First "dictionary" down

I'm going to call this Dark Academia and await the hail of thrown refuse

Yeah, this is great.

Soft DNF. I'm just bored- we haven't even finished the inciting incident yet.

Bouncing around a lot in books recently, but this is working so well for me. Loving the structure, the way it bounces around, and the way it's using language (even if it's not quite as good as what he did in Sorcerer of The Wildeeps)

Suneater wasn't doing it yet. This is much more interesting

"A Condensed Gardening Handbook"- they should have changed the number when translating, because the book says before this that it's 23 letters, but I assume it was originally "manuel jardinage condensee," according to google translate. I originally thought it was some hint to the context of this world but now I'm thinking not

So far, I'm reminded comfortably of those 90s fantasies that bridge "classic" epic fantasies and modern- it's giving me MS&T by Tad Williams vibes, both in writing style and scope, so far.

Woops, forgot there was a Reddit bookclub for this. We'll see if I get to halfway in time!

Pages 259 and 260 are missing from my copy!!! D:

This is good; It's also complex. Trying to keep all the characters straight, real and historical, might be easier if I were familiar with 14th century Britain, or England, or the Byzantine Empire... Nevermind all 4.

Excited for this one- Ford seems to be one of "your favourite author's favourite author."

DAWN OF THE FINAL DAY -24 Hours Remain-

Honestly, this is SO weird and confusing, it might work well as an audiobook. Even trying very hard, some stuff is impossible to make sense of; surrendering to the phantasmagoria and letting the weird wash over you could be the way.
