Oh this was tense, all right.

I almost cried, I wanted to scream anf could also laugh.

Darren has to face the trials and he does so bravely and as skilled as he can be.
The fire trial was just pure torture and the aftermath of it almost made me cry. I do not, ever, want to know what it's like to be burned. Especially as bad as Darren.

I liked how the vampires were advocating for him but at the same time I wondered, if being alive for so long might numb your emotions. Vampire or not, how can you expect a child to face all that and to be able to work through that?

Kurba's betrayal was called for and still hurt. Especially because he killed Gavner. 
I really hope he gets avenged and I really am excited to learn about what happens to Darren.
