I cannot believe I read this all in French (with the help of dictionaries and word lookups). Surprisingly, it was a great book to read intensively because of how disconnected the character was. I kept having to ask myself if it was just me not getting it due to the language or if it was the story.

"Jamie's golden hand cracked him across the mouth so hard the other knight went stumbling down the steps. His lantern fell and smashed, and the oil spread out, burning. 'You are speaking of a highborn lady, ser. Call her by her name. Call her Brienne.' Connington edged away from the spreading flames on his hands and knees. 'Brienne. If it please my lord.... Brienne the Beauty.'" GOOSEBUMPS. I think i just love a good 'protector' move and wow gimme more of THIS Jamie.

"You ought not to have hit a poor old beggar! / If he turns out to be a god from heaven / it will end badly! Gods disguise themselves / as foreigners and strangers to a town, / to see who violates their holy laws, / and who is good."

I tend to be anti-religion, but if you need to believe that this happens to keep you honest, 🙏🏼

Oh my GOD does Ivan go on and on and on and ON!!!! Just shut up bro! No one cares about your damn poem thing. Thank god for the audio book for this because I would have given up the ghost a while back 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

If he actually just focussed on the story of the three brothers this might actually be a decent book! And about 600 pages shorter
