chapter twelve nearly killed me

this is soooooo good 😮‍💨

enough of the bad book streak and back with peak 🙂‍↕️

this has progressively lowered from a 4-star to a 3-star and now a 2-star…60 more pages lol

i’m getting frustrated with this book:
1. page 261 and the details of the politics and war with the ke-han are still so vague that the attitudes and actions of the characters are coming up meaningless
2. rook is tiring to read from, constantly telling the reader the same points about why he’s doing whatever and how he can’t be changed but never actually being *shown* anything…constant time jumps ensue🫩

i started this four years ago and never finished…apparently i read 120+ pages but i recall absolutely none of what i’ve reread lmao 🥸 this is reallyyy hitting the spot though as my hobb-break!

chapter ten was the best chapter thus far, but i’m still not convinced by the logic of anyone’s action’s lol

a quick break from hobb but i’m not loving it so far 3 ellipses are used at least three times per page, the characters and their actions are half-realised, and i don’t feel that the world-building has been done all that well…yet i remain hopeful🤷‍♂️

no one is coming out this book unscathed, including me…

barely made it out of chapter twenty alive i am so scared

seeing everyone back together after so many years (for them and for me…lol) warms my heart deeply ❤️‍🔥

i can’t explain how it feels to be back with fitz and the foo! the pages are like honey: slow-moving yet sweet and perfect in every which way <3

i’m too close to the end and it’s getting scary up on these ships 😰

easily my favourite robin hobb book so far (royal assassin coming in close competition) 😮‍💨

i know this book is already 900 pages but it should be double that…in fact make it triple because i do not want this series to end 💔

i am so frightened for malta, i’ve really come to like her as the series has progressed 😰

robin hobb always makes sure that no one is catching a break, including the reader 😂

i’ve been putting this off for two months two long…the next chapter is simply titled ‘wintrow’ which is never a good sign 🫩 protect my boy please, he’s suffered too much

part three!

part one complete 🙂‍↕️

steinbeck’s writing is simply incredible, i’ve not been struck like this in a some time

simultaneously funny and anxiety-inducing (classic ben lerner)

🌀🌀🌀

the writing is insane

“I was eight years old again, and I wouldn’t open my eyes.” Ouch.

i watched the film about six months back and apparently i felt ready to be destroyed all over again
