better,' she said, and meant it.

Yes
'Usther is a child,' Kylath said. 'I'm twenty-seven years old,' Usther said. 'I haven't been a child for a long time now.'
— The Beautiful Decay by Veo Corva (Page 329)
Yeah, relatively young is absolutely not the same as 'a child'...

'The Lich was hundreds of years old,' said Igneus. 'You need a necromancer of incredible skill to be able to unravel that kind of complexity of magic.' 'We have one,' said Smythe. 'After all, she did it once before with nothing more than the knowledge of what had happened to us.' Usther's eyes widened.
— The Beautiful Decay by Veo Corva (Page 327)
I love this.

Ree cleared her throat. 'The Lich is dead. But we have his grimoire.' Kylath and Igneus stared at her in shock. Arthura paused in her bare-footed pacing to consider her daughter, her expression unreadable. 'You have it?' Igneus said. 'Well, let's see it!' Ree shifted uncomfortably in her seat. She glanced at Smythe, who made no move to hand over the tome. 'No,' she said. 'The Lich meddled with things that have put the entity crypt at risk. We don't want that knowledge to spread further than it has to.'
— The Beautiful Decay by Veo Corva (Page 327)
Good. The knowledge should be kept hidden whenever possible indeed.

'They can't be destroyed,' came a whispered voice. Ellenil stirred on the ground where they lay. Though the paladins raised their weapons, Ellenil did nothing more than press a hand to their forehead. 'They're not like us,' they said tiredly. For the first time since Usther had first met them, they sounded young and scared. 'They showed me, many times. What is not an individual cannot be destroyed. To crush a mushroom only releases its spores. Destruction only makes them stronger.'
— The Beautiful Decay by Veo Corva (Page 302)
Does this mean Ellenil is no longer under the influence of the Many?

I love that Ree is even able to navigate there where she doesn't really know it. And I am glad they escaped.

There was a shout; a woman's voice, incoherent. Both paladins stiffened and then ran for the source. Usther barely hesitated to follow. They were running toward the chamber in which she'd been imprisoned. Which meant that shout had either come from Arthura or Andomerys.

Oh no. That is not a good sign... And of course I want to read on, but yeah, it is time to sleep as well... I guess I will read the rest of the book in one day then tomorrow...

So it was indeed their messing with time that brought the Many-That-Hungers... Also, apparently nobody seems to like Tarantur?

She drew herself up as tall as she could and said imperiously, 'I hate to say it, Mykol, but you've been a terrible host.' Mykol's expression was at first puzzled, then he broke into a radiant smile. 'Humour,' he said. 'Our beloved servants said humans are prone to it.'

Lol

Oh no! The Many-that-hungers is now inside Ree?! Festering rats! And Mykol and Celia... Oh terrible festering rats...
