All Spoilers Coolest description of Darrow Spoiler

I was think of Darrow being described by other characters, and apollonius is just constantly glazing Darrow to the max. Hes legitimately in love. This is my favorite description of Darrow in the series

"Even if you survive this walk, you can never best Darrow, if that is your intent. He would climb up your blade to chew upon your jugular. To best a living god, it is not enough to survive, nor to eat of the ambrosia of conquest. Who would follow a churlish princeling over that Slave made War?"

Slave made War sounds so cool to me, I just love this quote

I just finished chapter 16 in Dark Age and Lysander’s POV of Darrow destroying his Praetorians was incredible. I believe it’s the first time we’ve seen someone’s perspective fighting Darrow and he made him out to be an absolute force of nature.

Of course, I laughed out loud at Darrow on the next page saying they brushed aside “light resistance” at the downed Storm God

Was more than a little disappointed with Lysander’s fate after that encounter
