Oh :( Oh no, buddy, you don't... you don't have a name?

I know the whole premise of this book is "People on a planet doomed to be lethally radioactive try to redeem themselves by being the most unhinged, at-the-ready, loyalist militia" thing, but you're telling me the people of Krieg don't have their own NAMES?

"There is no peace amongst the stars, for in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war" (0).

DAMN!! *And* you're saying the planet is dead? All the readings confirm this? Well, shoot... we might be out of luck, fellas!

....... What?

I'm so ecstatic that this has occurred. There is a greater power and it abandoned Pete when he didn't deserve it.

"They had done so even before they were dogs" (176). PETE DARLING WHEN I GET MY TEETH ON YOU!!!! WHEN I GET A HOLD OF YOU!!! YOU'LL NEVER RECOVER!!!

I HAAAAATE YOU PETE DARLING

"'A man's wedding is a fearful thing'" (121).

Sounds to me like you're scared, Boulder (Pete). C'mere and let me knock some sense into your head. With my brass knuckles.

Say it with me, folks: you cannot trust the men in this story.

Jorgen what do you MEAN YOU WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM SHOOTING ANY POACHER? HOW ABOUT THE PRETTY LADY YOU'RE HEAD OVER HEELS FOR? HUH?

"'What are you suggesting--that I'm making it up? That I'm mad?'" (89).

Well, yeah, Pete. And I'm mad at you and also I'm coming to bite your throat out. Leave the girls alone and drown yourself in the drying river before you marry Agnes and ruin her life.

Pete Darling, I hope the dogs eat you alive.

Girl I stg if you don't have your hair tied up sensibly while you shoot archery, I'm going to start hoping the guy catches you.

I am... rapidly having trouble convincing myself this book is worth finishing. The writing alone is reminding me of what my 10th graders submit in their essays, and while that can occasionally make an interesting novel (even a nonfiction one), it's more distracting than anything in this case.

Lansford Hastings, you had better PRAY from the great beyond that I never find a time machine. What an ass.

Oh my God? Oh, my God.

Ovid, I'm so sorry I was right.

Also what is it with fictional men's families being killed while they're away? If I had a nickel yada yada.

Nancy. Nancy, I'm very worried you're going to die and leave Ovid alone. Nancy? Nancy!!!
