there's some uh SNAKES! and then the book's full of snakes, and you drown in snakes. it's all snakes. it's snakes all the way down. j.j. abrams wanted to take all this stuff out because it's real heavily laden with snakes and it becomes hard to follow because our heroes become snakes, and they are all married to snakes, and they use snakes as weapons! they eat snakes for fuel, and they become snake robots for a while. it's very confusing, got rid of most of the snakes. there's still a lot of snakes, but i mean, there's just a regular amount of snakes for the adventure zone, which, for one thing, is still an enormous amount of snakes.

another outstanding adaptation!! these are all just so very very good. the slow unfolding of the mystery is making me suuuuuch a crazy person. the tiny details are PHENOMENAL. i keep catching myself getting so emotional. the jokes and the heart both translate so well to the page. i have been enjoying this so so much. as always taako is my main man, but everybody here is so good. special shoutouts to kravitz coming in, merle's pan dilemmas, lucretia actually getting to me, and the whole mother and son of it all. there's so many emotions here! ALSO idk just. the found family. this is just so very good! and we're figuring things out a bit at a time! and i love this so much!

Taako and Death was the ship I didn't know I needed. Also, legitimate tears at the end. I think this was the most beautiful story so far.

So great. It’s been so fun seeing each chapter in the Balance arc come to life. Every book has felt fresh and new even though I’ve listened to TAZ: Balance several times. Carey’s illustrations bring the story, the characters, and the emotions to life beautifully. This has definitely been my favorite so far (and we get our first Julia mention in this one!), but I feel like I’ve thought that after finishing each one.
