Steven erikson is simply the best

Sharks? Pike? Perch? Voracious minnows? Impossible! All the fish I put into this sea were friendly fish! Buckets and buckets of friendly, happy, cheery fish!
Who has done this to me? Who has- gods, horrid wife! Now at last I understand her crooked smile as she set the plate down in front of me, fish after fish, endless meals of fish! Nerve-racking smile! Uncanny smile, eyes aglint! Miserable, pultrudinous perfidy!

Thank god for Iskaral Pust the hero we need

Seven cities? Iskaral Pust?

Everyone should read this series wow

This is a very good read

'Anyx Fro invents stupid things. It's because she's basically stupid, bless her, meaning everything she invents is equally stupid. Poor Anyx.
'Does she know you think she's stupid, Stillwater?'
No, she's too stupid to know that, I think. Don't get me wrong, she's like a sister to me, the kind you try to leave behind when you go off with your friends, but then you turn around and there she is! Frustrating!

“The whole town’s gone fuck-crazy!”

These days, Stillwater wore the scarf to hide the rope tattoo encircling her neck. Some might mistake it for a noose tattoo, which was ridiculous since a noose tattoo was just asking for trouble. But a golden, finger-thick rope, looped around her neck, no beginning, no end, signifying her vocation and devotion to killing as many people as necessary, well, that was elegant.

Cancel culture is coming for Karsa Orlong (probably a good thing)

This book is a trip

Children are dying." Lull nodded. "That's a succinct summary of humankind, I'd say. Who needs tomes and volumes of history? Children are dying. The injustices of the world hide in those three words.

Not from this book but every time I check the news I am thinking about deadhouse gates - why do we always come to this place?

🦖🤝💀

Wow wow wow wow

I have had visions of the future, and each and every one of them ends up in the same place. Don't ask me what it means. I already know. That's the problem with visions of the future.

Holy SHIT this book is awesome

_In that old place where we once lived, you decried those who beat their children. Yet see what you have done to the world. You are all beaters of children._

Oh my god

Does the dead bird’s mate dream of murder?

Somehow the storytelling and prose has gotten even better, cannot wait to see how this unfolds!

My children, do you ride with me? I know you do. My children, be brave this day. See your father and know that he is proud of you all.

Absolutely brutal, heartbreaking, awful, gut wrenching

When the first one spoke, the voice formed words in his head. ‘Great One, we are abject. We grovel in servitude-’
The other cut in, ‘Does she believe all that? Keep trying!’

‘Be quiet, Telorast! How can I concentrate on lying with you barging in all the time! Now shhh! Oh, never mind, it’s too late-look at them, they can both hear us. You, especially.’

“Where are we?”
“The Wastelands.”
“Ah, that explains it, then”
“Explains what?”
“Why, all this… waste.”

He knew that a murderer now stalked him. There was no reason for it. He’d done nothing to deserve this.

Unless, of course, one counted a lifetime of treachery.

Perfect book for mowing and driving, so much political intrigue
