Uhh does severity not exist in this town? Like, equal punishment for the crime and not just straight up death like tf. Like, he couldve just been put on scavenger duty for a month or something since medicine is exclusively for the hounds, he's gonna have to be one. Tf u gon do orphaning a kid and sowing resentment
The only thing I could think of that would make sense as to why the killed him instead of some other punishment is to maintain groupthink. If you step out of line you die. So you don’t ever step out of line. You sacrifice yourself to community, and when there’s lines being drawn for what you can and can’t do, you more easily fall into things that you wouldn’t normally do. Kinda like a cult. Lots of organizations use fear as a tactic.
                                                I mean yeah that's fine and all that everyone has to fall in line and odd ones out gets hammered down BUT they could've given a little more thought into the lines they were drawing in the first place lol
Stealing medicine for the hounds? Get a lifetime of hound duty until zombies kill you. Kill or grape? Death sentence. Like most post apocalyptic communities in games or tv shows have this sort of logical thinking, idk it just cheapens the experience. But eh, the seggs is good                                            
Ok i read this in a few hours but im honestly getting whiplash at yanu's sudden change of attitude towards eyra? At how he was "nah you aint my mate" to just having a 180 turn believing he is his mate? Like, did i miss something? Did i just read too fast lol
in the novel it's a gradual change after they fight. Yang suspects it early then dismissed it. The biggest thing is Yanu is capable of feeling emotions. That's when he realizes that Eyra might just be the mate he's looking for. It's also why he asks the question about where he was... or am I thinking too far ahead. I read the novel lol
                                                So what exactly were the signs that he believed Eyra is his mate? He did say the energy came from the North so it couldn't be him (yet in this dialogue, the whole exchange has Eyra's birth playing out in the background so the author is implying Eyra is his mate??) 
I mean, I get longing after eyra after they had a big fight, but I dont think it's been explained why he thinks he's his mate now?                                            
The thing is as I said biggest clue was him feeling things. When Eyra was young he actually did sense him. It's also what caused his parents death. Later it's revealed that they labyrinth has a spell that makes it so it can't be tracked North is south east is west etc... So he could never sense Eyra and it always pointed in the wrong direction hence him never knowing where Eyra is/was. That is a bit later or somewhere it's been a few months since I read the novel(reread). and as Titti said they cut out a lot of what happens in the novel. This scene he's supposed to gift him a bouquet of monster eyes but instead he just gifts him his eye etc...
