Chapter 20 or about 60%
It is about different forms of abuse. The abused will do anything for the abuser, even go to Hell for them. Outsiders will not help even when asked for it, abandoning the abused or perpetuating it.
Escapism this is not.

I listened to the first book on audio. This copy is an ebook. I am not sure about the spelling of the names. This is making it hard to understand. I was going to borrow the Witch King ebook, but that list is weeks long. Power through or go on a long list? Ideas?

I just finished the book. I have mixed feelings about it. The ending was satisfying, but the delivery was so dry and matter of fact. I am not sure if that was supposed to be a reflection of the Obin, who were not the storytellers. I am going tonsit with this for a bit. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š ๐Ÿงต

Book Three, Chapter 20.
This is very dry. Gretchen sounds like a bored university professor presenting a lecture. I like the plot.
It does make me yearn to read a Tanya Huff novel.

It is these little tidbits that make his books good. Little bits of humour everyone can identify with.

The first book of John Scalzi's I read was Red Shirt. The tongue in cheek humour had me hooked. I am here for the ride.

I didn't like Sofie as a person. I was not sure she would grow, but she finally did a little. The twists were good and unexpected. Cooper and Sofie as an item? Ew.

Lake Nolan is such a good character. I remember reading my grandmother's, then my mother's books.
The evolution of the romance genre is real. Without authors similar to Lake, that evolution would not have happened.

We started subscribing last month. A 2-person box was enough to feed 6 adults. There is little to no USA produce.
I love that we are trying new foods and discovering new recipes.
Yum.

It has a simple on dimensional storyline that delivers on the tie-ins to the original movies. Leto still can not act. The other actors were too good for this movie. 4/10โญ๏ธ
