I don’t think the Pathfinder exploding bit was in the movie… I like that, once again, Mark is really like, alone but not really… The fact that there’s an alrernste reality out there were Johanesson survived 17 months in space alone by eating her crew members is so!! Sign me up!!

Interesting. This part about the water reclaimer manfunctioning for a bit wasnt in the movie, but i appreciate it. While not essential to the plot, it does poke fun at bureaucracy and extrapolate on the how Mark can just… do whatever he wants on Mars. Good for him. Bad that he’s stuck there, but good for him.

I appreciate the Loki characterisation in here. Its a relief after waiting to read this arc for a long time.

I like the consistent characterisation (thinking of SM:No Way Home) of Stephen hubristically underestimating his opponents for various factors, particularly here because he’s absorbed Asgard’s magic but Loki IS a god of magic as well (in certain interpretations) as well as having a slew of other titles(i love that they dropped “heir of asgard” all casual like that) that also includes Sorcerer Supreme… ATM

Interesting but the same in comparison to the movie

51 minutes into the audiobook and im on chapter 2 🙃

Interesting

Chapter 58…

Chapter 30… staying up until 3:30am to get up to chapter 20 last night was the absolute worst what the hell am i on

Ugh they are mafking me near the end when im simply not. Im on chapter 21

Of my phone’s EPUB version

reading for my uni book club on the train 😛 i really want to read solitaire now actually (the better book in my totally unbiased opinion)

6 hours, 42 minutes, 49 seconds of the 22 hour epub and im finally hooked 🥺 training arc only got interesting when she committed frfr and she only did that once boring not-mc dane got out of the picture. if i picked this up on the epub, i would have 310-ish pages to go... but i can read 310 pages faster than i can listen to *checks screen* 15 hours 20 minutes 6 seconds left of epub?!

liking this bit where she isnt making sex-euphenisms and jokes every few minutes and shes actually locked in to living ❤️

not her inner horndog coming out oh my god

"I hate how beautiful he is" as he's coming forward to kill you (presumably)... okay bro.
also why is she so bad at reading his intentions... unreliable narrator maxxing for some reason?

not the "thug with a heart of gold".... i KNEW he was the actual love interest other than violets weird lust for that dane guy

2:31:02

Maybe its the audiobook but the repetition of already established facts and the timeline kind of cheapens out any suspense? Like we get it Violet is smart and analytical but there’s being smart and analytical and then theres repeating the same stuff over and over just for the sake of it, really. Also the swears in here sounds like school children just learning them for the first time.

1:12:54 - take a shot every time they say breeches… why is this so sex focused right now

I’ve been listening to the audiobook through Libby and holy god im an hour in and ive just reached chapter 2. so far, so good i suppose? not absolutely horrific (as ive heard from some) but not the holy grail (as ive heard from some). im thinking the emo blood rival is the main love interest or at least the one most rooted for. bear in mind, i have no prior knowledge or osmosis to really go off of for this.
