I'm so eager to know what the sheet music from A Darker Shore actually sounds like, but I can't play the piano nor flute so I was wondering if there's any videos around of people playing it?
I ended up caving and ordered it, but has anyone else been struggling to find a physical copy in stores? My Barnes & Noble STILL doesn’t have it and the closest Barnes that does is over 2 hours away. Even my local Target/Walmart doesn’t carry it. Is it because it’s a shorter novella? I guess I should’ve just preordered but I love going to the bookstore on release day and grabbing an anticipated release. Definitely a non-issue, but I’m so curious as to why I can’t find it anywhere 😭
Hey guys, anyone else sus about the inside cover artwork? Some of these crows are looking a bit.... AI wonky to me
oh my god guys a darker shore arrived and i ended up sobbing like a baby i was having the worst day and then it showed up!!! i havent read it yet but all the details look so amazing!!!!! I’m so excited to read it, it’s been ten years since crooked kingdoms and i know some of the story was covered in the king of scars duology but i digress… im so happy.
To be clear, I wasn’t spoiled by anyone here on Reddit! All the posts I’ve seen on here have been really thoughtful about labeling spoilers for others.
It was someone who creates Six of Crows art and comics on Instagram. Their work is amazing, hence why I followed them a long time ago. I just didn’t expect them to post spoiler art for A Darker Shore two days after it released.
Apparently this person got to read the book a couple weeks early, which is awesome for them! I just wish they had been mindful that not everyone had a chance to read A Darker Shore right when it came out. (And if they couldn’t bring themselves to wait to post spoiler art, I wish they would’ve labeled it as a spoiler in the caption at least.)
Anyway, I can’t undo what I saw, and I still plan to read A Darker Shore very soon. It’s just a bummer that I wanted to vent about.
I hope everyone who’s read the story has loved it!
IT’S FINALLY HERE!! Nobody bother me for the next few hours!! 🖤🖤🐦⬛🐦⬛
Has anyone been able to decipher the puzzle?? I know I need to use the sheet music, but I can’t figure out the pattern to decipher the code.
Also do these little marks mean anything?? They’re on some of the words however they’re also other places with no text, so maybe it was just a design choice but I’m thinking it’s another code
I cried through most of it, they’re all happy and living their best lives I love them so much.
I absolutely love the fact that the music is a tribute to Matthias, and Nina’s holding it in her portrait. And as much as I criticize her and Hannes relationship “her king adores her” and how happy Nina seemed brought me joy. Also the fact that she made Matthiases killer the captain of her guard is such a beautiful show of character growth on both their ends. (I miss hellnik so much)
And Jespers letter was phenomenal, it’s also really funny how kaz didn’t tell him what was going on, and how he and wylan worked together on the music to make the code I love that so much.
And kaz with his gloves off on inej’s boat, and the code in the final letters, they’re so in love and they’re healing. Also the medicine that’s killing kaz is mildly concerning.
Someone else made a comment in another post about how Kaz going to Ravka for the ball could be setting up the shu Han heist that the end of rule of wolves mentions. I wonder if we get this book will kaz still be recovering from this sickness? Will this affect him long term?
Speaking of Emeil Kroon
I have a belief that unless we see the body any dead characters still have a chance of survival/coming back.
For a moment it lined up. Engineer, potential Ravkan operative, his portrait even looks like him, Zoya throwing a ball for him. For just a moment I wondered if David could be alive, and I mourned him again when Emeils identity was revealed.
