The fantasy element of this novel is literature being a more prestigious program than architecture

Iwtv s2 be like

Me at work

One of the things that shows off Robert’s skill as a writer is that some random fantasy thing happens/is introduced and I’m like oh my goddd of course !! It was so obvious !! I should have guessed

And well, no I couldn’t have guessed, but he foreshadows things so well that it feels obvious

I love a parallel, parallels are slay, the critique that’s arising from them is slay but I wish they were less heavy handed. “This is just like xyz” yeah. Yeah I got that, you didn’t need to tell me

Oh my goddddd i was like is din gonna sleep with her

thank you for the arc del rey i love to be a famous influencer

STOP BEING FASCIST I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU

Reading 1 page of this book would instantly kill most of booktwitter

Bro what da hell

This book contains all my most hatred tropes in the world is she doing this on purpose

1. I thought that guy was gonna be a baddie but he’s just the love interest my bad by Cher
2. Are u stupid man? Don’t retire with 50 pages to go ur absolutely gonna get murdered
3. I’m sorry if this makes me evil or whatever but if a giant monster was coming to kill everyone I would prioritise that over a murder investigation too that’s just common sense

THE VIBES ARE SO BAD ARE WE GOING TO ADDRESS THESE BAD VIBES

Shaking my head while reading so everyone knows I’m acab

Why does it feel like I’ve been reading this for 100 years

Love ‘somebody matched ur freak but at what cost’ dynamics

The capitalism of Like should come with a warning label: protect me from what I want

HATE when someone commits a murder and the murderer is RIGHT AND JUST AND SHOULD HAVE KILLED. And then the murderer still gets in trouble :( let it slide !!! I’m cryin he doesn’t deserve the death penalty

Just as I suspected

AH the whole page of 151 AH URSULA

The machine conceals it’s machinations

There are more servants, more services in orgoreyn than in karhide. This is because all orgota are employees of the state; the stare must find employment for all citizens, and does so.

Eighrhhgw when the politicians don’t stop talking about “creating jobs”

Almost 100 pages in and I do not know what any of these words mean, and I suspect I never I will

Gethenians could make their vehicles go faster, but they do not. If asked why not, they answer “why?” Like asking Terrans why all our vehicles must go so fast; we answer “why not?” No disputing tastes. Terrains tend to feel they’ve got to get ahead, make progress. The people of winter, who always live in the the Year One, feel that progress is less important than presence.

Patriotism is fear? Political and not poetical? Ursula spitting facts again !

I’m crazy and insane

Im clawing at the walls
