Children of the Corn rocks

Forgot how long the beginning is. (Still great) A ways away from getting to the real Derry stuff. Great character building for now.

“I wish you could come,” George said. He really did. Bill sometimes got bossy after awhile, but he always had the coolest ideas and he hardly ever hit.”

King gets kids. Such a little brother thing to think.

“Look at me,” he thought wryly. “Actually thinking about all the political bullshit.”

“He considered, with a dispassionate calm that was quite unlike him, that he was outmatched.”

“He wasn’t dead yet. A ma could be shot or stabbed, he could be fatally wounded, spurting his life out upon the ground, and still have a few precious minutes to bring down his enemy.”

“Now, I can plan for death.”

CHILLS

Gont needs to go

No way

My adhd is telling me there is more to jade than Fonda Lee is letting on, and that Andy is Jade Jesus

Starting to feel it, Mr Krabs

It is, I feel, the best he has ever danced

Another gods damned school lmao

Part 1 done.
I go back and forth between which POV I prefer. Big fan of Viz still embarrassing others. The emphasis on thinking and mental acuity never gets old.

Caeror is the manager or mentor everybody wishes they had

“FitzChivalry,” I told him quietly. “FitzChivalry.”

So far this book has the amazing payoffs to all these great characters introduced in the first book.

Fitz’s words to the Queen in waiting? Speaking of Molly to Burrich. The Cub. Verity! All so good.

“Did I dread Regal smirking over my trembling hands? Could I not smirk back at he who ______?” A savage satisfaction welled up in me.”
Get it, Fitz

“I knew this smell. _____ had scented this, before he died” …

“I would have to kill both of them…” amazing. No notes. Get it, cuh

“Too late to apologize. I’ve already forgiven you.”

Somebody better have something coming to them. I can never tell exactly how old Fitz is. Not Molly.

Lady Thyme, you cheeky monkey

It’s hard to explain why I’m enjoying this so far. The small moments of the adults showing Fitz affection hit hard. Is this emotional abuse?

3 chapters in, let’s see how sad this story is supposed to get

10/10 no notes. Menando is a real one

“I reach the bluff and jump without breaking stride.”

I hope to write a character as cool as this one day!

“They ask something small of you. A thing you would prefer not to do, but is not so terrible. You think you are working your way up, but in fact they are changing you. Molding you into what they think you should be, one compromise at a time. —

I am not suggesting you should [not do the thing]
— each man has to find his line. Has to find it ahead of time, and be resolved never to cross it.”

Absolute banger

“ — I was raised never to pursue something that’s guaranteed to fail.”

Great line from someone raised like Viz has been

“The cuts only worth it if there’s poison on the blade.”

Coolest line so far

“I’m going to come back someday.”

CHILLS

The beginning was one of the harder ones to imagine from Sando’s different worlds. But I have the hang of things by now and am liking it!

Yumi needs to give Painter a break. He didn’t ask for any of this. And Painter needs to speak up!
