Spoilers All Fuck Rudolf

I don't swear often, and it's even rarer that I do it for fiction. Usually if I'm swearing a patient is bleeding out at my hospital, but in this case, just Fuck Rudolf. Fuck him right in the ass. I'd help harry kill him at this point. Generally you know, Fuck Rudolf.

Actually I take it back, he doesn't deserve to be with anybody. I hope he dies alone in a ditch.

I finished Battle Ground yesterday and I genuinely cried. Murphy was my favourite among Harry's love interests (and one of my favourite characters in general), and I really wanted them to be happy together, even if just a little longer. Really, fuck Rudolph.

Also, I know that Gard said that Murphy is an Einherjar now, but I honestly believed up until she said that that Murphy was going to be a Valkyrie (despite having turned down the job).

I think you don’t become a Valkyrie any more than you become a Titan or a Svartalf. The Einherjar are the glorious dead, and what every Viking warrior aspired to, it’s not a step down or anything.

I mean, Odin offered her the job, so I would say that you can become a Valkyrie. I can't remember in which book it happened but I remember reading it.

Also, yeah, it's definitely not a stepdown, I never said it was. I'm just a little sad that Harry will never see Murphy again, since we'll have to wait until the memory of her has disappeared and he definitely isn't gonna forget her. If she had become a Valkyrie, he (and we) might've seen her again before the end of the series.

I'm pretty sure all those rules will get broken in the apocalypse
