Ayla should have let Jonny Big-D die and take over as leader of the S'Armunai.

Ayla: "I need to you to communicate and stop making decisions unilaterally based on how you assume I think or feel."
J: "K"
Also J: "I'mma gonna hide that I changed our cross-continental route to one I am unsure of and imply I know this route and have used it before."

Ayla: "I need to you to communicate and stop making decisions unilaterally based on how you assume I think or feel."
J: "K"
Also J: "I'mma gonna hide knocking up this girl because my gf couldn't handle the news."

Ayla explains Wolf is her surrogate son, and she's lost 3 'sons' in her life. Begs J to find him when he's lost and she's sick. J promises he would, but inner dialogue suggests he does not GAF and he runs to do errands first. Ayla goes off to find dog and does, implying J could have found him a lot more quickly and easily. He's mad she doesn't trust him...but she was RIGHT

Also I accidentally only bought the fourth book, so perhaps I’m just not well familiarized by the books’ world as I should be?? Still, I’m not sure I want to have 3 whole books of this stuff in my brain 🫣

I might have to alter my book rating system because WHAT EVEN IS THIS BOOK?!? This is the only paperback I packed on my vacation and I don’t know how I’ll manage to get through almost 800 pages of this absolute literary crime.

(no biggie maar tegen het eind van de reeks hebben ze quantummechanica onder de knie holy tech tree progression)

omg Jean heeft eindelijk door dat niet elke keer dat Jondalar en Ayla geslachtsgemeenschap hebben - wat ENORM vaak is - ook effectief (in pijnlijk veel detail) beschreven moet worden - een toespeling op het gebeuren ervan volstaat.
