There is a lot of repetition of certain things. Not sure why...

Soooo Ravik is a dick.

"Where is my kids?" Listening to this sounded really weird. Kids are plural, 'is' is single. So grammatically that is wrong right?

Listen, if I can pick out errors such as this, you really screwed up. Now I am wondering how many more mistakes can be found...

I suspect contractions are at fault here. We never used them while learning English. English speaking countries do though.

Goh, I already know this is gonna end up being a three star. I will finish it because it is easy to get through but I am not getting the warm and fuzzies like the first book.

😭 this is the last one!

I am getting so easily distracted..

This does not make any sense but it is the only way I will remember where I left off because I just know the next time I'll open the app will be months later...

I really need to stop picking up my tablet to update. I keep being distracted by random comics....

Why did I start another one?

Yeah, I caved. I wanted to update the series on webtoon and this one got recommended plus it is complete... wait is it?! I AM ALREADY ON EPISODE 33.

Why o why did I stopped reading giant days? Sometimes my brain likes to screw with me. 😭

After spending the last two days hopping from one comic/manga app to another but not finishing one story (why are they all more than 50 episodes long?!) I realised I just want to finish something.

I think my love got this secondhand after I missed out adding it to the kickstarter for the restof the series in this edition.

Equivalent of a warm bath, here I come!

Argh, now it is getting a bit boring but I am aware that it is a Me-Problem. So many distractions...

... Well this is a bit much for my early commute 😅

Okay and now we are channeling Gerald and Jaskier!

No idea what 'texured' hair means.

Oh my, I am enjoying this. Apparently I am not in a reading slump. I just cannot read anything harder than easy and fluffy.

Which I am not really okay with but acknowledge that it has to be like that right now. At least I am not only reading fanfic like it is some compulsion.

Wait is that a hint of homophobia in my fantasy world?

DO I FINALLY LIKE A SEANAN MCGUIRE BOOK?!

Ah man. Ik snap absoluut niks van die conclusie...

Poe Poe. Nou nou. Och nee.

Oh the dynamic reminds me of so many Steve Rovers/Tony Stark fanfic.

Chaotic genius with a dirty sense of humour and Beacon of Honour with a sly sense of humour.

I am not mad about it.

Goh, I can listen to this at 1.5 speed. I cannot do that with every audiobook. What is it about the narrator that allows for that?

"So it was that the meekest and least of all people came to hold the gate of all the world in their hands."

MEEKEST? LEAST OF ALL PEOPLE? According to who?! Dude. I would have said comfortable, content with their lot in life, even closed off to the rest of the world or a bit xenophobic.

But meek? Least of all people? That sounds so insulting!

Wauw. So literally nothing is known about them huh.

This is disappointing.

Did I miss when or where the Hobbits came from? Apparently they started in the First Age but on the genealogy pages they are never mentioned?!

Listen, I only care about the Hobbits. Cliché but true.

I am always a bit amused seeing the word 'barbarians' used in the context of Tolkien's work. He was a language nerd but the word 'barbarian' has such a specific origin that it feels a bit out of place because it does not have the same history in the world he created.

It is a quibble but I would have loved to ask him about these kinds of things because he loved language so much.

Shit I started the eBooks first because my physical will take a while but I only bought the first one... It is very easy to read so finishing it will be easy (hopefully).

Can I wait? Asking the Big Questions.

"You show the world too much," Ravik says softly.
They certainly can move quietly.
I Blink. "What?"
"There is no value in inventing reasons for sorrow," they add.

Dude. That is almost poëtisch (poetic? Poeitic? Pff English)

For some reason the word ‘omnisexual’ makes me laugh. Fitting for a fantasy world though.

SHE IS A DEMON?!

Why the worry about pregnancy and condoms?! Seriously she does not even have all the parts of all.

You know when I say consent is sexy, this is not what I mean. This very unsexy discussion about sex. How can you make that boring?

I am rolling my eyes so much…

Demons who like kids and are insecure 🙄.

Very scary…
