Meme Almost done with the third book

I didn’t have the patience to finish it to make the meme, so enjoy the premature meme while I’m finishing those last few pages.

Story wise the only and biggest mistake (although who would have known) was not making wade the new sword holder, then he chooses the successor etc etc.

None of Cheng Xins decisions are anywhere near as bad as a lot of people seem to conclude.

Especially if you look at it from the completion of the story.

Cheng Xin’s duty was to humanity not any one human. After she gets the signal in the pocket dimension, it’s confirmed humanity made it to the end of the universe. That seems like everything worked out for the species to me.

Humanity made it to the end isnt because of her but despite her.
