In my previous, before retirement, experience I often used to ask people “what could possibly go wrong”, to reflect on risks. Maybe here it should be “what more could possible go wrong”. With the follow up of “what more yet could….” 😂
I really enjoyed the backstory here! Makes you understand & even appreciate how Maxim acts in the following fight scene.
Maybe it's the mentioning of education but I realised some aspects of Triverse remind me of Sergey Lukianenko's Night Watch book series, which I devoured as a teenager. There's magic, categorized in grades of power, but also bureaucracy & interpersonal relations complicating everything, even though the characters generally try to do what they believe is right (although everyone has their own definition of what that looks like). There's an ensemble cast & changing POV characters between books.
Huh. Some interesting insight into the "cliques" welders get assigned to...
So, y'know in Peter Jackson's "The Fellowship of the Ring," during the assault in Moria where Borimir says, "They have a cave troll..." (41 seconds into linked video)? That's pretty much how I said to myself, "PB's got the book."
Thus the Gods arrive to face a fully operational battle station.

I’ve never read those, but the comparison sounds about right!
Glad the backstory bits worked. It’s always a tricky balancing act to get some of that in without entirely disrupting the flow of the main action.

Helps to paste mentioned links, doesn't it? Can we get an "Edit" button?
