Status Updates From The Book of Night with Moon...

Good

i like the wizard cats, of course, but i think a lot of the long sciencey descriptions of magic and gates and webs and etc is just leaving me tired

The other language is very confusing because all the words are similar. Also I don’t need all this description about the streets and buildings. I’m getting bored

“Bite: bite hard, and find the tenth life.”

It fixes the bits that annoy me as it goes along. But I still find this book to feel very protracted.

A little too long, a little too abstract, a little too much wandering around.

"This book is so ultimately and charmingly a product of its time." RE: the science of the dinosaurs as well, who by current thinking didn't just All Die Off but in some instances survived to evolve into birds, implying a Choice (in the philosophical terms of Duane's cosmos) paralleling that of the cats, with the Hungry and the Mindful. But I'm still rereading, with vague memories of an intelligent dino coming up.
