I am REALLY liking the historical conflicts that are portrayed in the book tho, and how they are represented. Now THAT is cool. And how the footnotes are sometimes real life facts that relate to what’s going on in the book and give context to it

Progress emoji: 👏

Lowkey still trying to figure out the main… conflict?? Like, trying to stop the games? Being High Freed?? No clue, just here the vibes at the moment

Progress emoji: 🙂

Thurwar is truly the Blood Mama

Progress emoji: 😯

Slowly but surely getting more into this. Still wondering what the main conflict will be but we shall see. Cool gladiator book tho

Progress emoji: 🤷‍♂️

This was a good 10% ago in the book but that Dune quote callback literally gave me FULL BODY CHILLS in the middle of editing at work

Progress emoji: 😵😵😵

Started this audio book about a month ago and finally got it back on Libby, and man it’s SO COOL. Coming from a fellow video gamer and lover of music and movies, it is incredibly satisfying. Ernest Cline is slowly becoming a favorite author

Progress emoji: 😩😍

How this is gonna end in 40 pages? I have no idea. But I’m strapped in like Ryland Grace’s zero-g chair with no name for the wild ride that’s probably going to ensue

Rocky is the funniest alien ever and he doesn’t even realize it

Progress emoji: 😂😂😂

“Why not be calm, question?”
Of course he can’t tell the lights when out… he has no eyes

Still thinking about this interaction and I chuckle every time

Progress emoji: 😂

I just wanna keep reading this book, ITS SO GOOD. The emotions. The actions. The plot. The characters and their interactions. UGH

This was one of the most fun and rollercoaster reading sessions of the book I must say

Progress emoji: 😩🫨

NO NO NO NO NO NOT ROCKY I SWEAR

Progress emoji:😭😭😭😭

I agree with Ilyukhina, Stratt needs a good lay to unwind her

Progress emoji: 😂😂

THEYRE FIGURING IT OUT, ALIEN FIST BUMP LETS GOOOO

This is actually a crazy, CRAZY concept

Progress emoji: 😆

Martin is that guy who has sex one time and needs to let everyone know about that one time

Progress emoji: 😂😭

The racism and sexism talk made me laugh out loud. Weir drops these in out of nowhere and it always lands and is HILARIOUS

Progress emoji: 😂😂

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY, LETS SAVS PLANETS

Thanks Andy Weir, I am now emotionally attached to a dog sized 5 legged spider thing from space. And I stg if anything happens to him… I will throw a fit

I seriously love these interactions, ugh this book is so good and so cool

Progress emoji: 😲😆

ALIEN JAZZ HANDS, LOVE IT. ROCKY IS SO AWESOME

Progress emoji: 😩😩😩

THATS HIS LANGUAGE???? SO FRICKIN COOL WHAT

Progress emoji: 😱

Ah yes, alien pronouns, what would they be?? These are the real questions 😂😂

Are these ACTUALLY gonna be aliens????

Progress emoji: 😦

This book is SO COOL. How does Andy Weir come up with stuff like this???

Progress emoji: 🫨

WOAH. THATS A COOL DISASTER WHAT.

Progress emoji: 😱

Oh Andy Weir, how I missed your comical writing

“Emperor Comatose, kneel before me” “Incorrect” this robot banter is making me crack up already

Progress emoji: 😂

READING THE FIRST BOOK I EVER PUT ON MY TBR. I’ve been insanely hyped to read this one as I’ve seen so many good things about it. We are in for a hell of a ride 🚀😈
