very beautifully written tf

this is lowkey boring me

but he had a gold coin he got from his game? no? what?

i wish i could inject this book into my blood

"they railed against a governor-king under which they had never served, bellowing for justice for a land in which they had never lived, uttering phrases of a language they barely spoke. and all it brought them was chaos and division."
im just a sucker for middle-eastern/levantine settings. add a dictator to the mixture and im all in

it is going a bit too slow for my taste
and there is a lot of thinking happening inside the characters' heads that i don't really care about cuz it seems to follow the same line almost all the time
however i do enjoy the revelations about lord ruler

elend stop aura farming challenge failed

""i can find little joy in this government, Vin," Dockson said quietly."because i know what we did to create it. the thing is, i'd do it all again. i tell myself it's because i believe in skaa freedom. i still lie awake at nights, however, quietly satisfied for what we've done to our former rulers. their society undermined, their gods dead. now they know.""

manifesting this hehe.

this has not felt very mistborn-y by far

"you know," he said, "it amazes me sometimes that we bother to try. with everything they've done to us-the deaths, the tortures, the agonies- you'd think that we would give up on things like hope and love. but we don't. Skaa still fall in love. they still try to have families, and they still struggle. i mean here we are...fighting Kell's insane little war, resisting a god we known is going to slaughter us all."

i am reading this as an active revolution happens in my country and my people are trying to topple a dictator that has ruled over them for the past 47 years
i have not heard from my family for the past 40 hours as the dictator in question has cut off the internet on the inside
life imitates art as they say.

it is like a breath of fresh air to be reading actual good fantasy
so happy that my 14 yro self decided she does not want to read this and left it up to me to do it

"as the russian foreign minister noted in approving yet another loan to Qajar court in 1903, the ultimate goal was to "make Persia obedient and useful... a tool in our hands.""
not quite funny how Iran has been Russia's little plaything on and off throughout the modern and premodern history.

"by that april morning when he walked into shah's inner sanctum to discuss persepolis banquet hall, he was also now coming to see him as part of the problem. he didn't mean this in any treasonous way - Alam certainly wasn't advocating overthrow of his "mighty leader"- but rather that part of the reason issues were allowed to fester and dangers to build was the monarch's growing distance from the people."

i am not vibing with all the detailed fight scenes chapter after chapter and skimming (also skipping) through them has taught me they dont really matter cuz i still know what is going on.

i really enjoy the humour of this. very new to me as the fantasy books i usually read dont necessarily try to be humourous or funny.

this is growing on me for some reason??

le cose che faccio per migliorare il mio italiano =)))))
