I've never seen a character state their entire character arc in a monologue in the very beginning of a book. Lol

I see someone went to the TikTok school of "this is what quiet wealth looks like"

oh so the one POC has the personality of a cardboard but it's fine because being a mixed race lesbian is that is interesting about her, according to MC

Totally makes sense to give an interview to the random woman who chases you down after your clinic appointment after skillfully avoiding the press all this time. Makes complete sense.

I love Glokta so much!
I hope that stupid fucker Prince Ladislav gets pummeled to death

Looks like I'm not immune to pop history after all.

Ferro is consistent in her hatred of every living thing

Yay, along with normal fantasy racism, you also get to experience anti-blackness that parallels real life and hits a little too close to home/s

(The fact that the dark skinned people in Dakosga are treated that way and the upper city is for the whites. Jeez, Mr. Abercrombie, you really like your realism). Funny how none of the other white readers who recced this series also thought to mention that.

Le sigh.

Love how it's taking me months to finish this book.
The TechnoCore part is the most confusing. At first I thought it was all "we are Legion" but now there's factions in the Core? And they want to kiss Johnny because he wanted to be human and is part of the Hyperion unknown. Cool.

Jezal, you amuse me and I want to smack your damn head you pompous, classist shit

Glokta and West...my heart.

"Bayaz,” he said, pointing up at the statue. “Friend of mine.” The man stared at him, at the statue, back at him, and hurried away."
Logen, you are fucking hilarious man.

It's getting good.

Finally getting into this.

*grits teeth* yes we need unlikable female black protagnists

Ok so far, everyone who's encountered Hyperion has been lured by some desire or circumstance that caused their first trip and is the reason behind their second trip. Was the Shrike manipulating them from the start or did fate bring them a terrible way?

oh yeah this is definitely one of those sci-fi concepts that clearly the point is what a disaster it would be irl but Elom Musk will probably try it someday.
The idea of a cybrid is both amazing and completely horrifying. So M. Masteen is dead/missing and they're very close to their goal. Miss. Lamia has taken control like a fucking G and she's a hot neo-noir detective who is strangely horny for humanoids.

Sol's entry made me ugly cry. All he went through with his daughter, her name being Rachel and her mother being Sarai and all the alluding to sacrifice and I have no words. Brilliant.

Ok he's a depressed gremlin with some gross views on women but why does everyone hate this guy?

southern gothic, yummy

Seems I'm obsessed with family trauma horror these days

getting to the good stuff!

Sometimes I feel bad about how slow I read certain books these days, but it gives me time to digest and gargle it all together. At least that's my comfort.

I see why most people like Hippolyta's story the most.

OH SWEET FUCK IT JUST HIT.

Am I exaggerating? Am I just a dumb idiot impressed aby anything? Maybe I am a simple minded moron? But this really did hit in a brilliant way because of course the hubris of an artist is the perfect tool by a primordial being of destruction.

"To become a true poet, is to become god."

Peepee poopoo shit cunt is totally right, Mr. Earth poet. You're so annoying oh my goodness.

I am glad certain characters did not die like on the show, I appreciate that certain choices were made by the TV writers which worked better than what the author did, a certain character underwent a VERY different character change and some characters got better depth.

But the lore here works more for me.
