Hax really can't handle being a bad guy, can he? The conversation back and forth about the priests I really appreciated. One of the things I like so much about this book is that we finally have a fantasy told from the perspective of the regular people of the society, without endless "royals" bureaucracy which is just not my cup of tea. So, I really enjoy the look at the priests from a very realistic and relatable view.
That bugged me a lot about so many fantasy stories growing up - they were all from the perspective of the nobles, with a few notable exceptions. Don't get me wrong, though. There will be more nobles in the story as it unfolds, but most of them aren't very "royal"
He talks a big game, but deep, deep (very deep) down, he wants to be a good guy. There's a little bit of that in evidence in his and Pax's back story (Just a Job).
The docks feel alive in this chapter, not just busy but dangerous in that slow, suffocating way crowds become when belief turns militant.
Thank you! That's exactly the feeling I was going for with this.
