I remember struggling with the heavy start of Rant's story last time but not this time, I am straight into it and loving it.

Every time I read Spindle I just get the feels having read about the Bridgeburners for nigh 20 years now. Pure nostalgia.

I confess I have not yet read TGINW....so I feel like getting book 2 should trigger it.

I grabbed it the day it came out (Always supporting the Malazan books) from a pre-order...took it to the cottage that summer for a vacay read, and got too busy with the kids and their cousins ect to read it, and it's just been languishing on my shelf since...I have no real excuse.

I accept your boos. I shall be fixing it as soon as I'm done the second War Arts Saga book, tonight or tomorrow.

Looking over Abyss's ded-thread, I saw why you put it down the last time. I'm not going to lie, the opening to this book hurts. It's really worth the heartbreak through and it's not unearned or unrewarded. Without going into specific details, Sarlis and Rant deserve to be Witnessed and keep Malazan's overall theme of compassion close to your heart.

HOLY shit, I had completely forgotten that...Huh.

I would say that 2021 was still maybe really close to COVID and the collective trauma of that event probably made it hard to get through in my entertainment space. I don't even remember getting to Chapter 4...hahah.
