The audible narrator needs to learn how to pronounce “toque” 🙄

Someone’s review said “welcome back Brave Little Toaster” and as someone who loved this movie (and still gets nightmares from the A/C blowing itself up) I’m hoping this book gives off the same nostalgia vibes (hopefully without another appliance death though, I don’t think I could handle it)

This dumb little octopus is going to ruin my day and heal me all at the same time, isn’t he…

"Stop! In the name of the law!"
"What's the law's name, then?"
"How should I know!"
"Why we chasing him?"
"Because he's running away!"

Trauma doesn’t decrease with company, but it does grow easier to work through when you know someone else understands.

He looked up. “Who’s there?”
Death
“Death who?”
I wonder…can we start that again? I don’t seem to have the hang of this. It’s just that it has been suggested that I should be more of a people person

I'm reading a romance written by a MAN?! In 2026? It's Brando Sando though, so does is really count?

So far lots of world building and character intros. Already seeing some connections to the greater Cosmere story.

He hired a stylist to buy her new clothes AND UNDERWEAR without her knowing/consenting. “You don’t have much of a professional wardrobe”. The romance reader in me loooooves that but the hyper independent man-hater in me thinks he’s overstepping. They don’t even *like* each other at this point in the book.

So far it’s a *touch* on the over dramatic side for me…

85% of Darrow’s wins is because Severo is insane and likes to pop up out of random places.

There’s a lot of “this is my plan…oh no, enemies! We’re done for… Syke! *I* was the one who tricked *you* THIS was my plan all along!” In this book and it’s starting to annoy me, I can’t lie.

I don't know why this book isn't in more "Stephen King - where to start" lists.

Golden Son is stressing me out and honestly I just missed reading about dragons.

Might fa and reread Eragon next, who knows.

“No. Don’t speak. It’s not your turn just because I pause.”

GET ‘EM, MUSTANG

Pierce, can you take your foot off of your characters’ necks for JUST A SECOND?!!

I’ve been stressed for 20 chapters because you don’t give them a moment’s peace 😬😭

Darrow, Babe, 5 chapters in and we are not having a good time.

Rulers tend to dislike those who break rules.

I can totally see the Red Rising/ Will Of The Many comparisons everyone has been making.

We want you to make our boy here into a Gold.

Then it moved.
What I thought was a blanket was actually a thick ribbon of flesh that crawled, undulating with the too-fast ripple of a centipede's legs, as the thing went slithering across the ground, engulfed in bloody light.

Oh, I don’t like that.

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.
