Where it takes place changes around a lot, going from a calm, mountain village, to a dark, broken city, filled with the poor, the super rich, and the corrupted. A huge chunk of the story takes place in that city, while another chunk is in a massive mansion filled with huge murals, rooms filled with goods, and more. The time, is never mentioned, but it seems it takes place in the 17th century, due to the use of oil lamps in the story. ]]> 2018-05-24 17:29:53 UTC https://padlet.com/dongkai_zhang/iegvxmj4a140/wish/263431495 dongkai_zhang https://padlet.com/dongkai_zhang/iegvxmj4a140/wish/263432325 The title of the book i'm reading is "Yoss."  Odo Hirsch is the pen name of David Kausman, an Australian author, and the author of Yoss. ]]> 2018-05-24 17:32:18 UTC https://padlet.com/dongkai_zhang/iegvxmj4a140/wish/263432325 dongkai_zhang https://padlet.com/dongkai_zhang/iegvxmj4a140/wish/263695723 The book's main antagonist is a trickster/theif named Conrad. He tricked a jailer into letting him out of prison, by bribing him with rubies and emeralds he never had! He's also a bit of a heavier man, as shown when he gorges down plates of food in a bar, or when he nearly kills a horse, just by riding it for a span of time. But towards the end he becomes delusional with revenge, which eventually leads to his downfall. He wanted revenge on Yoss so badly, that he rushed at him without thinking, something the cunning man wouldn't usually do.  ]]> 2018-05-25 17:21:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dongkai_zhang/iegvxmj4a140/wish/263695723 dongkai_zhang https://padlet.com/dongkai_zhang/iegvxmj4a140/wish/263696511 The protagonist in this book, is Yoss.
