Hello! I got house of open wounds and I’m back (Merry Christmas I guess). I wish I could say something more articulate than what you’ve already said, I get why some people liked it more, it’s got a defined cast and Yasnic was always brilliant and it probably is a bit easier to keep track of plus it’s still got my best friends fucked up god relationships and evil healing but ugh I missed the first book. I missed the rush of two characters who had no connection stumbling into each other and one picking up the plot to get its miserable relay baton to the next person. I missed feeling like Ilmar was being dissected and I could see its guts and sinew while it tried to haunt me back. And I don’t think anything can ever top the absolute euphoria of Hellgram finding his wife and how it suddenly made complete sense or getting into the Reproach and wanting to put like 5 of my D&D characters into a Situation. Also why did he end the book still getting called Jack. It was good, great even, and I feel like I could be insane over any number of moving parts, just not As insane :(
oh you are SO correct 100% i agree with you entirely on the relay baton comment that's exactly what i loved so much about the first book and ILMAR. MY BELOVED ILMAR. expecting me to care about anything when we all know the reproach is back in that city is mind boggling. ohhhhhh and yasnic :(((( when god was telling him he needed to tell them his proper name otherwise they wouldn't put the right name on his headstone i could have wept. and now yasnic is bound just as much of the rest of them due to the life saving healing like of course he always WAS but now he UNDERSTANDS. ugh! city of last chances you will always be famous!!!

Freud should put a bunch of water snails in there. Or however you call the fuckers in English. One time someone looks over whilst Snail has his shirt off and you just see a whole army of snails floating and spinning around in his back.

i'm listening to the audiobook of city of last chances and first of all. i adore it. second of all, my favourite part of it so far has been everyone else in the city dealing with political dissent, gang rivalries, false imprisonment, general consequences of being under occupied rule, and then ruslav, who's biggest concern right now is that he might be a having a bit of a fag moment.
why are dudes in fanfic always getting hit with freight train orgasms. why not an orient express orgasm, classy and romantic. where are the shinkansen train orgasms? his orgasm hit him like the TGV atlantique breaking the passenger rail speed record. like the shanghai maglev, his orgasm was a feat of engineering but something of a commercial disappointment.
i forgot to post this back when i was going insane (as if i'm not still insane). but. but.
