What a wonderful brother Horst is. Also how are we 61% through with only 2 days left? Scared

"you'll make sure she gets a copy [of the photo]? So that when she starts making memories, she'll know we're already friends?" Jesus fucking Christ this robot is adorable

Mx.Avery. I want your confidence. "It's my home just as much, as theirs and I want you here." "But we do have the Ramble. Nobody in my village does it except me anymore, but I still count."

"Good morning, are you awake?" "No. What's wrong?" "Oh, nothing. I've just spent a very long time wanting to talk with you and I couldn't wait any longer."
Oh Mosscap, you're adorable

Oh this sarcastic asshole is my favorite

"Abel? Where there's no free will, there's no sin. If you- if you can't help it. I know you tried. Thank you for trying."
Goodness, my HEART. and to think I nearly DNF'd this book during the Cobweb plotline.

"We had a deal!"
"No. We didn't. You can't make a deal with someone who dangles life and death over you. That's not an agreement, that's coercion."

Yes, there had been a difference between truth and lies, but truth could still be shifted. There were narratives here, not just facts. Point of view mattered. Where one lay in the grand web of interactions, would inevitably skew the way those interactions would be interpreted. And until now, it had been prescribing importance to everyone's point of view, but it's own. It couldn't rely on being told what to think.

"A dying world and a dying people... Amsley didn't know what to do. Didn't know how it fit in this universe. How to fix any of it. So it shrank the universe in its mind. It discarded the problems that were too big for it to hold. Too complex for it to solve. It focused on what it could do right here, right now."

Oh jeez this is going to go poorly, isn't it? Amsley will lose all trust in Maya. Please don't make it so

"We were taught that Mansfield was evil because he made soulless machines in the shape of men. But he did something worse than that to you, so much worse. Burton Mansfield's Greatest sun was creating a soul and imprisoning it in a machine."
Damn this chapter was fucking cute.

There are times when I think this seems almost too mature to be YA. Then there's times when there's laser grids during a heist.

Very interesting. Liking this. Slightly frustrated with Unit 4's distrust of this group still. And that it hasn't learned what a human is. Yes, this feels realistic. Still bothers me though

Holy shit. Star burial is fantastic. That is clever, and emotional, Gray! I was getting a little frustrated with these two relationship, but this. Very sweet.

"Find the strength to do both... [Our] pursuits are what make us, but without comfort, you will lack the strength to sustain either." Man I wish I could pronounce Allalae better.

Cozy so far. Nice. I understand this is a short book. But could we have more than a 2 year time skip and 15 pages to go from Dex's terrible first day to being "the best tea monk in Panga"? I suppose the book isn't about it, but there's value in failing. We didn't see them learn anything.

"I treasure such fleeting moments as that, little beacons of pure joy and contentment that last a few seconds before passing into memory. They're always worth living and working for."

"Whenever someone shoulders past me or cuts me off, I feel like rooting for them instead of getting angry, and I hope there able to make it to the toilet before disaster strikes. I cheer for the steadfastness of their sphincters and wish them long life and clean underwear."

"I'm sorry it hurts... I tried tae make it quick so ye wouldn't suffer long"
[Who has your family, Durf? I can try to help them.]
God these two are so sweet. Being as caring as they can for someone who tried to hurt them against their own will.

"Aw. Can I no take the piss out o' ye a bit? That's part of the deal when you employ a hob."
"I understand that, and I heartily approve of the practice in general terms. But you must find some other way to take the piss than purposefully mangling my name. I expect high quality, creative and non destructive piss taking. I am a quality employer and require the best hobgoblin in all of Tir na nÓg."

"I am a fool and a failure." "Naw, you're a hobgoblin on a Wednesday."

"Christ, that's stonkin'!" Is an exclamation I need in my regular vocabulary immediately.

"And now Gordie... choked to death on a scone this morning. It has raisins in it, so that was bloody daft, as raisins are ill-omened abominations and he should have known better."
Man I did not realize this was Scottish when I picked this up. I have read the authors note and half of one page and I'm already so fucking excited.

Man. With the preamble given before the story, and from what I know of the book already. I'm fucking unnerved by the odd stuff happening. This isn't scary. Why am I scared?

Ok I get it. Progress isn't linear. But Fanya's lack of trust in others is getting tiring.

"I'm learning the difference between independence and self exile."

Ragna is best character.
"Yes she is mean, but she is my friend and she is trying!"
