On Mars there is not much gravity. So you have to pull the feet to break the neck. They let the loved ones do it

Hell of a first paragraph.

“I have been hearing sounds in the mine. Not the creaks or knocks that are common in mines, but peculiar sounds, as of something moving around within it.”

Oh, no thank you.

rip Glokta. You would have loved a chiropractor.

I don’t know what it says about me but my favourite characters (in any book) are always a little (a lot) unhinged.

“The circle” was one of the best battle scenes I’ve ever read. Not even the battle itself but everything happening around it.

Dow leaned down, stuck two fingers into one of the holes Dogman’s knife had made, pulled them out and smeared blood across one side of his face He is insane and I love it

All he could think about was the cold feeling in his stomach (IYKYK!!!)

KING O’ THE NORTHMEN

Logan wanted to care. But the Bloody-Nine cares for nothing.

Back with my favourite band of very morally grey people.

Glokta is such an ass but makes me laugh every time he’s on the page. One of my favourite fantasy characters ever.

“If it’s morse, you got it figured out?”
“C-O-M-E O-U-T”

Absolutely the F not ✋🏻🙅🏻‍♀️

So that part with Kang (and the thing before that pierced the wall) literally gave me chills and I am SPOOKED!

Robots and space, possibly aliens? I love it.

How am I only 32% in? I have been reading this book for just over 2 weeks and feel like I’ve made no progress even though I’m loving it so far??

<spoiler>the 3 worlds/3 Vis POVs have been so fun but do get a bit confusing. You’re just getting into one POV before being yanked into another. Also not *a lot* has happened yet, but hoping it will pick up soon!</spoiler>

Rotting gods. He’s terrified! Gods-dammed unable to breathe utterly fearful of what we’re doing to him. And helpless to stop it.”

I don’t know why [redacted] using [redacted] is upsetting me so much. I’m so mad about it.

This is a book that benefits from a reread. I loved it the first time around but I’m enjoying it just as much if not more this time. Part 1 still took me a bit to get through but as soon as Vis gets to the Academy the pace picks right up and it’s my favourite part. I’m at the can’t put the book down but also can’t be sleep deprived at work stage. Hoping to finish this tomorrow!

Re-read before book 2. I remember when I first read this book the first half took me fooooreverrrr to get through. Enjoying it much more the second time around.

Still confused about the hierarchy and pyramids, but we're going to keep it moving.

Why am I reading this at 11pm??

It turns out crypts are very creepy and so are footprints that keep appearing out of nowhere…

That was a hell of a first chapter… wow.

Also it might feel too soon to read a book about the pandemic but we’ll see.

WHAT?! [redacted] is actually dead?? What in the sixth sense?

Amanda walking into the house with the bloody footprints?? That was terrifying.

I don’t know how he was able to write this scene with so much tension but I was on edge the entire time.

When your BIL tells you to read a book, you read the book.

I’m loving the spooky books lately (‘tis the season) and my favourites involve someone being possessed or *something* in a house. This seems to be exactly what I’m looking for.

“the Post Office. It was here that Sophie had gone when she stumbled into Withered Hill a year ago, naked, adorned in earth and twigs and leaves and insects, shorn of memory.”

“Perhaps they are going to help her. The man pulls out a…mask? No, a pigs head. He puts it on top of his own head then pushes it down until it covers his face. Then they lift their right arm and point further along the road…”

I bought "What Feasts at Night" not realizing it was book two in a series. So starting at the beginning! This is a The Fall of the House of Usher retelling, which I haven't read so might pick it up as well depending on how much I enjoy this..

This man compared her to a tarsier… look it up. I don’t think it was the compliment he thought it was 😅

Oh, it’s a cult

Ngl, I jumped when they saw the guy in the window.

(Maybe spoiler?)

Wasn’t this a Supernatural episode? The one with the apple orchard, the pagan god, and the sacrifices?

I knew this would be my fate when it came to loving her. She was everlasting; she was destined to come and go, like the cycle of seasons. And what was I? A humble mortal cursed to age and die. I was rooted to the ground, destined to return to the earth as dust.
I could not hold her any more than I could the wind, but l loved her for it.
