Y'all ever think about how fucked up it was that Nevee was executed, but Solovet was put under house arrest?

It's fucked up, but it fits in with the repeated theme of scapegoats in TUC. Gregor, Nevee, and even the Bane are all arguably scapegoats and political pawns for the people pulling the strings (Sandwich, Solovet, Twirltounge), who are used and thrown under the bus when no longer of any use or when they need a scapegoat. None of them really seemed to understand what they were doing or who they were fighting for. Gregor didn't know about the whole "killer" thing until book 4, Nevee was just following orders, and the Bane was basically an insane 1 year old. Sure, some people might care about these guys, but at the end of the day, they're just tools to the people in charge. Even Luxa and Ripred aren't above just assuming Gregor will side with them because "they're right and the other guys are wrong". And I've probably missed half of the pawns in this series.

TUC but Gregor has a gun. And he gives his friends some guns. Including Ripred.

RIPRED WITH A GUN

Please someone write a sequel to tuc, but it’s an ya style novel set 10+ years on.

The adventure involves Gregor being forced back down to help the Underland, but he’s an adult this time 21-25ish. And he has Boots with him. Somehow. And she’s a teenager.

She doesn’t remember the underland at all (at least to begin with) and is So Done with it all. Like, who are all these people and why does Gregor suddenly have anime level fighting skills?

And Gregor has to cart her around, again, while saving the world, again, and dealing with whatever mess Luxa is in.
