Bea’s Comments (group member since Apr 29, 2011)

Bea’s comments from the Pick-a-Shelf group.

I enjoy all Kvothe's adventures, but his current stay in Severen is a bit worrying.

I don't trust Alveron. He seems to swing drastically from liking to hating a person. Nor was I comfortable with his decision to cut off the thumbs of the alcanist.

I'd like Kvothe to return to the university setting, but I don't think he does...I mean, he is the innkeeper who is telling the story.

What do you think of Bredon? He seems to be helping Kvothe, but I am worried that he has another agenda that will be bad for Kvothe.

Joanna, thank you for the responses. I see that Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption and Baking Cakes in Kigali are found at my local library. I will be going there later today and so will probably pick up one of those.

EDIT: Baking Cakes in Kigali was available so that is what I will be reading.

I'm back. I should finish this week's reading today. I will post my thoughts later.

How's everyone else doing?

It is my sister's husband and, unfortunately, I was not close with either of them. Seems I was always several states away in my choice of homes and not a lot in common with either. I regret that now...but it is what it is.

Thankfully, my brother and sister are closer and he will be able to provide better support for her.

Marina, I have started the next portion already. I think you will get some answers right away regarding Kvothe's troubles.

I am enjoying this book and am delighted that I am remembering so much of the backstory. I agree that the world-building is good as I can definitely find myself in the midst of the scenes.

What do you think of Auria? I am really intrigued by her.

Just a heads up. I will need to travel to Virginia for a funeral and will be leaving tomorrow. I expect to return by the end of the week. I will try to stay up on the reading but will not be able to post until I return.

Marina, I am about 70 pages from the end of the first week's read, and I expect to complete that today. Yay! Did better than I expected.

Glitch in next week, however, is that I will need to travel to VA for a funeral. I will try to keep up with the reading, but I will not be able to post until I return.

Started: The Virgin In The Ice: The Sixth Chronicle Of Brother Cadfael for PnM Publication and for Bookopoly

I am enjoying this book. I have been so reluctant to start it due to its size (does this man write small books?), but, I agree with Coralie that it is an easy, even fun read...and yet it keeps me guessing and letting out the breath I was holding.

(view spoiler)[I think Dalinar is like so many older people. We look back on our lives and find that our behaviour is not as satisfying to us as it once was. We are handicapped by the fact that others remember us as we were...not as we have become...and expect the same.

I like Pattern, also, Coralie. But, I think (other than Syl), he is one of the few spren we get to know. I am now interested in that ancient spren who was captured.

I still think that Shallon is struggling to find out who she is...as a person. My opinion is that she will be awesome as a Radiant when she truly discovers herself.

I wonder if we will get to know Renalin or Navani better.

I agree that Kaladin is having difficulty with his identity and the Parshmen. I am not yet sure that it will be trouble. (hide spoiler)]

Since we are all up to the end of part I, can I just say:

(view spoiler)[oh, sure...Jasnah's return is the last line! (hide spoiler)]
