“Have you looked around at the state of things lately?” Lady Hollowvale asked dryly. “Any really decent man ought to be angry, you’d think.”

Olia is on page 130 of 240 of Chernobyl Roulette: War in the Nuclear Disaster Zone
"The war in Ukraine has already turned nuclear". A good reminder to the world that russia's attack on Ukraine's civilian infrastructure is not limited to thermal power stations but extends to the nuclear reactors, including the largest NPP in Europe.

(Trigger warnings all over if you've been impacted by war/Chornobyl disaster though so proceed with caution)

A very dark twist on the death of the author theory. I'm generally not a fan of the genre but this is sufficiently disturbing and bleak for me to enjoy (love the pride but I can definitely see why some people felt it was excessive)

I'm not as confused as I was 50 pages ago but I'm still very much confused.

If he writes I'll read it. And then I'll listen to the audiobook for a good measure

The prose is so good I almost forget how confusing the magic system is

I spent 7 years in academia before leaving due to the salad of all of the wrongs and inhuman treatment in the field so you'd think the book would resonate with me at some level. Instead I've been rolling my eyes so much they are about to pop out 🥲

So far it's like reading the ninth house but make it hellishly boring

It just occurred to me that we are yet to learn why/how exactly he is using his magic. So far it seems like even if it's gone he can still kill everyone with a shoelace and boring dialogue lines

I'm conflicted. It was fun to see very obvious and hilariously painful references to modern academia, but it's starting to get a bit too much. I'm also not convinced that thesaurus sparing which boils down to insulting each other's intellect is a witty banter...

What fun! And how oddly satisfying it is to read about lab equipment I actually know about in a fiction book.

Ugh... He really did women dirty in this series. Every woman in this series is just a decoration, incompetent, overly emotional or all of the above plus manipulative. I'm also baffled by the amount of the "good russian servicemen/spies" characters throughout the story. Just..why?

I can't believe I rated this 4 last year, such a good book, and much darker than I remember it - probably because of the Lord Sorcier which puts a lot of small things into a different perspective

I really wanted to like it but I'm really struggling with the pacing. I really hope things will pick up soon

We are about to go from disliking the king to straight out loathing him, aren't we?

I refuse to DNF but with attention span of a barn swallow this is the most agonisingly slow book I've ever picked up. We are at midpoint and nothing happened yet (except for the secondary character being resurrected in the most underwhelming way possible).
