ATTENTION ALL I HAVE FINISHED THE OLD TESTAMENT

i am so bad at spanish

RIP Mary Queen of Scots you would have got on well with JFK

Mate this has to be my most anticipated review

If I were Antonia Fraser’s partner, I would be deeply concerned by how visibly infatuated she is with a weird and at least faintly genocidal dead guy.

They're STILL salty about Gibraltar???

Bro I needed something light so bad I don’t even care that it isn’t that good

Progress on this increased a thousandfold when I stopped manually writing out full English translations of every single page and just googled words I didn't know.

Literally mad progress. Another 1%. How boring do you reckon the other books I'm reading have to be to make me pick up THE BIBLE over them????

“Cromwell acted in a fit of uncontrollable passion, the kind of sudden beserk fury of which his career provides a number of bouts, including the famous massacre of Drogheda. In each case, he felt himself suddenly assailed by some unlooked-for piece of aggression or double-dealing, and reacted accordingly.”

Ah yes, he totally “reacted accordingly” when he slaughtered all those Irish children. What a guy.

Antonia Fraser is very thorough (derogatory).

This treats women like pieces of meat. I am so deeply uncomfortable.

That's right gang 1% progress let's go

Tell me why he’s fighting Minecraft hoglins and the male ones are “knights” but the female ones are “courtesans”, despite both being warriors. In fact, he clearly thinks he’s being progressive because the female ones are higher level. But they are wearing “some sort of weird BDSM getup”. What the HELL

I’d heard such good things about this. Alas, it is poorly written and also sexist. It feels like I am listening to a man tell me about his D&D campaign.

Boringgg

I love big women

The amount of times something not that confusing happens and then a character monologues an explanation in italics... T Kingfisher I am not actually reading upside down with one eye closed and am as a result capable of parsing basic sentences

Every character sucks more than the last!
