Apparently fossil water is a thing.

Who knew Las Vegas was a side effect?

mountain meadow massacre. damn

Nuclear Fracking. damn.

I'm not sure what it says about me that I'm finding water law fascinating.

Now I want to attribute everything to "The Law of the River".

A good end for Wawa.

And now we're getting into some really interesting stuff.

Sarcops are mean. Also, what an odd time for a romantic interlude.

Interesting resolution to the beaver drama. Taalik continued to impress.

And Gulaga falls.

I'm enjoying the Sheba / Motr(e) dynamic.

Interesting plot progression! I'm still struggling to visualize the sarcops, but they seem to have a lot of potential. I like how the relationship with Sheba is being addressed slowly.

"Knowing that the Fon's religious beliefs prevented them from venturing into bodies of water, the Tofinu fled their homes and established Ganvie, a community of bamboo hits built atop stilts on Lake Nakoué."

Also, the Fon were vampires.

Mount Myohyang is a 2-hour drive from Pyongyang, accessible only by guided tour. You will be provided with fabric covers to wear over your shoes so you do not silly the floors with filth.

Tongzi Dan. AKA boy-piss boiled eggs.

"Some might say it's unseemly to exhume the corpse of a departed friend, flat his skin in one piece from the waist down, and wear that flesh as a pair of leggings. These people do not know about the rich tradition of necropants, a wealth-attracting good-luck garment."

"He is Kindlifresser - "the Child-Eater" - and hoisting his sack of ready-to-eat-babies, he forms the centerpiece of one of the oldest fountains in the city."

Radiidin may be the most useful word ever.

And now I want to make a poison garden and employ men to dig tunnels for no reason. This book is unhealthy.

Very strong conclusion!

This is getting to be quite the downer.

And the sh*t hits the fan.

And then Saw got seriously crazy.

And sympathetic Saw has given way to terrorist Saw. A surprisingly clean transition.

"All you need is one good, solid tragedy, and the people will flock. Nothing units people like that. If Idryssa wants to really really people behind her, she needs to do it while standing on some graves."

Probably the most sympathetic Saw I've read so far. Little Jyn's maturity level seems to be highly situational, which is a little distracting.
