Did I get deus ex machina'd? On at least one thing that I thought would be a major storyline, I feel like I got deus ex machina'd.

This book is making me think and compare my experience with the Sword of Truth series. Just for perspective on ways I've changed as a reader.

Have you ever read a book and found a glaring but unimportant continuity error that niggles at you after the fact? Found one in a scene earlier here that has honestly put me in a bit of a cynical mood.

I like spicy scenes as much as the next person, but it's feeling like a lot. Not in an illogical or shoehorned in way but a "I'm bored by this" way.

After juggling what amounted to three thinkers, none of which were fantasy, for books over the last few days, I decided I needed something that was so completely tonally different from the rest as a mental palate cleanser. This has been on the docket since reading the filler piece in January. And it checks all my boxes.

May it be as entertaining as the first.
