I was hoping for more from Gervasio chapter, but it was cut short when Rozemyne ascended. Hartmut spouting things like divine beauty beyond human comprehensions was on point.

From outside perspective Ferdinand and Rozemyne, not bound by social norms (as if she was ever) are like two peas in a pod. What did Ferdinand think dangling a book in front of her eyes.

Apparently the Gervasio chapter is fairly long and the next part will contain the conclusion, so his POV doesn't stop there!

I had to laugh when Hartmut, someone able to use magic, which is a supernatural power to us, was talking about "supernatural power". ^^

I was totally nooooooo! keep going, I wanted to see what happened when Mestionora took her body!

Maybe we're going to get that from Ferdinand's POV.

And yes, I love the way they are actually two complementary gremlins to outsiders.

These PoV chapters really give great insight how everyone around them treats a marriage between the two as the most normal conclusion to ever conclude

Seriously I wanted the Gervasio chapter to end with him trying to figure out how to leave the gate now that his schtappe is broken. That or I hope next book opens with Ferdinand coming back to pick him up.
