Status Updates From Way of the Walker

“And I’ve heard rumors of corpse eating, violence, orgies in the cemetery....”

What

"It was not a spider, but vaguely arachnid, with a long and snake-like body, flesh glistening corpse-grey, segmented like a centipede. Rather than eight legs, it had maybe… thirty-eight or more, too many. Each leg, as long as Ree was tall, ended in a blood red, knife-like tip, every movement cascading down its joints in a wave."

What in the Shelob's cousin 🐛

"Bodies, everywhere. All encased in strings and strings of webbing, pasted against the domed ceiling and the walls, hanging suspended above her like the grisliest garland in existence...."

What in the Shelob 🕷️🕸️

"What if passing the Kang-Fye trial really did protect the hunter from a descent into inhumanity, one that would warp her mind into something she could not return from? What if it killed her? Or what if she couldn’t handle it, her wits rendered completely useless?"

What in the Witcher

I really liked the first book. This just feels like a Witcher clone with typical fantasy monsters

"A link of home-cooked sai-ua sausage. Seasoned with ginger, lemongrass, and spices. Wrapped in lettuce leaves with a bit of sticky rice, the crispy pork skin cracked in Ree’s mouth and flooded her senses with pure enjoyment. Along with that, neua sawan–heavenly beef–marinated, sun-dried, and deep fried jerky, Kit’s absolute favorite."

Every fantasy novel should have detailed food descriptions fr

"Every novice carried such a pouch to administer their daily doses of poisons, building up their tolerance over the years. For some of their upcoming rituals, it was necessary to ingest highly toxic ingredients. Ones that would be lethal to any normal, grown human."

I forgot how this series is very Witcher

"A small, grey hand inched from the hole, fingers flexing, dragging itself forward with clawed nails caked with dirt. A skinny arm followed, fish-belly pale, with deep violet veins spider-webbing across the flesh. Help me up, little one. And we can be friends…"

Not sure if gross or cool
