Yes of course the ant colony slaves are simply doing what they are made to do ... where have i heard this before

Spider yuri

And a spider stealing an ant colony's "eye of the gods" via spider web parachute escape

Of all the things i expected from this book i didnt expect matriarchal evolutionary nanovirus-augmented spider society

Awwww

"Charred body of God" is a crazy expression

Unexpectedly hopeful end to that... seems almost like false optimism with the whole last-second insane creatures of Winter reveal but theyve lasted 600 years theyll be fineee.

no way, an unhuman creature that comes out when winter comes. Where Have I seen This Before?

I like that the names of stuff the stranded humans have are like fucked versions of english. Erkar is probably air car, thiatr is probably theatre. Interesting that the place they all sleep in is the thiatr tho. maybe thiatr is the atrium??

"metal reed with a flower on top which you turned to make water run out of the reed" is the prettiest description of a faucet ive read

Probably so the whole joining up with the league of planets or whatever its called isnt rooted in getting one billion technology. Or just the whole not giving a modern smartphone to someone from the 1600s. But the invention of the wheel?!

Space cultural embargo is lowkey insane

paragraph right after says its earth years oops

There is no fucking way they went 600 Years (Or is it normal years here?) without learning how to use wheels

I expect the winds of winter to be as gloomy as this chapter. Winter comes, the first guy that dies, dies from his kinsman, his brother. Infighting before the war even reaches them

Omg im so stupid how did i not see that connection

LMAO SO THATS WHAT THAT FANART OF A DOLL WAS

First book where I'm 80 pages in and only 2 chapters in and still have no idea what the fuck is happening but I still enjoy it. The name "Darujhistan" is taking me the fuck out tho lmao

ngl we gotta slime out francis dolarhydes entire fucking family man what the fuck was that

Peeking into other sciences and not knowing whether the author's making shit up or whether they genuinely Know is a fun feeling like yeah man "theyre gonna fractionate the fluids from the ashes early in the chromatograph, leaving the fluids for fine analysis"

Today I learned what actuarial life tables are. Ngl if i was hannibal stuck in that room w nothing but books id be interested in random shit like that too

Francis Dolarhyde, a totally non-serial-killer name

i fuckin love how ANNOYING this guy is man "Ahah, I KNOW THE TIMES OF THE DAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, YOU DONT HAVE TO LIST THEM DOWN FOR ME! It was the afternoon, I think"

What the fuck alana bloom and freddie lounds are MEN in the books?? What a great change the show did lol

Im surprised at how close the shows dialogue is to this wow

one thing about le guin is youll feel the COLD of alien worlds

Winter coming, long seasons, a great unified enemy, Where have I seenthis before

The four seasons take fucking 15 years altogether??? Jesus

Assuming this is where grrm got the idea of super long seasons from Woah

Wait did GRRM take the megaprologue idea from this?
