I love reading about characters reciting lines and petty theatre troupes' arguments that immediately descend into fistfights 🙃 that was a painful chunk. Also sick of teenagers speaking with exactly the same vocabulary and tone as adults, and having Locke and Sabetha have the same conversation on a loop. Are you trying to charm her? Stfu. This one's taken a nose dive on many levels.

Just read the Magnus Holmes one and it feels very much like some seedling for where the left handed booksellers of London came from

This is a slow but steady read, it's interesting finding out the geography. So far my worst take is that I am annoyed that the map he's put in the front doesn't cover where he spends most of his time so far 🤔😂

Although I skipped The Heart of the City and the Ambrose story because they just weren't sitting right.

Just read the attempt of Wylan (and the whole gang) to explain to Colm why Jesper's in trouble. Sorry but I can't imagine anybody being so gullible when 3 people who aren't your son tell his story by half substituting sentences. Kindly, p*ss off. I liked the first book, and I loved the single chapter of Inej's I've read so far, but this book is veering towards the abandoned list.

This feels a little scattered already...

End of chapter nineteen and I hate it, the writers are evil 😭😂

I've realised I didn't read past vol.2 at all 😬

Just read Charlie Rabbit at work, what a terrible decision. That's an upsetting one.

This has made me wish Garth expanded the Shade's Children universe just as much as the Old Kingdom. Loved this short story just now!
