Kaladin is trying his best to protect them all. I love him. His rant to the crew tugged my heart 🥺💖

Love that Moash saved his life and is now cool with him

I’m finally back to Dalinar and Adolin! I completely get Dalinar’s decision to abdicate, but since the visions are so important I don’t think it’s the best decision yet. Though Adolin like his father would definitely be the most honorable and competent highprince.

I’m fascinated by the implications behind the Almighty’s predictions of the future

I’m down for the Dalinar and Navani ship

Szeth is truly death. This was a parade of brutality. Part of me wants to cry for him. He’s clearly suffering and doesn’t want to be a killer. Part of me also wants to yell at him for following such an evil order. What the hell happened in the past for him to be so self-hating???

Terrific writing in motion

Noooooo this is how Kaladin becames a slave?! All because Amaram wants the Shards for himself. AlEtHkAr my ass! You’re a wicked fucking bastard fuck you! I feel so bad for Kal I wanted to cry 😭🖕🏾

Well shit. Kinda feels like the depressing end of Shallan’s arc. I hope Shallan and Jasnah can become friends again :(

Bro why did Kabsal do that? I was starting to like him :(

🎶Let’s get down to business. To escape the Plains.🎶

I’m sure something is going to go terribly wrong, but it’s great seeing Kaladin train the bridgemen. Really hope at the very least his plan to gather objects from the chasms works.

It’s been so long since I last read a Stormlight fight scene. Storms and damnation, Kaladin is badass. I’m a little peeved he didn’t take the Shardblade but I get his decision. Lighteyes suck and it was just used to slaughter his squad. He may have missed a lot of opportunities, but he’s justified. He needs a hug.

Okay I just passed the part of chapter 46 where Kaladin rode through the highstorms.

I have a lot to say here. But my theory is that before Tanavast / Honor died, he foresaw a purpose for Kaladin. Maybe like Dalinar and his visions, Kaladin has a purpose foreseen by the Almighty. Something the Stormfather knows.

In Kaladin’s case, his purpose is to do something with the broken and abandoned Oathpact

I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT!!! SHALLAN HAS A SHARDBLADE!!! AND SHE USED IT TO KILL SOMEONE!!!

SHALLAN IS BEING FOLLOWED BY STRANGE CREATURES! I THINK THEY ARE SPREN!!

SHE DID A SOULCASTING!!!! BUT HOW?! I’M SO CONFUSED!!!

Tien was just drafted into the army, and Kaladin volunteered to go with him. This will go badly… Can someone please kill this hoe Roshone???

Last time I updated my progress, I finished chapter 39. Since then I’ve finished 40, 41, 42 and 43.

Think I finished 40 and 41 back in September

42 and 43 were finished today during snowmageddon. Great way to pass the time. Proud of myself.

Holy shit… Ozymandias won! And he’s right! He saved the world and there’s nothing the trio can do to stop him!!! They don’t have any reliable means to expose him. And even if they did, it would destroy world peace and unity between all nations.

Ozymandias’ plan has been revealed. This is one of the greatest reveals I’ve seen in fiction. From one of the most insidious antagonists I’ve seen yet.

I also love how this subverts the usual comic book trope of monologuing.

The world is close to nuclear war. The apocalypse is almost here. And our duo has found out Ozymandias is behind everything.

Two chapters left. I’m anxious.

Chapter 9 might be my favorite chapter so far. And the most powerful. This comic is a masterpiece. The art. The big twist of Laurie’s parentage. Laurie’s optimism. Dr. Manhattan being tired of humanity. His belief in fatalisim. His scene at the end while the panels pan out of Mars and into space. It’s all beautiful.

RIP Hollis Mason. The original Nite-Owl. That was brutal…

I’m on chapter 8. It’s pretty difficult to give my thoughts on Watchmen so far. It’s very dense. I definitely need to give this a reread, and read the in-book supplementary material, in the future. But it’s definitely great.

I just buried my Watchmen updates underneath the addition of 200 books to my TBR. I have a problem 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Chapter 6 is Rorschach’s backstory. Holy shit… this guy is fucked up.

Moloch put Rorschach into the palm of NYPD’s hand, then killed himself. Someone tried to assassinate Veidt. Laurie is now living with Dreiberg.

We get more of Rorschach being a crazy, unhinged asshole. And it seems he’s the “The end is nigh” guy.

Issue 4 is superb. It’s about the attributes that made Jon Osterman into Dr. Manhattan. The accident that transformed him. His ability to constantly see the future. His ability to control particles with a single thought. His detachment from humanity. It’s all great to read through.

Finished issue 3. This is a Dr. Manhattan. He’s been outed as a walking cancer factory. He’s left Earth to be on Mars. He can’t relate emotionally or sexually to human beings. Instead of expressing emotions he experiments with particles. He’s normally a calm cucumber but during his interview he lashed out. And it seems like he was once a normal human being before becoming Dr. Manhattan.

Poor guy 😭

Finished chapter 2. It goes through multiple eras of Edward Blake’s life. Touches upon his connection to other superheroes. He’s a sick rapist asshole who slaughtered Vietnamese and harmed protestors. And he didn’t truly want to help people as a superhero. Only cared for himself. But at the end of his life, it seems he fears activities connected to an island and Dr. Manhattan. I wonder what he was on about.

Finally finished chapter 1. Things are shaping up to be an interesting mystery that delves into the history of this world’s superheroes. Along with their connection to the governments.

Rorschach is an unhinged, condescending asshole with gross conservative overtones.

That excerpt about the Nite Owl was… certainly something. Hope it gets more interesting. But I like how DC heroes are fictional in this world.

If you say “Six Seven” in 2026, you need to join the Please Please Please Get A Life Foundation 😭😭😭✋🏾✋🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I’ve only finished one book in 2025. I’m the most washed nerd ever. Gotta lock in and finish this book come 2026.
