I’ve long touted that this is my favourite fantasy trilogy, but only ever read them when they were published. I revisited Liveship a few years ago, so thought it was time to hit Book 2.
My memory of the story is extremely fuzzy now, which means I’m regularly being delightfully surprised. Just had a character I was convinced lasted the whole series breath their last.

Just finished Wintrow’s visit to the Others’ island. I had zero memory of this part, and couldn’t be happier. Feeling overawed at the scale of the story that’s unfolding right now.

Paragon’s just been sold. That scene. I wish I could conjure even a fraction of those emotions in my own work.
I’d completely forgotten about Clef. One of my favourite characters this time around.

Ah, Malta. I’d forgotten how much I loathed you at this point.
