that liminal space between wanting to know what the last quarter has in store for my favourite band of wild ones and never wanting this book to end

"Tell me...the elves. Are they really as bad as they say?"

"I have come to think...that they are no worse than men." Jakob took a long breath. "So...yes."

i love him

also

the baron is killing me and i can't get enough of his exquisiteness

i honestly feel like i'm rediscovering masterclass "characterization."
no shade to the greats i've already had this year,
but it's been a while since i've felt awestruck like this
and i'm pretty stoked i'm only midway through this reading journey

This feels like the most interesting thing I've read in centuries. It's wild...like experiencing the drama of Orff, Dvořák or Grieg for the first time... thrilling fun with a hint of cacophony and tons of teeth. Love the energy!

It's been hockey playoffs for the last 3 months -Canadians will get where I'm coming from- but I'm here now and I hope this narrative's energy keeps giving, because it's been a wild one so far and I'm having loads of fun!
