Status Updates From The Way of Thorn and Thunde...

(Figured, whom I get reminded of by Kyns' sensory stalks: Andorians).

"There are many who believe themselves entitled to any number of privileges, generally because they are experienced thieves and bullies who have never been denied anything in their lives."

"When Men are scared, that's when they're most dangerous."

Gods, I suck at eye-reading; have fallen asleep three times now, and progressed perhaps 10 pages.

Dear Justice: your work needs an audio option. Any audio option.

...or optionally, I need to increase my iron intake to stay better awake?

"Trust Men to wait until their own selfish interests are endangered before they look around and see the suffering of others."

It's a fascinatingly magical world, but dang, if the format of this book isn't keeping me from making progress with it.

Anyhow. This chapter also contained this familiar trope, which was no surprise: "had rested a callused hand on her back".

Much better than the terribly boring beginning half, but still not doing enough.

Im really struggling to stay even remotely engaged

Feels rather like Broken Earth with it's lore and vehemence.

Predictably, I fell asleep on this. Not because of the book, though. Intriguing first chapter; curious to see where this goes.

This book needs to be more widely available! Had to download a whole new app to get it... and then there's no Read Aloud possibility. Which means, this will irrevocably be left on the sidelines waiting for the rarest of occasion I'd be able to settle to eye-reading... and do so for more than couple pages before falling asleep.

I predict this is gonna be slooow.

Finished. RTC when I'm back at my PC.

Sh***! This is tearing my heart out!
This prose/worldbuilding/intensity can easily stand alongside Jemisin's Broken Earth.

Thank you to all the goddesses of books and to Travis for initiating this BR! This is the novel I've been waiting for the whole year.

Is is possible simultaneously to cover your eyes and continue reading?
