I can’t believe this is the SECOND time Robin Hobb has killed off a piece of shit husband before the wife could get a divorce… It’s a positive result anyway but still…

I think we actually might get Alise that divorce!!!!!

Poor Selden, everyone else is in a fantasy novel and he’s stuck playing Jonathan Harker in Chalcedean Dracula

Bird keeper Kim’s days are numbered if he’s managed to piss Ronica Vestrit off!!!

The return of the Malta pov yippee!!!! I hope she actually does get to take an active role in these council meetings, I think it would be a nice continuation from the negotiating experience she got in Liveship

Extremely excited that the pigeon keeper beef is back

Can’t help but think that Thymara’s whole thing of not having to pick a boy to pair herself off with would be more effective if she didn’t kiss someone two pages later… classic Robin Hobb though!

Congrats on Sedric for confirming my theories and actually being in some semblance of a relationship with Hest, not just pining sadly after a married man but surely there were better men in Bingtown???? Also Alise is NOT going to be happy when she finds out, she doesn’t deserve this on top of everything else

I’m really invested in this pigeon keeper beef now

I was not expecting the five year time skip but you know it makes sense given the gap between Liveship and Tawny Man. Poor Alise really didn’t deserve five years of that though, my need for her to be the first Bingtown woman to get a divorce has increased tenfold!!!!

And we’re back!!! Pretty good start, the four teens seem interesting. Alise is great!!! I hope she gets the ending Malta and Keffria didn’t (divorce). Intrigued to see how the three Bingtowners will end up in the Rain Wilds with Thymara. And how the Leftrin plot and bird keepers stuff will tie in as well. Lots of places for the plot to go!!! Also hope Malta shows up soon, I miss her :(

Okay the reviews were not lying when they said The First Binding was just a bad rip off of this, this is so much better

Grand Guignol was a GREAT arc, really good to see the culmination of Robinson’s reinvention of the shade, REALLY sad ending though wtf. Do wish the narration boxes would occasionally pick more legible fonts though.

Space adventures were great fun!!! The Krypton one and the final issue were particularly good. Really enjoying the job this comic does of reconciling all the previous starmen into one coherent narrative but I am excited to get back to Opal and our fave recurring cast, featuring Ralph and Sue as well this time!!!

Returning to the world of ‘90s comics <3333 and wow were these first nine issues action packed. We got the justice league, the legion, Jack and Mikaal going to space, time travel, major Shade moments, it just keeps getting better!!! The moment between Jack and Umbra when they talked about random trivia was really fun as well, I love nerds.

Only had time to read the prologue tonight but I’m already extremely invested!!!! It looks like we’re in for some complicated politics which I always enjoy.
