reading it for my manuscript writing course right now, so far very entertaining!

conspiracy after conspiracy, so much has happened, why and what is going on???

i don’t know if i totally followed the reasoning from Mahalia’s thefts of artefacts to Sear and Core. I mean yeah, i understood it, but it sorta felt like a reach to how they got there?

not Bilbo getting knocked out mid-fight AGAIN

the conflict between Orciny and Breach is keeping me on the edge of my seats, like oh my lord i need to find out noooooow

oooh okay so maybe Breach isn’t this mysterious all-knowing power but actually Orciny

but why would Orciny want to be kept secret if they’re so much more powerful and all-seeing and all-knowing and could control both cities if they wished? why not just declare the cities into one again and no one would have to hide or breach?

there’s something more i’m missing, but this is interesting as hell

i love these silly little creatures

what i’m wondering is how Tyador and Corwi can talk despite being in the different cities without breaching.

i mean, Breach knows when someone as much as LOOKS at the other city, but doesn’t notice people communicating from different ones? at the same time, Tyador did get a lead from someone who was possibly in Ul Qoma and he called the professor from Besźel.

i’m a tad confused at the logistics of it

i knew about the thing with the two cities and the unseeing and breach, but i feel like i’ve just finally GOT it and understand how it works and being able to picture them, and it’s a lot more intriguing now

…they’re in for it now

a much shorter visit to the Lake-town than i had imagined, but i liked the way the characters interacted with the company

had a hard time getting into it because the dialogue is not really my style and the descriptions were A LOT and kind of heavy.

still can’t decide if i hate the way the dialogue is written or if i’m just starting to get intrigued by it

too tired to process anything but the concept is still really interesting

i find it very funny that Death’s big impressive horse is named Binky

Death is adorable help

“immoral support” pffff lmao i’ll be using that

i love how good the fight with the spiders were in the book! although it’s a shame there wasn’t as much excitement with the elves as there was in the movies

honestly, love Bilbo in the book

i love the way Tolkien writes

i like the nonsensicalness of this

i loved the movie so thought why not read the book? feels like the perfect lighthearted fantasy for the beach (despite gaiman being a shit)

okay well that was a lot

“Cinder Fool”

sick burn, Nomad. ahah, get it… burn?

okay i’ll see myself out

RIGHT into the action, this is why i love Sanderson

it feels like everything’s going to shit and i’m scared to hope for a good ending

not her trauma from the guardians making her inflict the same trauma onto her children

of COURSE HE’S ALIVE, because why wouldn’t he be??? goddammit

I KNEW IT I CALLED IT

if Damaya is younger Syenite, it makes me wonder if Essun is older Syenite

i noticed the difference in passing of time earlier but did not figure out that they were the same person

alabaster’s gay??? i did not expect the queerness of this book but i love it!!
