First let me say that I really enjoyed the book! I think i’d rate it probably a 4.5 or a 5! It was very well paced, had great action sequences, lore expansion, and characterization.

I still feel a bit confused about some things so I wanted to ask people who have read the boom for clarification!

Note: if the answers to these questions are expanded in later books, don’t answer them!! I just want to make sure I didn’t miss any details in this books

1. I know what the recreance is, but at this point in the story, do we actually know why the knights all laid down their armor?

2. Do we know what caused the listeners (Parshendi) to en masse convert to slaveform and become what is known as parshmen? I feel like that was touched on and I forgot😅?

again if these are things that are answered in later books, don’t answer! I just wanna make sure my memory isn’t as bad as I think it is!
