Shaun Tan is one author I KNOW to expect astounding beauty from, and yet I'm continuously amazed.

How. How?

Oh man. Oh man oh man oh man.

The storming Stormfather being petulant is simply the most adorable thing ever.

Oh boy. I can feel the heartbreak waiting to happen.

Finally, finally, FINALLY got my hands on this.

Huge fan of how all the curses in this book are weather-based. :D

Nearing the end and so much is happening that every time I think I've found solid footing, this book throws me a curve ball and I JUST HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS 😭

I don't know how he comes up with such elaborate and intricate magical systems every. single. time.

Holy crap, the art style in this! Sci-fi in watercolour? Sign me the hell up.

How do you deal with the feeling of knowing things are about to go horribly horribly wrong, when there's nothing you can do to protect the characters you love? 😖

Brr. Chills.

"I don’t understand. You are ill?"
"No. Just stupid."
"Ah. Nothing new there."

I love you, Nighteyes. 💙

Re-reading this nearly a decade later with no memory of what's to come.

Please be kind to my heart, Hobb.

Signing up for pain and heartbreak this 24in48 Readathon with a Robin Hobb binge.

Oh my, Stephen Fry. Your voice.

"I barely noticed loneliness anymore; it was my normal condition, by necessity if not by nature."

Oh, Seraphina. C'mere. 💙

Reading this using Serial Reader - and it's completely changing the entire reading experience.

I don't think this is something I'd be able to normally read as easily.

"I bought a used Toyota and named him Charlie, after Charlie Brown, because he broke down all the time."

Genius.

Every year I tell myself I'll be better about tracking the books I read.

Every year, I spend the last few days in a mad rush to comb bookshelves and Kindle shelves in an attempt to remember what I spent the year reading.

Nostalgia and heartbreak, here I come.

The amount of sass in this book is just incredible.

It's been faaar too long since I re-read this.
