Pretty sure I know who Strider is (the most handsome man I’ve ever seen)

I know this is blasphemous, but the pacing is kind of killing me

I’ve never seen these movies but I know enough about these books/movies, so I keep expecting for Legolas or Gimli or Aragorn to show up, because aren’t they… the fellowship? Like have I been lied to??

I remember yelling at Bilbo to be meaner and less polite… it seems I simply had to wait for Frodo to get my wish lmao

Okay this is getting fun

Bilbo, I have missed you

I appreciate the world building, but it has been 15 pages dedicated to the hobbit lifestyle and I need to move on

Ughhhh Carl doesn’t want Katia to leave and I really don’t want Katia to leave😭

It’s so incredibly satisfying that Carl didn’t snuff out his rage and be “the bigger person”. It’s so so good that he was like “fuck that” and ripped THE DUDES ARM OFF. A round of applause!

The random bursts of “I’m going to kill your mother” from the detached head-of-a-doll-that-is-also-the-spirit-of-a-god is sending me into orbit.

I bet that sentence just sent everyone who follows me into orbit, too.

I can’t mentally cram more of this outrageous plot into my head tonight. To live two seconds in Matt Dinniman’s mind would be to live a life of nightmares.

I don’t think I could describe this book to someone without sounding like I’m on acid

This is the best the characters have ever been. Donut going lawyer-mode and saying “my Carl”, and Carl bouncing off her to crack jokes. It’s full Neil Josten. It’s beautiful. I am so happy.

Holy shit he’s keeping a kill tally. He just killed someone and marked it. I’m going insane. He’s going insane. This is insane and also the best plot point of this series so far.

I love it when Carl gets pissed at the world… usually means something very badass is going to happen

I do need everyone to know that I’ve just been picturing the house from “Up”.

I swear these books always start to get really good when I have to work the next day.

Carl’s patience needs to be studied

Carl’s surrounded by explosives and has everything he needs to enter an incendiary war… this is his personal wet dream

“Capital punishment means those without the capital get the punishment.”
Fucking hell that’s a quote to start off on

I’m almost definitely going to wake up very sick tomorrow, so I will spend all day reading and catching up on this series, which I am starting to get addicted to.

I’m so stupid for saying I’d work an extra shift tomorrow😭 why oh why did I do this?? I just wanna keep reading

Katia is an incredibly morbid version of Elastigirl, which I both love and hate

“She was Eva’s psychiatrist.”
I’m so serious, that was the most chilling line of this book. Oh that’s dreadful. HOW is that the most chilling line in this alien murder book? In the entire series so far??? Ooooo the implications alone are horrifying😭😭

Carl is reaching Iconic MC status

My God, it’s Tom Riddle’s diary!

I know this man (Dinniman) is a Dungeon Master, I just can’t prove it.

I need to see Dinniman’s spreadsheet/process for keeping track of all the feats/spells/abilities that he grants to his characters, because holy shit.

I have to physically and mentally ignore the body horror in these books or I will gag

Omg it’s a Lich. Lich battles are my favorite battles. I just got so excited
