So far this is not what I expected.

I can't not read Jorane Sutt as slut every time I see it.

That section might have made a good short story.

and time for a new set of characters to not care about...

ugh, I really can't fathom how this is so many people's favorite asimov book

ah, Vegan tobacco, not vegan tobacco.

this mocking dialect is just lovely
/sarcasm

really? new characters? i barely gave a shit about the old characters

this is farther than I've ever made it before in this book. if I never post again you can assume I've died of dehydration after having all the moisture leached out of me by this dry ass book.

Dear everyone who in any way contributed to the "Historical" category on amazon now meaning store-brand generic fantasy,

I hate your guts.

kthxbye

I'm quite enjoying this but i find i need frequent breaks.

If I were to detail the ordinary events of my daily life at this time, they might prove instructive to people who are not familiar with the inside of palaces; if I revealed some of the secrets I learnt, they might prove of interest to the statesmen of Europe. I intend to do neither of these things. I should be between the Scylla of dullness and the Charybdis of indiscretion - if only today's writers knew this

Love how the updates on my goodreads profile simultaneously refer to me in the second AND third person.

this mutually assured destruction theory seems naive

I remember none of this.

I was worried for nothing. :) I haven't read this since grade school I think and I was scared it was going to turn out to be torture, but I could get through this on style alone I think.

i seriously question the judgement of anyone labeling this YA.

Chapter VI, in which Wahid takes a nap. <.<

damn, some subversive meta shit in this book :)

ok, this is actually quite funny

the epithets are jarring, especially when used by Brandstetter himself. i don't know how they would have read to contemporaries though. still, loving everything else about these so far.

I hadn't expected the goddess to be our narrator. :)

glad wells is putting out something besides those flying people books again, zero interest in those. these are great

this is so my sense of humor

Parker's novellas are the best. :) Been hit or miss at novel length, which makes me put off trying some of his multi-book series.
