"Death is always less painful and easier than life! You speak true. And yet, we do not, day to day, choose death. Because ultimately, death is not the opposite of life, but the opposite of choice. Death is what you get when there are no choices left to make."

Catching up with Fitz and friends has been a joy. Such a comfy beginning.

So excited to see how the last ~180 pages go. The reading has been great recently.

Sheeeesh that last section was nutty. Some climax-esque events, despite just over 60% completion.

Tintaglia is MVP of the book so far, in multiple ways.

It is not going well for anyone

Althea "thought of her mother and sister snuggly at home" loool

Excited to continue!

Will finish tomorrow. SO GOOD.

Phew, those last couple chapters were stressful.

Chapter 25 was one of my most favorite Hobb chapters ever, certainly perhaps the best of Liveship so far.

Onto the "High Summer" section.

Alright, Malta has turned a corner for me.

Some good plot developments in this section

"Half the evil in this world occurs while decent people stand by and do nothing wrong."

"Accept your life, and you might survive it. If you hold back from it, insisting this is not your life, not where you are meant to be, life will pass you by."

Going to finish tomorrow! Excited to see how this will lead into book 2 of the trilogy.

“I’m a Vestrit.” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

"It was only when one gave in and believed the universe to be nothing more than a chaotic collection of unfortunate or cruel events that one's spirit could be crushed."

Well then, consider my spirit crushable.

Onto part 2, Autumn. Still great so far. Hoping to finish by NYE so this book can complete my 2020 reading challenge goal.

I think I'm starting to see how the rest of the book will go. Or maybe not. I have to mention Hobb's fantastic prose thus far, too.

"I've no objection to worn, or patched, but no man should willingly endure filth." I agree, Wintrow, I agree.
