„No
matter what came, she would never give up and never surrender.”
Shuffle
the cards
Ernie now returned as the Diamondback in
her full strength owning a full deck of card, however, it is not so easy to
keep the trumps in her right hand, for the other Dealers are not exactly always
above board and playing according to Hoyle. Not to mention Gabe, who seems to
be two minded about this Immortal deal that prolonged his life with more than a
century having no family left. It is actually really moving to see his doubts
and his closeness to the final decision of giving his life up to the Forger and
it is soo sad to watch Gabe struggling like this. ‘Cause we can’t see but the
silver lining of immortality: never-ending the beach parties, immense wealth
and a bunch of other stuff, doesn’t it sound fun? But. Here we can observe the
depression that evermore casts upon Gabe.
Although Gabe doesn’t get a fair share of
the story as much as I’d like, but at least I got the suspense waiting for him
to get tangled in the string of this immortal madness. Because I miss him. A
lot. And Ernie does too. I heart their ship because it is not perfect at all
and they attempt to figure out and realize some kind of compromise in the midst
of the treachery and stealth of their fellow card shufflers. Even with all the
wits and creativity, she got stuck in another dimension trying to get back to
Gabe before all hell breaks loose.
Jumping
on my nerves
Kot was obviously a joker in the pack and I
welcomed new characters and the best part I didn’t suspect what card he’s got
up in his sleeve. That doesn’t relate to Nuria his nuts-grasshopper-girlfriend
who Freaked. Me. Out. Ughhh…huge insects touch some soft spot of mine.
As for the long-lost father, he is
definitely not playing with his full deck. I don’t dare forebode a great future for a heartwarming daughter-daddy
family reunion as he has too many bad deeds to expiate. I don’t feel too much
sympathy for him so it is time to liquidate him as soon as possible, if you ask
me.
Fangirling
I kinda lovehate Ernie and Gabe dialogues
because while they bring so much tension, I became impatient at the same time
and I was like “you know, it is time to realize you’re better together than off
and please, PLEASE confess your everlasting undying love for each other and go
to bed finally”. What? It is a win-win situation ;)
