I've read this book 3 or 4 times and I NEVER noticed the Night Watch Captain Carrot action figure until now

Aaaand again!

Nah he got Aeschylus-ed 😭

Oh wait is this where the ghost ships thing in going postal came from

THE WINE DARK SEA!!

He is getting SO much mileage out of just explaining ancient Athenian democracy slightly flippantly. they've done all the unseriousness for him

Told myself I can't reread Hogfather until I've read a new one

Without even knowing Guite was a Tolkien fan/scholar I could tell... you might say I felt it in the water ha ha

So we're all just twiddling our thumbs waiting for Shrewd to cark it then?? Not that it'll be as easy as that I'm sure

Poor Burrich some shit is always happening to him. He's the horse guy!! Leave the horse guy!!

Ngl it was really satisfying to see all three of those bastards (metaphorical) eat it at once... but not QUITE as satisfying as (redacted) getting his life force skill-yoinked out of him lol

Kettricken I like you will go in my box with my Csethiros and my Eowyns

I like verity btw I hope at least if he gets himself killed in another one of these ten million books (I know better than to say 'wow I hope xyz survives!') it's quick and/or noble

I bet the doesthedogdie page for this series is hefty

Oh wait dumbass I didn't read the dramatis personae properly there's 12 coz they're the chorus lol

12 furies?? Where the hell (har har har) have the extra 9 come from then

Pylades is amusingly peripheral here what's the point of having him in The Choephori other than to egg on Orestes 😭

This sounds stupid but I don't think I realised the text was explicit about the murder being over Iphigenia, I thought that was sort of a later extrapolation. Certainly Homer doesn't say it is, but iirc Homer never mentions the death of Iphigenia?

(No I don't know why the summary for this edition is in Dutch)

Can u believe I haven't read this yet

'not at all like I'd imagined it' after poisoning a guy ok someone's been watching GOT

The last time? Their big olympic programme is the fucking last time? That's their big olympic programme? The last time???? 🫩

This book is bats but between us my sister knows loads about figure skating and I've read wuthering heights so we just Had to read it

Slightly disappointed that we'll never get to see the Chivalry-Patience dynamic that sounds like it was a hoot

Not convinced by Chade... think he's a bit of a git really

Oh ffs I thought she was a disguise of some sort I just didn't think about Chade 😭
