I took a cold shower. Or, at least, I took one second of a cold shower, during which I screamed the f-word and almost broke my ankle lunging away from the stream of water. How the hell were people in books always taking cold showers?

"I know how to tell a story, Gus, and I know how to string a sentence together. If you swapped out all my Jessicas for Johns, do you know what you'd get? Fiction. Just fiction. Ready and willing to be ready by anyone, but somehow by being a woman who writes about women, I've eliminated half the Earth's population from my potential readers, and you know what? I don't feel ashamed of that. I feel pissed. That people like you will assume my books couldn't possibly be worth your time, while meanwhile you could shart on live TV and the New York Times would praise your bold display of humanity."

The big plot twist, I didn't see coming. The smaller second plot twist was pretty obvious and fun to watch unfold ;)

Maybe I just read too many romance novels, but not getting anything like a HEA kind of feels like a slap in the face these days.
I found the magic system fascinating, and the geography of the world mostly confusing. There were a few odd threads that didn't go anywhere, like wtf was up with the entire Rosko storyline? but generally it was a fun read.
Until the ending. Which moved really fast, cast around itself looking for somewhere to grab on, and ultimately floundered into a weird litfic ambiguous sunset. Too bad.

Kinda feels like it could have been a couple chapters of exposition in book 3 instead but I dunno

I'm kind of thinking about DNFing this one. I'm close to done, but it's turned out to be a political drama, rather than a fantasy action novel, and I was expecting the latter. I dunno. I'm like, almost done with it - but the urge to pick it up is so weak, I've been working on it for a couple weeks now, which is unlike me.
