I'm pretty sure Nidhog is next in line to get her seed removed she's the one who still obey her father's order while Eikthynir and Heidrun are against him.
Never thought about that... and that could be the case. Honestly: The fact that the book only has 1 or 2 chapters left and there's no clear or at least an idea on how we're gonna overcome this problem is kinda concerning... Part 2 of this book for next year, I guess?
*Spoilers* Today, Book VIII has reached its end. We did k!ll Laeradr, but Ratatoskr and the others survived! Laeradr even revived Hvraelsagr and Niddhogr (sorry if I mispelled their names)! It is a happy ending!
Since no one made a comment like this yet I decided I would be the first to do so. I think this theme does sound good and interesting for a book that just (imo) became FNAF lore (I don't really keep up with that lore but I felt the book to be similar to fnaf in some ways, also not complaining just in case any of yall are curious)
This book is already making up for my massive disappointment in Book 7, this was a good chapter. Spoilers under the cut: I had a feeling the Hands were fake somehow, but I was thinking they were like made of wood or something. Finding out that they were actually brain dead, regular people is even more sad and disturbing somehow. Also thankfully there’s no super major plotholes so far, except for us being teased about Henriette’s history, they messed with us again and it’s killing me!
I feel Book 8 was a bit slow at the beginning, but is been good these last chapters; so far it may be my second favorite book. But I hate so much Book 7, maybe because Im fixated on how I hate avatar workship and seird baby line.
@@iwantmoney3598 Personally, I felt the beginning was pretty good. The assassination attempts were interesting and the pacing to the tree was done well. Book 7 could have been better if there hadn't been massive plot-holes, like how Kvasir knows she becomes Gullveig, but doesn't know anything about her time as Seidr or why Seidr doesn't remember being Kvasir. Or who the supposed child between the summoner and Seidr was supposed to be (And it wasn't Heidr like everyone thinks it is. Seidr specifically says the baby would have been born in the light of Vanaheim, and that she specifically needed the Summoner to consent and we never do, meanwhile Gullveig just pops out Heidr without needing anyone). Or why Gullveig and Kvasir get a happily ever after by surviving the events and living within Seidr while more sympathetic villains or characters (Fafnir, Helbindi, Lif/Thrasir, Embla) get the axe.
@@TheChildofAuraReborn Kvasir does not know what she does as Seidr (and Seidr does not remember being Kvasir) because Kvasir purposefully performs a ritual that wipes her memory. "I must perform the ritual, as has been decided. I must become Gullveig, and I must forget all I am to do so." in Chaper 4. Kvasir knows she will become Gullveig because Gullveig transitions into Kvasir. The child between the Summoner and Seidr IS Heidr. Heidr is born in the light of Vanaheimr. Gullveig doesn't pop her out. She knows exactly when Heidr will appear. "My child, my creation...my daughter... will come into being...now." Note the pause before the "now". Also, we do consent. Kiran just never answers directly. It would be strange to have that conversation shown at all if we just say no. I think Gullveig and Kvasir are very sympathetic, considering they're forced to abide by the Golden Curse's whims and cannot do anything directly against it. Gullveig even implies she tried to end her life and it proved impossible for her to do so. "The serpent within you will not permit it. Death is now beyond your reach. I know because... it is likewise beyond mine." I genuinely think Book 7 is the most cohesive book and it's sad others do not think the same.
@@ToonQuill Then why does Kvasir just transform into Seidr instead of Gullveig? Literally nothing about Seidr has any hint of Gullveig until the serpents infect her body, so the ritual isn’t even about becoming Gullveig. The writer for this book didn’t even seem to be able to grasp how the process would go as it did. No, the Summoner didn’t consent. The last thing Seidr said to the Summoner was to think about it, and then it’s never brought up again. FEH is very clear when it uses third person perspective to narrate what the Summoner says or does; units talking to the Summoner will usually do this (Priam narrating that the Summoner isn’t bothered by him, Gilliam narrating the Summoner running away from his training offer, etc). Meanwhile there is NO indication when talking to Seidr that you agreed to it. None. Zilch. Zip. You may feel that Book 7 was the most cohesive; many of us don’t. The story was a jumbled mess, playing the chapters out of order was massively detrimental to the story; ( and if we’re talking cohesion, that was Book 3 that was the best cohesion). A good chunk of the characters were just genuinely stupid (The first time she meets you, Nerthuz doesn’t tell you Njordr is evil and doesn’t say WHY he can’t have his weapon back, and then finger wags at you when he’s revealed as the twist villain. Njordr is stupid for not having a contingency plan for controlling Gullveig once he brings her to his location. Seidr is useless, why is she even a goddess? Goddess of what? It would be better if her title was “servant of light” because she sure ain’t a goddess). Seidr and Gullveig are just creepy, boundary overstepping freaks. I’d say Heidr is the only tolerable character, but she doesn’t even HAVE a character besides “sick sister”, she was just a plot device with one purpose and while the horrible stalker (the adult one AND the creepy-ass minor constantly trying to confess her love to you despite knowing you for maybe a few days, a week or two TOPS) gets to live happily ever after, the ONE innocent party in all of this doesn’t. I’m happy that you like Book 7, but I hate it and nothing will change my mind.
@@ToonQuill And again, it doesn’t explain why Kvasir doesn’t know anything about Seidr even though she knows about Gullveig and Gullveig knows about Seidr.
No wonder the Black Fang theme played for Eik and Heidrun's MHB. It was foreshadowing a major plot twist.
That was definitely not intentional but still a neat coincidence
The look on Hræsvelgr’s face after her heart-seed was removed is gonna haunt me for a while…
:0
It's so heartbreaking she doesn't deserve this and what's worse is she's at a state worse than death just a soulless body yearning for death 😭
Ratatoskr's face at the end of the Midpoint movie foreshadowed that too...
Yeah, that's gotta hurt.
@@prismus6520 Oh god, is it gonna happen to her too? I thought Læraðr just suppressed her heart and later on I thought it was the king who killed her but no.
For me, its goong to be the sudden shift in tone the Tree dad has from scared to that cold, dead look in his eyes

Considering what happened this chapter, I'm genuinely worried for Ratatoskr's fate
Didn't know what to think of this book in the first half, but the second half had me hooked.
(What a painful BHB though)
The beginning reminds me of Majora's Mask's Final Hours theme
ok but this actually slaps
0 damage...0 damage... 0 damage.... Damn it when will this snake lady just die???? This new abyssal sucks
So rightfully hard
Damage reduction within damage reduction on Nidhoggr
Book 7 would never come up with plots this…twisted!
THIS TRACK IS A BANGER, TOO!
Ratatoskr & Siblings: _Dread and Depression_
Meanwhile, Reginn: *_"Introducing, Apple's new technology-"_*
Now I have a head canon that while book 8 was happening reginn the whole time is just in the past messing around with technology
Why hasn’t anyone uploaded a gameplay video of the latest chapter yet…
i have a question. If we kill Læraðr, will it kill all family, right?
Never thought about that... and that could be the case.
