Melia is finished with Son of Nobody
Note for review later, page 88: "History however true, needs interpreting, and fiction, however invented, arises from life and reflects it." Ongoing motif interplay Homeric legends have between history and fiction.

Look- Star Wars is my one true love and I am willing to ignore so many flaws in the name of spending time in this universe.

I understand it's realistic, but does anyone enjoy dialogue written with this many "okays" and "I don't knows"

They ask Fitz to solve problems as though his "being okay" track record isn't abysmal.

This book is very burdened by its own world-building when it could be focusing on character arcs.

Melia is 78% done with Le Morte d'Arthur: King Arthur and the Legends of the Round Table
"Merlin made the round table in tokening of the roundness of the world" so in 1469 we're all on the same page on the world being round, but in 2025, SOME PEOPLE

Le Morte d'Arthur: King Arthur and the Legends of the Round Table

Melia
Melia is on page 110 of 512 of Le Morte d'Arthur: King Arthur and the Legends of the Round Table
And another reason Le Morte d'Arthur is crazy is that the chapter titles are waaaay too nonchalant. Book IV chapter I is titled "How Merlin was assotted and doted on one of the ladies of the lake, and how he was shut in a rock under a stone and there died."

And the chapter is TWO PAGES LONG.

Fewer than 40 pages into Le Morte d'Arthur, Merlin has TWICE magically disguised himself to give tidings to Arthur. And both times when Arthur is like "well who are you that I should listen?" To which Merlin is immediately like "Tis I, Merlin" and Arthur is like ah you again you silly wizard. Like. Are the disguises just for fun.

This is literally going to take me forever to finish because it's so good that sometimes I'll finish a page, and then go right back up the top to read the page again.

Giving up on about halfway through. Everything is a little underdeveloped and the pacing is throwing me off. Maybe I'll come back to this when I'm more in the mood.

This book is really good, but for something so short it feels like we're mostly done by the 60% point.

I totally forgot that the early chapters include a sweet little Penelope-Odysseus moment too. Now I want Madeline Miller to write about every famous mythical romance (even the murder ones)
