Was so excited to finally get to the Dogman’s POV. I read Joe’s works out of order — Age of Madness before the First Law — and it’s actually pretty cool to read the tales of all the legends and see the easter eggs before they happen decades later.

Ardee is definitely Savine’s mother, my god.

I love Logen’s redemption arc but I will not make the same mistake I made falling in love with Orso.

I am so excited to see more Gorst, as I do love him dearly later in the series. Terez sighting!! Also, I really do love Logen and also the Dogman.

Glokta laughing at Jezal is so me coded. Reminds me of Orso laughing at… well. Anyways.

God, so weird seeing Ardee and Jezal. Jezal reminds me so much of Leo sometimes, it’s uncanny.

I still love Logen as much as someone can love a character they refuse to get attached to, after being burned by this writer.

I need more of the Dogman and company, though.

Logen getting to Adua reminds me of when I first moved to a big city. Too noisy and everything stinks.
