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

End of chapter 17 was a welcome moment for a smile in this doom bound developement. I'm literally biting my nails while reading.

"What could Vald possibly offer us that would be worth sacrificing all that we are and all that we hold dear?"
"our lives, dear uncle," she replied ...


Whew, now it's getting heavy on melancholy. I'm having goosebumps while reading. This book has something I was missing from so many in the last time: a soul!

What a book, what a power! This is already on its way to become one of my fav books.

“Sometimes you could do everything right and cruelty would still reign in this life. Sometimes the only thing to do was push on, no matter how terrible the world might become, no matter how much one suffered, never depending on hope but never quite giving up on it either.”

Reading more slowly now because I don’t want it to end.

Finally found a bit reading time. Still this will go slowly, all the more time to savour it.
I very much love the writing and the atmosphere and the world here. Feels much more "real" to me than most of the books I've read recently.

Yes! The first chapter is very promising!

Ugh, this books wrenches at my heart.

Why is there always someone who wants to open a portal to the underworld? And why do they think it will end well?

I think this is the first fantasy book I’ve read that acknowledges that females menstruate and has characters who pack adequate supplies for such things before embarking on their heroic journey.

Still good, but I find that the court intrigue part isn’t as absorbing as the adventure journey part.

This is so good!

Beautifully told story with a diverse, compelling cast of characters. Really enjoying this one so far.

So wyr is basically the Force?

Just got this through Interlibrary Loan and am diving right in. Gotta love a fantasy book with a 27 page glossary at the end.
