this chapter... you've done me dirty, old man.

yippee!!!

i just feel like. we took a really long time to get to the point. lmao. like it's good. i'm engaged with the plot. the characters are-- well i do hate that francis and felix are sort of orbiting the main character rn bc i canNOT keep those names separate in my head. but mostly it's just like. why did it take so long to get to the cool part

huh. how are we already reversing the plot. what. where are we going

A BLACK MARKET MAP DEALER? SORRY AM I READING UNCHARTED?

very often it feels like this author is obfuscating the sequence of events and returning to fill in the details later for the intentional goal of making the reader sit in a moment of uncomfortable ignorance while the narrator eventually fills in the details. i'm not a fan of it though. like a murder mystery where the mystery is how everyone is connected instead of how the victim died

hmm. getting a kind of calvin and hobbes "the spaghetti incident" vibe from how we're handling the past, but otherwise i'm delighted to be in the world of maps. interested to see where things go from here

GOOD RIDDANCE

ohhh my goooddddddd he won't just shut up and die

ive been in here for four and a half gd hours what do you MEAN it's ticked up ONE percent. ONE?????

i know this isn't really the point of anything in this entire book but. if i have a weekly meetup and you say "noo don't go it's okay lol i told the person you're meeting and they say it's cool" i have. no reason to believe you. if you really did talk to them, THEY can tell me. and if you didn't. then i'm an asshole for not going! don't make me an asshole!

ugh it just gets harder and harder to stomach as we go on

how is it already so much of a train wreck... where could we possibly go from here

they had girlbosses in 1600. huh.

i do wish the sequencing was a little less abrupt at times. but i love the depth of emotion we're getting in these chapters. the generational insignts. damn

hmmmmmm. fear

yayyy halfway through

it doesnt fix anything but. boy do i wanna diagnose his mom with Something
