I‘ve missed these characters. SO happy to be back.

Sword done.
I have no idea where this is going!

And Two Towers done.

I finished the Shadow part. Or did it finish me? It is a more challenging read than I anticipated but it tingles my brain in a very stimulating way. I love the atmosphere and world building. I LOVE the way Gene Wolfe plays with language. But with English not being my native language it‘s double the difficulty level. I am very proud that I have figured out some things. But also missed 99 others. XD

Rereading for a bookclub and the movie.

This took an UNEXPECTED turn.
Not complaining, quite the opposite. But woah, that came out of nowhere! Cool. Cool cool cool.

Are you KIDDING me?!?! A second time? Now I‘m angry!!!

That’s the second time I held my breath for an entire chapter!

I have to stop for today because of the symbol at the beginning of chapter 51. I almost screamed.

When your brain finally realises they chose an ancient Egyptian symbol because the setting is inspired by antient Egypt. As if desert, pyramids and scarab amulets weren‘t clear giveaways from the start.

I think I forgot how to breathe the entire chapter. Do I… do I like racing plots in my stories? (Flashbacks of Star Wars Episode 1)

I think I figured out what is going on. Holy shit! If I‘m right this is brilliant and another major plot twist. 🤯

Followed by 2 even bigger plot twist I was not expecting. And now I want to start a reread right away! Wtf!

Plot twist I did not see coming! 😱

I'm obsessed with this book. It's really hard to stop reading.

WTF?!?! But he… But … what?!?! A lot makes so much sense. But why did he do the thing at the beginning?

How am I only halfway through the book? What the hell is going to happen in the second half. This is the most unpredictable fantasy book I‘ve read in ages. I am constantly surprised in which direction the plot shifts every few chapters.

I‘m having the time of my life! Love the humour. The audio book is SO much fun, too.

I wish I could read the whole night. This is good!

I fear if I don’t stop now, I won’t get any sleep tonight.

I‘m already an emotional mess.

What a beginning.

I don’t want this book to end. I love it so, so much. I love Nona so, so much! I love everyone! Mimimiep.

Done with Fellowship of the Ring. It‘s so good every time!

It's raining. In my living room. Why did this get so emotional all of a sudden?

I am so ready to be back! And already very emotional.

VANESSA! Omg, I‘m so slow. 🙈 (I‘m loving this so much btw)

Another reread with the book club.

„The law is a game the powerless play and lose.“

Oh no. I just realised something. No no no. I don’t want that to be true. But it makes too much sense.
