Well at least he's out. Faking broken ribs was so obvious. Everyone is crazy gullible in this book.

I think I skipped over book 5, must go back. More vampire stuff. I was hoping we mix it up. Maybe he will stomp out on the Courts this book so we can get into other crazy monsters. A cute dog is a nice addition.

Did not expect a kidnapping. These Aes Sedai from the tower are bitches! Exploding bodies too! Didn't think combat would turn so gruesome

23rd voyage. Lands on planet where inhabitants can be atomized to get through the night or even times of boredom and be recreated. Onto 25th voyage.

Silly story of Ijon looking for his penknife. He ended up on a planet where the Catholic priests were attempting a mission for some aliens. They took everything quite literally and tortured the priest so he would become a martyr.

Some conversations of Matt meeting up with the girls and Min reuniting with Rand. Also the Aes Sedai emissaries from Salidar discussing what to say to Rand and how he could be brought to heel. Lots of interpersonal relationship things going on. Egwene figures on "travelling." Where are the Forsaken!?

Boring! The fake history of this robot world is really drawn out. Fun ideas of a society going tits up. But I don't really care.

Funny that he found 4 magical guys that share and eye, ear, arm, and leg. I hope this "bomb on a fake Spatterlight" trick does something hilarious.

Twentieth Voyage: a time travel story. Starts cool with futer Ijon showing up on a Chronocycle and telling himself to takeover directorship of a time traveling institution. But it degrades into some weird multi project thing where the scientists are accidentally creating natural disasters and famous people. Ehh..

14th voyage was good. Landed on a planet where meteors fall regularly. Aliens have clones en masse to replace those killed and a type of building gum that quickly replaces building destroyed by the meteors.

The memories of ice are the memories trapped within the T'lan Imass because of their cursed ritual. Toc is reborn within Anaster's body. The Wolf Gods are reborn and take-up the Beast thrones within the Imass's Warren.

The Armitage persona dissolved. Corto awakened and was killed by Wintermute by blowing his space escape pod without the door sealed.

Sweet quick strike by the Bridgeburners. Didn't know Paran could become the Hounds and kill stuff. That was dope. Lots on demonic Condors around the enemy keep. I feel like a miracle is going to happen to keep everybody alive.

13th voyage: a planet where you are nearly drowned everywhere on efforts to become a fish? Almost every story leads Ijon into prison for unknowingly commiting a ridiculous crime.

Cugel learned some butchery skills. I like that he can swindle anyone out of their hard earned work. Iolo is a dastardly guy too, but I think he will win the competition for his Bag of Dreams. I wonder if Cugel exploded in the hole with the tentacle really will send him to some other dimension. Could be a fun side story.

Moist's old partner in crime Cribbins reappears and will be blackmailing him! And Deerheart looks to have found some Golems in the desert cave she was excavating, but can't recover them quite yet.

Captain Paran and Quick Ben found some hidden fortifications outside Coral and set an ambush. It's fun to read about the sappers setting traps and using them.

Okay, so Whiskeyjack had barges made to float to Coral faster. I don't get why both armies are trying to be the first to get to Coral. There will be a nasty fight. Is there some value of taking down the Seer first? Do they all know something Erikson is yet again keeping from the reader?

Is Rake dead? Ganoes Paran blessed the Destriant of the Wolves accidentally and now she was taken Anaster as her servant? Looks like Dujek is going to try something risky and Whiskeyjack isn't going with him.

It feels like the book is advocating for the money system in America. Money backed by the reputation of the country and it's resources, fiat currency, instead of gold. This cabinet of curiosities is a magical 11 dimensional device for storing small things. I'm glad we are back in the Unseen University. I missed the wizards.

That little old lady was cool, too bad she died. The Assassin's Guild already has a hit out on him if the dog dies.

Ooo from stamp maker to money maker. Playing around with the city's money is going to lead Moist into a sticky situation. I wonder who will try to kill him.

12th voyage was lame. Quick time machine story about rapidly advancing a bug civilization from the stone age to a democratic republic.

The beasts with Lady Envy, Balljagg and Garath, are ancient wolf gods? It's sort of stated they are lost lovers and the T'lan Ay are their offspring.

Combat to destroy this space machine the demons and Chaos Marines are protecting. It must be a device for obliterating the Pillars. Im thinking the Primaries Marines are about to show themselves to the Chaos brothers and do some slaughtering!
