Playing The Grey Ghost from the East Coast in Northern Inferno, the ASROC on the DDG fires at the sub, but then just flies in circles over top of it without ever dropping the torpedo. How to fix?
Hey there Grisha! I am totally enjoying spending time in the Grishaverse. How about you? I have long awaited to read this series, let alone this novel. Then the show came out and the pressure was on to read! While we just got to the Os Akra, I want to explore and learn more. Especially this Darkling person… hmm. I am devoted to learning more.
I want to thank everyone for waiting on this discussion. A few roadblocks got in the way.
So, this read is called a “Runner up Read,” what that means is during one of the voting months it came in second place. With a random selection it won! Now here we are. Wheel of books video.
If you are someone who reads ahead, go to the marginalia. But BEWARE! Spoilers, can’t say I didn’t warn you. ;)
While this post is a day late, the discussions will be run each Wednesday. So, I will see you all next Wednesday to discuss chapters 6 through 12!
In summary…
The prologue begins with two children, Alina Starkov and Malden Oretsev, at the Duke’s home. They were brought there to learn to read, write, and trade. Right away, it is pointed out that the girl (Alina) was different. Alina and Mail grew close as they lived and learned together. Finally, Grisha Examiners came by sleigh rather than a coach. The examiners were wearing a ‘kefta,’ each one in a different color. As the Grisha enter the home, the two children watch from above (eavesdropping). The Grisha ask what the children are like and Ana Kuya (the Duke’s housekeeper) brushes off the question. There is clearly a differing of sides as Ana states the First Army keeps the country safe, but the Grisha work with The King’s Army, keeping everyone safe. The Grisha begin testing the two children to see if they are Grisha as well.
The two orphans that we learned of in the prologue are now in the army together. Alina is a mapmaker who is still scrawny and Mal is a tracker who has grown handsome and popular. Alina and Mal’s regiment are preparing to cross into the Shadow Fold (The Unsea). We learn that the Shadow Fold was created hundreds of years ago by the Black Heretic, a Darkling. The fold is terrible as it is crippling Ravka and separating the rest of the country from port cities. The entire area is infested by volcra (monsters with wings that have an appetite for people).
As they are traveling to the Fold, the regiment is attacked by

Are you a RoR developer and looking for a side project?
Edit: Ruby On Rails - I ruined the headline.
Have a look at r/diaspora a long running distributed network. Fully relies on rubyonrails- but lacks new devs.

Anyone know why that stupid loreseeker wizard wont tell.me about the Forsaken yet? Been a solid 30 days of in game time and he keeps telling me he's still working. Am I missing something? I just accidentally found out about grandpa's tower from raiding the Golden Hand library for Lost in a Good Book and I am worried I screwed up the Where is Amarisa quest.
Edit: Thanks for the replies. Guess I will try back later. Till then I guess I'll just sit in the corner on my massive pile of fire salts and cry salty tears.
