essun is a better woman than me, if I woke up to a weird ass obviously-not-human kid with creepy eyes and a mud problem staring at me I'd ditch him as soon as possible

Many thanks to James acaster for telling me what a crèche is, it's come in clutch a surprising amount of times so far

B&N took so long to deliver the third book that I forgot everything that happened

Elon genuinely believing Big Alabama blew up his rocket by shooting it with a sniper rifle is not remotely surprising to me

SR-71 BLACKBIRD MENTIONED 😍🦅😘

rated 2/4 of my most recently read books 5 stars, time to read some dogshit

i fully believe crowley's sunglasses keep him sane and underpowered. if aziraphale had realized this sooner and just "accidentally" broken them, none of the events of this book would have happened because crowley would have teleported right to the antichrist's location and strangled him with his bare hands

"...but in a computer the score is able to represent every detail necessary to reproduce the original--the tuning of the instruments, the bowing of the violins, even the mood of an orchestra" Nuh uh, someone's never dealt with musescore before

"Crowley always found [satanists] embarrassing. You couldn't actually be rude to them, but you couldn't help feeling about them the same way that, say, a Vietnam veteran would feel about someone who wears combat gear to Neighborhood Watch meetings." the first half of this book is the best book of all time

If I could have one superpower from this book it would be the plant torture one, which is objectively the least powerful one but it's so fucking funny
