For a man who takes so much pride in his intelligence, Philip still can’t read the bright red writing on the wall. She doesn’t like you, dude.

Read the first six the old fashioned way. Now I’m seeing what all the hype is about for the audiobook version. So glad to be diving back into one of the best modern fantasy series.

Dude’s really doing “her boobs boobed boobily” in a scene where a character’s clothes needed removed to treat an infected wound.

There’s something about this book where I don’t feel compelled to pick it back up, it doesn’t excite me to think of, yet I picked it back up and every time I’m so engrossed that I just had to remind myself to eat. The prose and character writing is better than I can express.

Kikuchi goes for more of an atmospheric horror vibe to start out volume three. It works pretty well with his write style, and his improved prose.

I wasn’t expecting this, but I feel like this will end in a tragedy

Spoilers: Black Beauty is a good boy

Checking this out after finding a free audiobook on YouTube. My adult brain is reading some heavy metaphor that probably wasn’t intended.

Classes could be taught about the use of political subtext in fantasy all around this series.

Abercrombie is an extraordinary character writer already, but his ability to craft a scene has almost begun to match it once you get to this entry.

Volume 2 done after a bit of a reading slump. Huge jump in quality in terms of plot and prose. An overpowered character like D can be tough to write, and I believe it’s done pretty well here. I do see what people mean about the author’s penchant for teenage girls getting assaulted as a means of inducing peril. It could be handled more tactfully.
