so-soThere were some genuinely good moments in this book, but on the other hand, there were so many toxic male fantasy tropes.
MC being afflicted by madness was fun for a while until it was just taking too long to cure and I got sick of being hammered over the head of how everything he perceived was fake.
I could have also gone without the martial rape garbage.
so-soA lot of the plot points in this book were really weird and unnecessary, but when the book dealt with the main plot it was fine.
There were some parts where I was wondering if it was the aurhor's poorly disguised fetish or if it was something with the game lore itself that he borrowed from
so-soJust finished this and it was okay. There were some really stupid plot points and decisions made but it was tolerable. This and the other two novels following it also seem to be taking place and are the cause of the events in The Out of the Abyss module. (My OOTA campaign is on a hiatus currently, but it's so amusing to me that my characters are unfortunately there to experience all of that mess)

Last week was very off for me. I got very little reading done due to fatigue and things out of my control. Made little progress with Archmage, and was too tired for any physical reads. I hope this week will go better.

I am still struggling to find time to sit down and read WFTD, but I am aiming for next week. In the meantime I am continuing my Drizzt book binge, they are ones I can kind of zone out on and it wouldn't make much of a difference, so I listen to them when I play my fav MMO.

pickA fair few plot twists, some pretty predictable others not so much. The writing kept me interested and invested the whole way through, which for a six hundred page book is pretty impressive. Overall really enjoyed this one #pick #homecoming
#SchoolSpirit
The subtitle of this book is “On #Homecoming and Belonging. This is one of my favorite quotes from it that I think a lot about in this divided world we live in:
"If you want to make a society work, then you don't keep underscoring the places where you're different-you underscore your shared humanity."
#SchoolSpirit Day 14: Only six days after our #Homecoming from Paris - now traveling again in a few hours to Moominland. Naturally, I brought these books with me.
