"Their shine is perfect," Dunblade agreed.
"For what?"
"Kissing you," he replied, and demonstrated.
"Faer, we're on duty," Jalester protested, when he could breathe again.

SO nice to have canon queer characters in D&D books.

"Exotica for sale today: Undeveloped daguerreotype plate. If a person’s portrait is shot and developed on it, it will show not the person but what they were thinking at the time."

I made it halfway through this and had to take a break -- one of my kitties has been having bad health problems and (having already read Red Threads of Fortune so having some idea of upcoming plot beats) this is not the best book to be reading while having The Fear Of Mortality lol. I'll get back to it in a week or two!

"House Aliquam, the Repairers of Reputations" Hey, I get this reference.

Yess!!! YESSS!!! I've been waiting for this moment since book one!!!

Yup.

Christine is wearing looser skirts than usual. Christine keeps commenting on strong smells. Is she pregnant??

"Ventrix Bring-The-River-Close was a visionary architect in the City Above. She is still a visionary architect in the City Beneath following her exile, and now she is free from petty constraints like organisational oversight, the fundamental nature of space and time, or zoning laws."

"If only we knew what this corruption even is." Whyborne took out his handkerchief and wiped some of the dust off his face.



LOOKS INTO THE CAMERA.

Oh shit. Oh no. What was I even thinking, guessing those. An area of land where nothing will grow? People who live off the land becoming infected?? It's the Color out of Space. And that's *bad news*.

Is this going to be another Mi-go thing? They're the only fungus thing I can think of, at least off the top of my head... (maybe the Yith, if the transferral sphere is a mind thing?)

Gosh but I do enjoy Mr. Quinn. Straight up one of my favorite character types.

Ok, I think I've figured it out. The ppl who were brainwashed into the attacks were all queer men (if the perp knew it = homophobe). The perp knows the inner workings of the museum and probably also knew lambert, ie, probably on the list of people who bought suits from him. He'd want an alibi and claimed he wasn't at the museum at the time. Rot-13 (https://rot13.com/): Vg'f Oenqyrl Bfobear.

oh no. The rats in the walls.

"The official laws of Spire are detailed in eighteen tomes, all of which are competitively updated by a Warrior-Poet and a Calligrapher-Attorney who were at one point married and are using the legal charter of the city as a battleground for their old disputes."

"Disgraced Warrior-Poet Petals-Cut-By-Razor [launched] her most critically-acclaimed work to date -- We, The Ten Thousand, Stand Waiting Eyes Wet Before The Sunrise (which is both a controversial work of polyamorous high elven love poetry and an invasion plan for the gnoll city of Al'Arjhama) and subsequently [fled] to the undercity following a fatal dispute between her fifth and seventh wives."

This is good lore.

Three! Lobed! Burning! Eye!!!!

I just realized I've gotten the percentages all wrong, I've been reading this one out of the omnibus because I can't find it on Hawk's patreon by itself anymore (it doesn't show up in search and it stops loading that far back lol). I thought there were 40 chapters in this one but turns out there's 50-something. so uhhh for all of my status updates assume they took place earlier.
