the new royal sigil of King Tehol the Only of Lether: a three-quarter-on rendition of his brother’s roof-top bed, and if one looked carefully one would see cowering beneath that bed a row of six plucked – but living – hens...'

'...But who will rally under it?’
‘Brys, if an army must rally, one must presume it is in dire straits, yes? Well then, where better to hide than under the king’s bed?’

I'm still hoping Terminator turns up and burns everything to the ground.

Hasn't really grabbed me so far. Normally when I think of Cyborgs going back in time it's Terminator goes to kill Sarah Connor in the 1980's - What we have is Cyborg goes to pick flowers and tip toe through the tulips in a Tudor period setting. I guess if you are into period drama/historical fiction it could work

Wasn't sure how this was going to go at the start but really enjoying the story now

I wonder why Dalinar can't remember his wife.
Slowly piecing together how Kaladin became a slave.

‘She means to kill and then rob us.’
‘She had cruel parents, and was bullied as a child, Draconus. Other girls pulled her braids and spat in her ears. It’s all a misunderstanding!’
‘One more chance, then. My advice is to beat her senseless, Ublala. It’s likely that’s how Barghast men treat murderous women, as necessity demands.’
‘I can’t do that, Draconus. But I’ll comb her hair.’

I've just adopted a three legged kitten. We called her Rosie (my wife wouldn't let me call her Ilene)

‘I asked about a worthy cause.’
‘Yeah, saving the world. That might work.’
He shot her a look. ‘Might?’
‘True, you’d think saving your world is a good enough reason for doing anything and everything, wouldn’t you?’
‘Isn’t it?’
‘People being what people are … we’ll see.’

I want more of the magic that assassin pulled out his rear in the beginning.
So there's all these Spren all over the place - but nobody says "Hey - look at all the spren all over the place!" They're just there in the background like it's all normal - Stop ignoring all the spren! I want to know all about the spren!

Time travel. Cyborgs. You can change the past so long as it's not "recorded history" - apparently. Not sure how that works exactly but I'm going with it for now.

So we've had a Rainwilds setting, then a Liveships setting and this last story we have a Farseer setting. Very nice

Lots to look at and absorb so far. I think I need a glossary. Cool magic combat system at the beginning. What's with all these Spren creature things everywhere?

I definitely prefer Hobb to Lindholm so far.

‘Commander Hedge, how do the Bridgeburners salute?’
‘We don’t. And as for anyone outside our company, it’s this.’
Eyes widened at Hedge’s obscene gesture, and then Berrach grinned.

The ship is going down and we need to get to the launches.’
Blinking owlishly, Felash looked round. ‘That seems rather extreme.’
‘Does it?’
‘Yes. I would imagine that abandoning ship is one of the very last things one would wish to do, when at sea.’

Starting the Robin Hobb stories now. Megan Lindholm is a very good writer. She just doesn't write my kind of stories. Hopefully I'll get more from Robin Hobb of what I already like of her stories.

At some point I've realized the audio narrator has grown on me.
