Reading this as a physical copy now that it’s finally arrived (shipping time was a full week exactly and I was going crazy waiting lol) cause my audible credits/discounts are fully depleted. Time to adjust to seeing all the names written down lol

This is… not very good so far

Really into this conceptualization of angels as cephalopod-like

“No artist could have imagined this” ummm isn’t the point of being an artist, particularly a surrealist artist, to imagine things lol

Alvarez is a stronger man than me, I’d probably stab a guy if he told me he had the perfect job for me and dumped this oracle in my lap to bathe and spoonfeed 💀💀

I’m open to reading Christianity-based fiction, fantasy religions, and thinly veiled or allegorical fantasy copies of Christianity, but I don’t think I really like this version of “Christianity with new made-up things also” …

Still love Naran I’m so excited to see him again

This is… not very good so far 😭

Big fan of the crocodiles (alligators? Unclear)

I realize Cee is a friend of the protagonists from the first trilogy, which I never read (yet), so I think I’m supposed to be on her side, but wow I hate her so far

I love the fantasy Italians

Shipping Raxa and Ves (spelling uncertain lol) really hard rn

Big fan of Naran btw, glad he’s still around

I’d feel bad for Gladdic if he didn’t suck so much lol

Okay ngl I wasn’t really looking for this book to pick up RIGHT where the last one left off, literally in the same two seconds of timeline, because I’m kind of dismayed on Dante’s behalf, but I guess it is what it is. Onwards and upwards it is

This is gonna sound like such a sexist asshole thing to say (and hypocritical considering I don’t usually handle my own anxiety with grace) but I swear the protagonist has spent the whole story either being hysterical, committing murder, or being hysterical about committing murder, and generally not being very sharp

Gladdic’s annoyed POV of Blays is the single most delightfully entertaining thing I’ve read all year

Gladdic WTF !!! 😨

A plot twist that was extremely predictable, but what can I say I support gay rights and also wrongs (unless this takes a particularly sinister turn I didn’t anticipate, in which case I’ll withdraw my support from this secondary antagonist and also my flippancy)
In other news I figured out the spelling of her name too so I’d like to say Cord is quite adorable to me

I’ve warmed up a lot to Raxa and Gates (I’m listening to the audiobook so idk how to spell his name yet lol) but this thieves’ guild thing is still so cringe. I suppose it’s not terribly different from the concept of a mafia or more general gang but for some reason it’s giving me more secondhand embarrassment currently

Gladdic WTF (again) 😭

Her plot line is still super boring but I’m warming up to Raxa’s personality

The concept of an actual thieves’ guild is so cringe to me for some reason I’m not gonna lie. This whole raxa storyline better pick up a bit because it’s really dragging down a good thing so far

Gladdic WTF 😭😭😭

I still love the concepts of the story and I enjoy all the secondary characters so far, only the narrator has been unexpectedly extremely unlikable despite on the surface having a ton of characteristics that should totally make her a fave of mine. I got a super off-putting opinion of her when she jumped to murdering the people she was responsible for as the only solution to her problems and then within 5 min of —
