Okay so I've read the first chapter ad it seems really interesting so far so I'm excited. I've been wanting to read this forget but the final push of motivation was the pride readalong badge. So i guess I'm killing two birds with one stone !!

"There was the matter of the dancing corpses," grated Jakob of Thorn. "And the bargaining with demons," added Baptiste. Balthazar threw up his hands. "You bargain with one demon and that's all anyone talks about!" The banter in this book is gold so far. This is certainly also a bit of a departure from my reads lately, forgot what it was like to read a book that was meant for an adult audience. Abercrombie is not shy in his use of profanity and detailed descriptions, but it hasn't felt like it was out of place or added just to use vulgarity just because he can.

I’m torn between the summer reading picnics I have with my friend and snuggled up under blankets with some hot tea during a storm ☺️

this was a banger but not as batshit insane as i remember. it’s a good satisfying end but there’s not as much of my favorite non-arena parts as i thought (haymitch, bow slinging, and snow). is a great rebellion story and a good showcase of complex characters but it lost some of the uniqueness. i have my own complicated (not fully cemented) thoughts on peeta vs gale which i will keep to myself in the interest of world peace; all i will say is it’s a well done debate on what is healthiest for you vs a personality/passion match and i think the right call was made.
