Status Updates From The Will to Battle (Terra I...

Le bonheur de lire des pages et des pages de textes réglementaires après avoir passé du temps au taff à lire des pages et des pages de textes réglementaires :)

Lire ça à 6h30 dans le train a tué mon cerveau pour la journée 😂

Achilles is resonating with me soo much...at this rate he may supplant Luu Bu as the 3rd most impactful warrior character I've read of in this year; no way he surpasses either or both of Hadrian and Dorillian as 1 and 2 (or could he? Can Ada Palmer pull it off? 👀)

Bravo Mycroft. After countless presumptions about my (as the reader) reactions to the text, this is the first time you've read me to the T lol (closest was with the Hobbes reading entreaty and even that I preemptively decided to anyway hehe)

Wow JEDD may be the single best manipulator I've come across. Such a sleazy and saintly figure all at once

Between Mycroft & JEDD, I can't tell which is the most delusional one... Mycroft is the narrator so Mason may just be extension of his delusion.. it gotta be him. The single legitimately clinically insane narrator I've come across. Man has psychotic episodes every other paragraph.

annot imagine a future where geographical assets do not hold intrinsic value so makes sense the bets of the Mitsubishi's here end up paying off astronomically. Fingers crossed 🤞🏽

Well Ada Palmer herself... erm Mycroft himself urging us to read up on Thomas Hobbes lol. But as the young reader answers, that will all have to wait until after the story I'm afraid.

“War is not just battle, but that tract of time wherein the Will to Battle is so manifest that humankind can no longer trust itself to keep the peace. We are at war.”

Yeah I'll need to dive into Hobbes once I'm done with Terra Ignota.

"reduced muscle to meat"
Love this description and I'm surprised I've never seen any writer use it to describe necrosis before now.

An unlikely Sun Eater crossover but the more surprising thing is the took me this long to put two and two together about Delos being Hadrian, the Sun Eater's birthplace as well as Apollo's, the Greek god of Sun and Light among other things 😅

Thank you Ada Palmer for reinvigorating my love for my favourite historical legend 🖤
