The endless hour’s about to begin.” < me, attempting to read this book.
4 stars for text as well
It took 5 tries for this book to stick. The first 4 times, I was listening more than reading, & I somehow skipped the same chapter each time, & pieces of others as well, so I was very lost. But I persisted & tried again, realized the previous mistakes, & it stuck.
“I am driven by curiosity.”
Complaint: no Kruppe. (Was he still alive at the end of Gardens? I can't remember anymore.) Several characters that sounded similar to him & I got excited & then quickly disappointed.
"Doesn’t sit well proclaiming an uprising, then not showing up to lead it…"
I was significantly more invested in the characters in this book, mostly not in a good way, but there were a few I did not want to see die (major spoiler:Icarium & Mappo ). Most of the other standout characters for me, I was more interested in their potential death 😅
"From something delicate to something brutal, a pattern repeated through all of history. These truths weary me, down to my very soul.”
I do feel like I've missed some thing(s) possibly at the end (I was hurrying to finish in April, & I was just TIRED of this book), but I'm afraid to Google because of spoilers 😅
"The god you no longer worship took your hands. So now you pulled him down. Don’t mess with mortals.”
I'm definitely interested in continuing, in a month or two. I need a long breath after this.
“Time makes of us believers. Timelessness makes of us unbelievers.”
