| Another winner in this extremely fun series. This book felt a little more up-and-down with the amount of new information, and the addition of new teachers to the cast, but it was still a blast. Anequs continues to be a refreshing character who has ze ...more | |

| More like 3.5 stars. I actually disliked this one more than most Malazan readers seem to, because again the gore and horror got to ridiculous levels. The Children of the Dead Seed were utterly horrifying as a concept but also a little bit cartoonish ...more | |

| This is a really fascinating early version of the "butterfly effect" story in which someone is continually changing the present by vivid dreams about peaceable changes to the past. A therapist is trying to effect the changes on the timeline by influe ...more | |

| A LOT here in this book, as anyone who has tackled Malazan will know. I found this one both more and less enjoyable than Gardens of the Moon. More enjoyable because the character arcs felt more defined; less enjoyable because it got really gruesome, ...more | |

I have actually read this book thrice, although the first two times were just me kind of trying to figure out what was happening, which explains why the third time was much more enjoyable. The books are deliberately written to be challenging, but once ...more |

of
Forget Them Kids: Challenging the One-Sided Narrative of the Estrangement Epidemic and the Biased Therapy Trends That Fuel it:
"What a vile piece of hypocritical gaslighting trash. You want to know why her kids estranged her? Read her book. I also find it extremely funny how the title was changed from "Fuck them kids" to "Forget them kids". Why did it get changed? Too obvious"

F*ck Them Kids: Challenging the One-Sided Narrative of the Estrangement Epidemic and the Biased Therapy Trends That Fuel it:
"Anyone who feels this book pertains to them should take a long and gentle look at themselves. Echo chambers are probably not your friend. "

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life:
The Lord of the Rings
and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."
