Getting kinda close to DNFing this. It's such a shame, but I am just finding the writing very not engaging, and I'm having trouble focusing. Even though I find what is going on interesting, the way it is written is just not grabbing me.

Really enjoying this book, but it is a bit long-winded, so I'm finding it a little difficult to get into a rhythm of reading it.

"Trazyn the Infinite, Overlord of Solemnace, Archaeovist of the Prismatic Galleries and witness of a thousand epochs stared with fascination at the puppet show."

I love this book.

Picked up the audiobook of this, and I think it definitely helps the story flow smoother.

This book is so much fun.

There was a lot of discourse around whether or not the Horus Heresy series is a good introduction to the Warhammer 40K universe. I am starting to understand why people caution against it.

I have a feeling this newfound fascination with Warhammer 40K is going to end very badly for me, and my wallet.

In true Steven Erikson fashion, the second I complain about the pacing, it gets turned up to 11. Good grief.

The Letheras plot is SUCH A SLOG. Why is this happening? Why did he write this? My eyes are starting to glaze over any time Bugg is the POV. Kettle is still interesting, though. And I'm all in with the Tiste Edur plot. But the Bugg plot.. WHY.

Like all Richard Swan books, I am absolutely devouring this. Incredible stuff.

I am kinda torn on whether or not I like this book. I thought being thrown back in time in a different environment would be more interesting, but I'm struggling to learn a completely new cast of characters in completely new places. I also haven't really been grabbed by the Letheras storyline yet. Some interesting threads there though that I hope bear fruit soon.

The civil engineer in me is absolutely loving the Bugg's Construction plot line.
