60 pages left and nothing, I repeat, NOTHING is solved and now I'm stressed what the hell. And where are my boys' moments? we just got two pages of Din and Strovi talking with each other after long winding pages of that bullshit house tour. Oh I'm not happy, sir.

dude, I still don't know what the tainted cup is

dude, I still don't know what the tainted cup is

If Captain Strovi ends up being a killer or killed, I'll be so pissed. I'M SHIPPING HIM AND DIN SO HARD kjhsdfshfdkd *giggling and kicking my feet*

"So it really happened: U-4987, Sunshine, has bitten out the part of Marie that cared about him." NOW I'M SAAAD

50 pages left and we still don't come close to the denouncement. I'm going to make a short-sighted guess and say it's the sister!

I don't know anything anymore. My prime suspects are simple, obvious choices, yet I keep thinking about the pen!

I'm going to take a guess: Melissa doesn't die? She's staged up her own murder, so she can get away with her life etc.

There must be something to do with that old-new pen.

The tension that can make an invisible particle sizzle in the thin muted air. The tea is spilled, my friend.

'Funny things, everything comes around to this circle' and it's just me reading Discworld with a not-so-subtle satire on Midsummer Night's Dream. We have the Mechanicals, Summers changing to Winter, doppelgänger of two young witches, and the changeling Casananda?

A whiplash prophetic moment when you just read passed the sentence: “a country started a war to unite their people” and a few hours later the US just attacked Iran for the flimsiest reasons…

The characters are just as horribly bland as porridge in my sick days

OHMYGOD OHMYGODDDDD

My bet is on John Foster being Barney's secret identity. Is it too good to be true? Sure. Do I object to the idea? Definitely not.

I’m not so ready to finish it

Tom and Dessi Hamilton would stay with me forever.

Why do people have to be so mean?? *proceed to like mean characters*

I'm thoroughly fascinated by Cathy and Liza, especially Cathy. What a character! So compelling, so wicked, yet so amoral. Call me vile but I'd like to see Adam break and never be recovered.

Did Lem just make a critique about pattern recognition and its overly mislead intellectualism?

Reading this after Dark Forest makes me realize how stiff and clunky sentence structures in Martinsen’s English translation are; sentences and words in Adele Milch’s translation of Lem’s work just flows naturally. Maybe it’s the cultural nuance thing.

Colonel Scott on Enterprise ship… I see what you’re doing here Liu
