Hickory Dock
Hickory Dock is 30% done with Headshot
It's fun seeing into the heads of all the teen boxer characters with all the electric zing and warp of that age. Sometimes I'll be reading it going like 'haha lol she's so crazy' and then five pages later I'm like 'ohhh she's actually crazy,' I'm a big fan

Ishmael and Queequeg are so cute together. It's actually nice like I'm not even going to say it's doomed yaoi. It's doomed shounen ai with proper development.

Hickory Dock is 60% done with How High We Go in the Dark
The setting and glimpses of the nature of the disease we get is amazing. I love the backdrop it makes against all these loosely connected stories. I peeked at the reviews to this already tho and ngl, it gets a little repetitive that all the characters like the same oldies bands and talk the same, even when they're (supposed to be) very different people. I don't think I like the space stuff yet.

Hickory Dock is 32% done with Silver Nitrate
Such a promising set-up and character cast! I'm really excited to see how it all unfolds from here. <spoiler>I predict Montserrat and Tristan are going to sneakily complete the ritual for Montserrat's sister, against Abel's wishes, exactly the reverse of the original spell's situation. Abel finds out about this too late but just early enough to fuck up the spell for them, then... consequences!</spoiler>

I dig the vibe sometimes but it literally just feels like R-rated edgy Percy Jackson so far. Neil Gaiman has also joined the coterie of 'authors who should be quieter about their attraction to women'. Why would you write about how one could see "every goosebump on her areolae"? Can you talk about her personality first lol.

Hickory Dock is 30% done with The Complete Stories
I try to analyze each story as I finish reading them, but I can't tell if I'm kidding myself or managing to sync up to Kafka's brainwaves from a century ago. His plots and characters are metaphors and symbols stripped bare, so it can be hard to tell what directions he's going before it smacks us in the face.

Hickory Dock
Hickory Dock is on page 135 of 410 of Spare
He&his ghostwriter has a great way with words, but the longer I read, despite my sympathies, the more I find out idgaf. I thought this book would be a good introductory dip into the royal stuff and the whole topic's just not for me. I hope he's happy with his new life! I don't think I'll finish this.

i think tyrion is grrm's gary stu moral self-insert when he feels a bit too slimy after all the rape and incest he writes. yeah this series isnt about good people but like literally all the female characters are either mothers, abuse victims, incestuous, or ugly (this category has only 1 character). i just want good things for the starks......

The lore's great when it happens but holy shit there's so much incest, I can practically hear GRRM breathing heavily on each page. I might drop the series if he keeps on with the inbreeding and unironic Electra complex. idk why he decided to make the 1st book's plot twists revolve around incest since according to the rest of his writing, it's barely a taboo at all
