‘In my experience – and my experience, did I mention …’ Baptiste slid her arm across Brother Diaz’s shoulders in an unsolicited embrace, the grip of one of her many knives poking him in the side, ‘… is considerable – if you treat everything like a fight you will, sooner or later, and probably sooner …’

‘Lose one,’ growled Jakob, glaring off grimly into the shadows.

From the way it described I got the impression that it's basically the western Brezerk; however, my expierence with it so far it's more of a western Gintama. What i mean to say is that it's surprisingly hilarious

After 10 books, that wasn't enough to know the fate of the main character lol, it's time to say goodbye to the Circle of the World, and the first law world, and hello to the Seven Satrapies. Goodbye Logan. I hope you found peace at the end of it all, though it's not very logical of me.

Things has escalated quickly. I thought the events of this book will happen at the end of the third and this really bodes well to what's coming. We may finally get events of great consequence that shake the funiemetal pillars the world of the First law, once this gets rapped up.

"A good friend, who Leo was absolutely sure liked women."

She missed Orso like an arm cut off.

‘There’s all kinds of pleasures in life,’ came the voice, ‘but I’ve come to think there’s little better than a piss when you really need one.
The stream stopped, then started up again. ‘Where I sometimes hold on to it … so when I do go …’ A few more little squirts. ‘It feels better than ever'

Certainly, the best piece of philosophy I've stumbled upon in any book, ever.

Ove has probably known all along what he has to do, but all people at root are time optimists. We always think there’s enough time to do things with other people. Time to say things to them. And then something happens and then we stand there holding on to words like “if.”

Since I started wearing my big boy pants, I've never had the urge to buy a toy. Being introduced to Rat Legion, however, turned me to a snot- eating child again. Now, I desperately want that toy, and I'll cry and through a tantrum, in the middle of the mall, to have it.

I made a decision that I'll stop after this chapter since i've been going at it for straight 4 hours; however, the said chapter is chapter 44. I just can't go about my day with a cliffhanger like that. I'll try to put a stop to it after another 4 hours.
