Bro I’m still not over how people are named as descriptions. It sounds foolish in my opinion sorry 😭 wdym your name is patience and chivalry…

Alright let’s see if I can finish this book now. I put it on hold for a year or so so I forgot what happened oops. Let’s hope reading will jog my memory cos I’m not restarting lol

I feel stupid reading this book I still have no idea what’s going on and where the plot is going *sigh*

Im in a reading slump sort of. I put this on hold cos I didn’t think id get back into it for a few weeks but I’m back. I was meant to be having a “break” from reading but well that idea went out the window lol

32% on hold

“There are two traditions about the custom of giving royal offspring names suggestive of virtues or abilities. …somehow these names are binding; that when such a name is attached to a child who will be trained in the Skill, somehow the Skill melds the name to the child, and the child cannot help but grow up to practice the virtue ascribed to him or her by name.” Ch. 6

Makes sense but I still don’t like it.

Im not sure about Burrich. Hes nice one minute and the next he’s sort of not. I want him to be a father figure in Fitz’s life, someone Fitz comes to care for. Will see how their relationship ends up.

So far its vibes mostly, the comings and goings of a bastard village boy. I do like the descriptions though I don’t exactly know where the plot is going.
