I would die for Francie, and I want to punch her stupid father in the FACE.

Oh yay, it's time for the near-inevitable digression about how religion in general is stupid, and people who follow a religion/have religious faith are foolish, and how it's a shame that the Tearling folks weren't able to leave religion behind when they fled the old world, since religion is just going to mess everything up for everyone. *sighs* Author is entitled to her beliefs. Just as I am entitled to mine.

Dammit, Sansom, you've lured me into a serial killer mystery.

Pausing here because the library copy is battered enough to make hauling it to and from work a tricky thing. Fully intend to finish tonight. Balthasar needs to GO.

I am halfway through this book, and thus far it has been nothing except the story of what another Very Special Character was doing during the first book. The actual plot has not advanced one iota, except to strongly imply that our two Very Special Characters are probably going to bang now that they've met.

Barely 100 pages in, and this book is providing all my 2020 Gothic-terrors-on-the-moors needs in SPADES.

Seriously, what sins to I have to commit in order to be the librarian of Hell's unwritten books section? I'll get on that right away. WHO NEEDS MURDERING I HAVE UNWRITTEN BOOKS TO CORRAL.

Definitely written by a man. I'm enjoying it, but sheesh, I am 100% aware that Kerri has breasts. You don't need to mention them every other page; I am not anxious that they'll somehow vanish between one conversation and the next.

If someone had MENTIONED that this book involves CLASSIC WELSH MYTHOLOGY including the famed CAULDRON OF REBIRTH, I would have read it weeks ago! Talk to me about Arawn and his red-eyed hounds and how the crack in the cauldron has led to zombies in the Welsh woods...

I am going to take a break from this book and read something else over lunch today, because something horrible just happened in the plot and I need a breather. How horrible, you may ask? I am going to reread We Have Always Lived in the Castle as a palate cleanser, that's how horrible.
