This scene of Errance bad mouthing himself to a bank spy is hilarious and sad at the same because his insults are sincere.

Chapter 6
In which phrases deemed by some to be troublesome are examined and critiqued.

Chapter 5

In which the inherently political nature of Christendom and Christ is discussed.

In which mobs, mob rule, and double standards are shown from the first Palm Sunday to the latest angry Tweet.

Chapter 3

In which the Christian is reminded that he needs to pay attention to and interact with the world if he doesn't want to be enslaved by it.

Chapter 2
In which taxation and property are examined under a Biblical lense

Chapter 1
In which the importance of defining meaning is stressed

Chapter 5, Part 2
In which Sanchos shows an uncharacteristic lack of sense and increased verbosity in an argument with his wife in regards to further adventuring and marrying off their daughter.

That...was a very long conversation.

Chapter 47, in which Quixote is the equivalent of a Skyrim random encounter for travelers. X'D
I'd like to read more but the long continuous rambling conversation in which no one seems to pause for breath except for the rare instances of semi colons, and then only to make side commentary on some moral topic, or to poke fun at Quixote, or Sanchos butting in and talking about his mother, is getting tiresome.

It seems everyone around Quixote is having actual adventures, while Quixote is attacking windmills and feigning madness. XD

Chapter 28

"I'd planned to wait until he fell asleep..."

Yeeeeaaaah. Okay. Neither of you are going to sleep, and you're a jerk for playing him like that (srsly how did you not see this coming)...

Finished chapter 18

It's hilarious how every individual thinks that everyone else around them is insane while also thinking that they're the most sane sentient being around. Then they all go around being insane together (or butting heads, because they all have their own goals and drives).

On Chapter 9

MC is supposed to be rational/prudent/etc. Yet, a majority of her decisions are fear based and not rational. It's getting kind of annoying...
Not finding Eros/Psyche or Hades/Persephone elements yet. Lots of classic fairy tale elements, but nothing blatantly from the two ticketed tales.

Finished chapter 12

Korag (sp?) is supportive. Korag encourages you to try new things. Korag is creative and keeps you on your toes. Be like Korag.

Partway through Chapter 9

Dang. Idelon (sp? Been listening rather than reading) disturbs even Fabius.

Reading on Webtoons. Cute, funny, and sad.
Cute- anime babies! And kit!!
Funny- what amounts to an adult who has no idea what babies/children are like and has to exist as a child; lavish father; excited half sib; lots more
Sad- moments realizing MC has no idea what to do with love/kindness and has to endure the strange torture of being cared for

Finished Diviner, starting on Liberator.

Chapter 17

Geeze, they were rude to the innkeeper. And after vomiting all over the bedsheets, breaking a bed, and starting a round of Three Stooges style beating in the middle of the night... XD

Gynoid

Felt like it needed more! Definitely a bit of a cliffhanger. 5 stars.

Stealing Freedom

Overall great characters, though it seemed a bit rushed with the worldbuilding. 4 stars.

The Astoundingly Mortal Peril of Denna Dorwen

I feel I can't say anything other than "fun romp" or "twisty characters" without ruining half the fun. Lyrically whimsical writing, great read. 5 stars.

The Word Thrower

This one was a more contemporary/alt history story. Fun without the over the top danger that teen/pre teen MCs are normally thrown at, but without getting rid of the high stakes. 5 stars.

Vengeance Hunter

As always, done in an evocative style. POV of a vampire was cool to read, especially since all of the senses were written in depth. 5 stars.

The Wolf at the Door

Great short story. A couple of good twists, perfect for the length. 5 stars.

On book 3, Diviner

Using this because the individual listings for the series appear to have vanished. On Warrior, Chapter 4.
The dragons are great. This narrator isn't quite as good as the first, but it still works.

Chapter 13

A more advanced people without the means of instant communication! Refreshing.

On chapter 12
Big Bad: Ah yes, I can mold men into monsters and monsters into men. I have subverted nature, blasphemed as needed, and will remake the world in my image. Now, to make a body for myself..
Also BB: DAMMIT I FORGOT ABOUT ALLERGIES.

X'D

On chapter 7

Wait. The prophecy regarding Desolation was supposed to be taken as a prophecy of doom? I was reading it as one of hope; Desolation to the current evil, rather than desolation to those striving for good...
