For a Serious spy novel this is charming as hell. LeCarre's prose is delightful

Alex: i cant imagine killing anyone
Also Alex: *constantly bashes people over the head*

Changing "i wondered if they were gay" to "i wondered if they were lawyers" is... certainly a choice

For fucks sake stop glazing that dumb girl

It is literally absurd that a perfectly healthy and rested Alex cant escape two completely random mooks. Tony you're a hack

The protaginist telling the truth to people who don't believe him is one of my most hated tropes and this book is a full 25% of it. Also fuck Sabina, dhe is vapid and stupid and Alex should have let her die

Okay completely nerfing alex fighting skills is ridiculous. Last book he was holding his own against a weightlifter and now he fails to land a single blow to a mook???

Por dios a este pibe le falta CALLE, tenes 14 años, llorá y da lastima!

Alex is fluent in Spanish in every other book. It annoys me the author decided to retcon it in this one alone

If you want a round of applause, you’ll have to take off the handcuffs,”
Aaand this is why I have read 6 of these

I know where this is going and I don't like it, curse you trope that squicks me!

Alex isn't built for intelligence, he is built for sabotage. Fuck shit up athen run away

Why is Alex consistently useless. What's the fun of a spy book if the spy has to be rescued?

This book expect us to believe there has been FIVE megalomaniacs with evil plans in EIGHT MONTHS? Please let your characters grow up! Alex should be 16 at the LEAST by now!

Book Alex is a little jabroni, does he never win a fight?
Book Tom is cool tho

Woola is back! Best boi

Now I am invested in this idiot's family drama TTTT

"She had it all fixed up. The whole lovely programme from start to finish. ... It occurred to me, however, that she had overlooked one little factor in her revenge, and so, without any intent to add to her discomfiture, but rather to permit her to rearrange her plans along more practical lines, I pointed to the nearest port-hole."

Okay I laughed

"why don't you go below and put on some decent clothes? And wash that disgusting rouge off your face. Then come back up here.
I want to talk to you." Yeah, the right thing to say to your 16 yo ward whi was just almost r*ped. /s I mean, I am 100% certain she let him be kidnapped so she could rescue him and continue to guilt him into obedience

Yeah sorry i am not reading every character telling the kid who was deceived, manipulated, gaslit, mocked, had his entire identity hidden from.him, that he is a bad person for fighting back against his abuser. Fuck Polgara and fuck this book

YES go Garion tell that bitch whats up! I am certain the narrative will punish him for it bc this fucking series us in love with Polgara but he did great here

Polgara is the WORST. Just a horrible person. Someone rewrite this book without her so Garion can ACTUALLY DO STUFF

HOWW am I only 6 chapters in WHY is this book so boringggg

I hate this book. If I wasn't forced to read it I'd have dnfd it

Why is Garion so useless. Why is he the protagonist instead of the MILLENIA OLD ALL POWERFUL WIZARD

Well that was anticlimactic
