Book club 9!
Between the Velvet Lies
Interestingly inviting and excellent idea to put it into book club to round up some party goers! Dio's power seems to only grow as he dominates the moors, but, humbly, he is a host for a most spacious event! I find myself really enjoying this piece because he rallies the servants in a way that they aren't used to and the diversity of instrumental command was well described in my opinion. Leniency verses his powerful wrath made for a nice foil (even in the idea of it) and was introduced and played nicely with the points made from the other secondaries.
Influence is something that I would expect for him to gain with his authoritative status in the moors, and essentially the power and the responsibility that corresponds with it. (But be warned! Secondaries have more numbers than primes!) This event, however, because it is massive, reminds me of the flier announcing the prompt: slaying of the nidhogg.

I like the element of class he brings and desiring superiority even in food quality is a nice touch.
Monster Meets King
I suppose I'll start where Gilgamesh compares Eudocia to a "Lion on a leash" the comment's context amused me and I enjoyed the allegory. The change in the tide was drastic just after this point, as with the dramatic death of a citizen, conquest became only a part of the whole picture but power never left Gilgamesh's view.
I always get a bit nervous putting input into still active topics, because I consider commentary or critiques more of a retrospective process but as I reflect on the plot line I really like the two characters. They seem to round out one another rather well and it's a great duo because of the contrasts of both characters' priorities. Whether their goals are beauty or beastly oriented, together they fit unexpectedly -or so it appears- very well.
I do enjoy the dialogue and the use of qualities from both characters and continue to be intrigued more and more as the story progresses. I see a similar nobility or esteem of honor that I recognize from some of Atelos' adventures and it helps to give some perspective on Gilgamesh as well.
Eudocia is definitely her own girl and her strong traits radiate toward Gilgamesh who sees her as a powerful asset. And power indeed as she shoots red orbs of energy from her horns! (This was really cool!) To say further I think the two get along well and two Primes will almost always be more powerful (and useful) than one.
Eudocia is very distinctive and her writing is interwoven with innovative ideas, say when the scary scarabs appeared. I look forward to seeing how the story progresses from the gateway of Gilgamesh's Castle.. To the New Babylonian world!?

I hope you don't mind if I put my response to this topic in the next book club. It's a bit longer and I'd rather give it my undivided attention and time.
