Just a few chapters left.

Slower going all of a sudden this week (my reading, not the book). I will still finish by end of next Monday.

Over a hundred today woohoo! Great action sequence for several chapters here.

Work got a bit crazy. Would’ve liked to read more today lol

Couple more chapters down. A few more to come later.

Extra chapter today POG

Okay, Chapter 5 totally shifted my view of Chapter 4. Very good.

Chapter 6...man I really feel for Bill. Such a tragic character in all of the right ways. Flaws and failures, but sympathetic as all get out.

I know I've said I'm on board, but like...I'm ON BOARD now.

Chapters 3-4 went much smoother than 1-2. I'm not sure whether it was because I was in the wrong headspace (personal reasons) or what, but yeah, I'm fully invested now.

I appreciate Butler's use and simultaneous subversion of certain story tropes tho. Fun times.

Read Ch. 2 over last night and this morning. New character and his past are really interesting to me.

Main thing I noticed was how intentionally crafted the prose is between certain hints and just the utility of the words. Butler’s writing isn’t hard to read, but it is dense - no wasted words really - so it is taking me significantly longer to read each page than I anticipated. Unfortunately for me 😂

Totally forgot to add and update reading on this yesterday.

First chapter - as all fantasy books do - was a little overwhelming, but I'm invested in learning a lot more.
