Pg. 165 - Elektra - book is named after her btw - is the worst. Blind loyalty to her father with no empathy. She’s pissing me off. Clytemnestra isn’t as kickass in this as in the book by costanza casati but still empathizing the most and enjoying her the most. Even Cassandra too over Elektra.

Pg. 249 - Much more engaging now and heartbreaking and I’m scareddddd

Pg. 121 - So far I’m not invested. Idk if it’s the writing or pacing or what but it’s also confusing me in some ways. Hoping it picks up

Pg. 187 - Wow I’m really into this so far.

Pg. 151 - Breezing through this now that I know the lore wow.

Pg. 128 - I’ll try and finish up tomorrow. It’s not gripping me

Pg. 108 - Okay so there’s definitely some differences from the film so far.

Pg. 151 - I’m more than halfway honestly so idk. Okay so there’s so many names but as Fry said I’m remembering or recognizing rather the more important ones I gather. I’m also finally seeing the song of Achilles plot mixed in.

Pg. 56 - Okay okay. So I like it so far. I know Fry said not to stress about names and such but it still pains me that it’s so difficult.

Pg. 365 - Almost there. Little confusing. Oedipus you did sleep with your mom yup

Pg. 309 - Still going strong. So Argo and the Argonauts’s voyage is kinda giving odyssey.

Pg. 213 - Maybe I’ll read more? Orpheus I know you from sandman bruh.

Pg. 137 - This is definitely going better than mythos. I’m enjoying getting more time in the stories and I understand enough of the immortals to get the main gist ofc as I always say. The lands and kingdoms and such still confuse me but oh well. I’m learning.

I like Prometheus and Athena the best I think. I THINK. Zeus is just all over the place. There are SO MANY NAMES AND PLACES I CANT KEEP TRACK OF. Currently I am just reading to enjoy each story and not fretting as much on the connections and name memorizing.

Pg. 102 - So a lot to keep track of but I get the main gist I think. Couldn’t tell you what each titan or god or deity represents oh my

Pg. 264

Pg. 146

Pg. 893 - Bee perk up he’s alive

Pg. 857 - THANK GOD FOTZ ID ALOVE

Pg. 756 - I had some trouble reading today so I can’t say it was necessarily a good session but not because of content. I will say that FITZ BETTER NOT BE DEAD. it seems final but not yet right, right?!

Pg. 656 - GO BEE KILL THEM ALL

Pg. 560 - Bee is at Clerres and she can skill! Kinda. I like that she at least has Prilkop and I hope he’s chill and kind. I kinda want Fitz to converse more with paragon like he did.

Pg. 459 - This is great. Bee now being able to use the skill and thus big grand adventure shaping up with characters from all the previous books oh my Lordy I’m not even 40 kill me

Pg. 363 - Okay so if fools assassin was the vibe of the finale with catchup then fools quest was an homage to Farseer and assassins fate is an homage to liveship. Ahhhh I’m loving it

Pg. 264 - Oh today brought me back to so many of my beloved characters and creatures. I got Malta and Reyn ofc and rapskal and thymara and tats and Leftrin and Tarman and alise and Sedric and Carson and Althea and Brashen and clef and paragon. Oh it’s so enthralling. Bee’s part wasn’t that exciting today but I do enjoy it still.

Pg. 139 - very engaging today. The old rapskal came out ugh I missed him. I’m very excited for the prospect of seeing Tarman and leftrin and Alise and Althea and Brashen and maybe Wintrow and Etta??? Idk idk. Dwalia and Alaria and Reppin are such interesting villains and idk why I feel sympathy for Vindeliar but I do.

Pg. 760 - Alright alright. I took a break and chilled out and read more. Worth it. Malta and Reyn and Phron I love you. Rapskal I miss the old you still. Thymara girl where you at

Pg. 732 - Fuck I can barely read I was supposed to finish today but I can’t read and I can’t focus.

Pg. 695 - A LOT happened today idek what started the session today. I really hope that Lant and Fitz can grow closer and same with Per and Fitz. Nettle I’m happy to see is closer to Fitz. The fool I’m scared for but I’m excited to see Kelsingra!!!

Pg. 524 - I LOVE FITZ BEING MORE EVIL AND DISHONORABLE WITH HOGEN AND ELLIK. There were some confusing moments to me in there but overall an interesting and engaging reading session.
