the 'written by a straight man in 2001' is really dripping off this one, more than the others for some reason. maybe because murphy is a much less prominent character? any way, its just making it a more difficult read. i am excited to mean thomas tho, i think i know who he's going to end up being. and im very curious to see how the business with the godmother plays out

Loving the action and the new info on the nightmare. Poor murph got damseled again, unfortunately. I want to see her kick magic ass goddamnit

still a bit confused on michael and his whole deal and why the book is talking about him like we already knew him, but im rolling with it. Murphy my beloved just showed up finally and I love her. interesting plot happenings have started happening

Alright a few chapters in and I'm fairly sure michael is a new character to the series and im Not supposed to know him. Theres been a lot more expansive worldbuilding this time around, esp with how early in the book we are, which im really enjoying, but Man is this a fantasy written by a man in the early 2000s. Not every woman needs to be attractive and if someones skin is described as 'creamy' again, im gonna puke

I don't know if I should know Michael and forgot about him or if the In Media Res start is gonna back up and explain who he is. Loving the actiony start
