Summary
Shadow Milk makes two terrible mistakes. Firstly, he keeps a nearly-dead child alive just to see the results of that choice. Secondly, he then receives another child and keeps it after a gamble. He's not one driven to caring, particularly, but there's not really anything else to call it; well, accidentally creating a "family" might work, if you stretch the meaning of the word. He'll never say that much, certainly. Black Sapphire learns from watching, Candy Apple is never taught. Despite it all, they care. How much that matters, well... it certainly won't, for a great many centuries. Three liars can't exactly communicate healthily, after all.

Summary
There's no sweeter lie than a dream. Your brain takes in memories and snippets of wants and fears and turns into a big ol' mush of nonsensical information you're free to interpret as you wish. Logically, it follows a liar would take interest in making use of this.
Or, Shadow Milk Cookie decides weakening Pure Vanilla Cookie before their next encounter would be an excellent strategic maneuver. What better way than by turning all of his dreams to nightmares by his own hand?

Bookmarker's Notes
10/10 the book is amazing, ending at the meeting leading up to the war against Dark enchantress. I'm more than eagerly awaiting the next entry.
Shadow milk's redemption arc, even if not completed, feels set in stone. His relationship with his minions having improved significantly to the point where he's their actual father figure and not just the person in charge of the household. The same with his relationship with Pure vanilla. The Shadowvanilla ship had sailed in this first book and I couldn't be happier that we get so much time to actively explore how they are together.
There's still a lot of secrets and plot lines awaiting their conclusion. Mainly the plot line with Shadow milk trying to convince the other beasts to not stand in the ancients way of defeating Dark enchantress. Personally, I can't wait until the Silent salt reveal will happen in this universe, the author may not follow canon 1-1 but they do wish to keep the majority of plot points from it, so I hope that Silent salt being the one to have sealed the beast is also something that had occured in this fic.
