I was confused for a few moments before remembering that you had shown me a preview before.
Much of this chapter does a great job of presenting Annora's state of mind, the confusion and betrayal, as she wrestles with the destiny she never wanted that came at a cost she never would have chosen to pay. The rest of the chapter is built upon sweeping imagery, painting the picture of her purgatory in a unique way that feels both real and unreal. It's very touching and yet very infuriating at the same time, imagining what Annora is going through.
The very end was also touching, with the surprise arrival and heartfelt hug. Perfect ending to this trial, a reprieve well-deserved, even if it might not last long.
