I don’t know man, I think the Great Wall of china worked pretty well, or the Berlin Wall certainly worked for a while🙄 the clouded political commentary is really obnoxious.

Kinda funny, with a little seasoning of 1500s misogyny

Yet another story from the WWs that makes me confront my inability to survive in a truly harrowing time.

I was somewhat dreading starting this because I didn’t want to get stuck in a 700page fantasy clunker right now, but the good news is, while there are so many incomprehensible fantasy names thrown at you, the pace and plot is very accessible so far.

The amount of time the main character has said “I hate you” to the love interest is reminiscent of the book meme going around about the YA girl tropes. … you know the one😂

Better… but not what I expected.

"Her faith was bounded by her kitchen, but, if she was put to it, she could believe also in the banshee and the Holy Spirit."
One example of Joyce's amazing characterizations in such a brief sentence.

Breaking news, a situationship goes badly.

So charming it hurts.

Bizarre at times, but wonderfully mythic.

Cozy vibes to the max

Kinda stalling. So far, not enough time spent with the main characters for me to care.

"For men are made for happiness, and anyone who is completely happy has a right to say to himself, 'I am doing God's will on earth.' All the righteous, all the saints, all the holy martyrs were happy."
