Nah why'd this chapter genuinely get me good? Laying out a premise for West, setting up the politics, introducing a likeable boss, then making me believe he was genuinely boutta die, only to realize the kidnappers are familiar homies??
- Boss Burr also likes driving (riding), I feel.
- Kidnapping people to ally with them is like roofieing someone to safely tuck them into bed. I approve neither.

I keep accidentally listening to very fitting music for what I read. This time, Splinter Cell soundtrack for the surprise counter-attack by Glokta's guys on the maid. BANGER.
God bless Glokta chapters. Mans really had to overcorrect over Eider.

Book feels timely as ever, perhaps I'm going slow so that reality can phase shift into what I'm reading.
Ladeeznuts thought he could invade Iran real easy like that, what a bitch ass. West honestly should've left him.

Jezel being forgotten about except to point out how useless he is somehow never gets old.

Loving the way there are 3 stories going on and 3 chapters were spent gearing each story up for battle. Was listening to POI soundtrack, was oddly fitting bc the music also was tied to an impending series of battles.

Reading after a long break takes me back to an era of live tv when shows would randomly take a month off and then you have to remember what happened. Luckily I can jog my memory here.
Oh how often we wish it isn't the people we most suspect, eh, Glokta? Wish Logen were my mentor tbh. Wish West didn't have to deal with shit management, the contractors (Northerners) left smh.

Book: Yulwei, a black skin-toned Magi, breaks into Glokta's home while he was asleep.
Me: Damn imagine a man breaking into your home while you're asleep.
Also Me: Damn I'm so proud of myself for being very not racist by not thinking "Imagine a black man breaking into your home while you're asleep".

Logen Ninefingers? More like Logen Wisezingers.
Do everything to avoid battle, but if it comes to it, do not hesitate. I'm kinda like that but when it comes to combat with a hefty meal.

Is Glokta about to be Adam Sandler in Uncut Gems? Time for a tightrope act spreading money around. Best turn for favorite guy.

Favorite running gag is how the book lowkey forgets about Luthar for a while and then brings him back in just to show how much he isn't contributing.
