We got another proof copy 😀

Well, things just keep getting wilder

This is actually a really good collection of stories

Chapter 31 😨

Very Douglas Adams

Wonder how much inspiration Arha gave to George R R Martin for a character of a very similar name 👀

Forgot how eloquent Brown’s prose was

Very different to book 1

Easier than I expected to get back into this after a year break

How have I never read this? It’s so good.

This feels nostalgic and I’ve no idea why as I’ve never read it before

All over the place. It’s like a Pratchett novel that combines everything from the Watch, the Wyrd Sisters, Rincewind and throws some Gods and Demons in.

I see what they’re trying to do but a little bit less would make this work so much better.

Any Weir, who?

This is very clearly a love letter to Terry Pratchett’s Discworld

“Books were only one kind of receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget.”

An improvement on the watching paint dry aesthetic of book 1

Been so long since I read book 2 but were the first two books this angsty?

This is bat shit

This is so boring, the payoff best be worth it or my experience of this series ends here.

The Minotaur

Really struggling to remember wtf is going on here

Chapters I-IIX Complete

This is fucking mental. But I love it.

Definitely think the fact I have a degree in English is helping me traverse the footnotes and supplementary material here. I understand why so many people struggle with this.
