2.) His name is Humphrey. He doesn’t like Jaron since he gave him a cut on his thigh during a duel when Jaron was young.
3.) Oh, this is a hard one. They were being ridiculous for some reason and decided to humour the subject of Jaron using the carriages to escape Avenia…
4.) Forty soldiers to begin with. Eighteen left after Gelyn’s attack. *Please don’t fail me, brain.*
5.) “red nose.”

6. So he can still the keys for his chains
7. Carthya: blue and gold (like Auradon from Descendants), Avenia: black and red, Mendenwal: I’m guessing purple and silver
8. Mathis
9. The women of Carthya
10. their weakest men (which included Mott, lol)
I loved The Shadow Throne, but each book in the series was equally good, so I love them all.
#1 – Amarinda, maybe. I kind of feel like they all did.
#2 – King Humfrey; because of the duel Jaron had challenged him to. Jaron had given him a cut on the thigh. *According to Jaron that wasn’t a good enough reason to go to war*
#3 – They had talked about it one night. It was a conversation that was suppose to be a joke.
#4 – Uh…. Forty is somewhere in there. It was either what he brought or what he had left. He may have brought like a hundred and had forty left or brought the forty with twenty left.
#5 – red rose. And then Jaron was like “whatever that meant.” YES, I so remembered this one. It had stumped me like Jaron when I read TST.
#6 – So he could steal the keys to his and Tobais’ chains.
#7 – Carthya’s: blue and gold Avenia’s: red and black Mendenwal’s: (I really want to say pink and purple for the humor) Truly, I don’t know. There might’ve been a blue or green…something like that. (?)
#8 – Mathis
#9 – the women!!! (I love this scene.)
#10 – Carthya’s hundred weakest men. (And Mott who had declared that it was an embarrassment but it turned out he was one of the weakest men. Haha, I loved that, too.)
This was fun!!! The Shadow Throne is my favorite in the series. I had hoped to do much better than I did, though. Sorry for all the extras, I just get so excited about this book. 🙂 Thanks for the trivia!!
