Rudolph: Battlegrounds Heavy Spoilers

(1/12) > >>

Psyklone:
Ok, First, Peace talks and Battlegrounds...one helluva ride.

I just finished Battlegrounds, stayed up all night reading.  Rudolph is now my most hated character.  That said, I actually haven't hated any characters in the series before, as I appreciated Jim's storytelling and skill.  Before, he was an enjoyable nuisance, because I felt he would eventually guide the plot in some way.  Now I straight up just hate him.   I had my suspicions that Murphy would not live, but to go like that, was just terrible.  At least in the way we would want such a character to exit...  As much as I hate it, it fits with how he has written Rudolph over the years, so I can't nitpick on basis of writing skill/experience, but dangit why did it have to be like that?!

RIP Murph, I will miss you.  I had hoped for a different outcome, but I guess with a Big O'l Apocalyptic trilogy headed our way the series can't really end all sunshine and rainbows.

Lucky you!  My book is still in limbo, though it is claimed that I will get it by eleven p.m. tonight!

Not surprised at either thing... Looking forward to the read!  Hopefully will get the book sooner than later... Will be better than watching the debates tonight. ::)

Conspiracy Theorist:
Rudy soiled himself, called that one (not that spoilery or unexpected really), and even got Murphy’s ‘big’ moment right based on the trailer.

It was inevitable that Murphy would die, it has been telegraphed since Skin Game, and the final nail in her coffin was sleeping with Harry (future paramours beware).

We now know Rudolph indeed was the ‘Man in the suit’ in the trailer although ‘Man’ is a real stretch to describe Rudolph

Slime ball might be more accurate..  Yeah, one of my guesses especially after getting a peek at chapter five that the man in the suit would turn out to be him.  Though I can't wait to find out how Murphy suddenly if physically able to get onto the battle field, or does that ultimately contribute to her demise?  Sort of suicide by Titan?  My book is somewhere between Baltimore and here, I live in Arkansas... At least they are saying now I should get it by 8:00 p.m. which is better than 11:00 p.m. that they said last night... :-\

Poten26:
It will be interesting to see if rudolph actually gets arrested for killing murphy and if he will get off
