ive started to read nightblood's dialogue in stephen fry's voice, and i think it has significantly improved my quality of life. he, too, can destroy evil, as all true norwich folk eventually must

absolutely no hope of finishing this today. maybe by wednesday. when did i become so damn busy

brandon sanderson casually dropping the canon existence of shapeshifting dragons in the cosmere and then moving on like nothing happened. meanwhile kaladin is neutralising immortals through the power of song. strange book, this one

why is the entire cosmere hanging around on roshar. we've got feruchemists, seons, several references to warbreaker (which i still have not read), whatever iyatil's got going on, hoid, and also kelsier is here. a moment of silence for any stormlight fans who havent read anything else branderson has written, because this book would be utterly incomprehensible

have had even worse back pain than usual this week. which could mean nothing

halfway through, feeling conflicted. every other book in this series has had a Scene. one that has stuck with me all these years, and really encapsulates the spirit of these novels & the heart that has gone into them. i dont know that i have found that spirit here, yet. i hope i do, and there are another seven hundred pages left

told myself i wouldnt buy any new books until finishing this, and then made the mistake of going into the book hive (favourite indie book shop) today and bought four books. something to look forward to when i finally defeat this monstrosity of a novel

did they just treat moash to the rosharan equivalent of hemalurgy. there's something very reminiscent of the steel inquisitors there except with spikes of crystal rather than metal.

every so often i remember that it is entirely possible to trace my interest in the cosmere back to my twelve year old self deciding to watch a random youtuber play a randomised nuzlocke of pokemon alpha sapphire. he mentioned the way of kings in a video of his five or six years later, i added it to my goodreads tbr, and the rest was history

in my second week at this job i was told about the roman village + bathhouse they found during onshore construction. finally allowed to talk about it publicly after spending the past two days telling kids and parents about it at the science festival. fifty roman artefacts soon to be donated to the museum (:
