This book has made me roll my eyes a lot so far.

“If I tell you, will you make love to me”
“I am going to make love to you regardless, but I’d appreciate you telling me”
“OK, it’s ABC, are you satisfied?”
“Not yet…”
*MC ‘rolls on top’ of other character & they make love*

Gonna be finishing this tonight :)

Such a refreshing quicker read.

Making good progress on the book since I've picked up the audiobook as well.

This book is long enough to 'attack' the book on multiple angles to get thru it :)

Trees are mad interesting.

Feeling a little crazy...

A very refreshing easy read!

Big number go up

Final ~20% of this book has been epic, looking forward to finishing soon!

Closing in...

NGL, B Sando needs to pick it up

Crazy amount of progress made while on vacation, anticipating progress slowing down some. Remembering what made me frustrated while reading this series originally - perspectives that I want to see progressing get halted from other characters POVs getting page time.

Feel like it's a bad idea to get back into the series that originally burnt me out of reading, but have heard good things about the payoff. Hold me accountable, team, on continuing progress.

The shift back to school life after the epic conclusion of book 1 has me a little sad, but understand that the story needs time to cook for better payoffs later.

😳 pt 2. Keeping spoilers light as I know there are people who frequent my feed who will want to read pending my review of the book.

OK hold on now 😳

😳

Meant to say 50% done, not 50 pages in, lol.

While progress on this book has been a little slow, I am enjoying my time with it. Kinda reads like a DnD campaign so far (not a pro but not a con). Joe Abercrombie has a very unique way of writing, being very character driven & focused, which I appreciate. No overly long exposition and worldbuilding which take you away from what's happening. Learn about the world thru the character!

Tbh I am finding this book just OK so far. Agree that some of the language used is a little cringe, the story itself feels side-questy (did I tell you about the time that we fought Naiads operating perfume shops?) Idk, maybe I need to reframe my mental / expectations.

Attempting to ease back into reading with this book, glad to be present 👍🫡

Very interesting read so far! Wish I would have read this prior to going to Chi-Town
