WHATEVER THE OPPOSITE OF GATEKEEPING IS, I WOULD LIKE TO BE ACTIVELY DOING THAT

Perhaps not my avenue to frolic through, but it is an adorable and mostly well-thought-out world. Can do no wrong.

I would have liked this a whole lot more if it had a stronger through-line to connect maybe some albums, decades, ups and downs, etc. to tie it all back to herself in some single voice or theme. Regardless of how it really just gives a couple notes from her, one song at a time, I can listen to her read even a phonebook all day. (audiobook)

It's basically that Sad Ant With Bindle meme "when your bitch wife who hates you still won't let you fuck her hopeless and meek cousin." MAN SHUT UP

Guess we witewary some sort of... heh... Knights Wadiant, huh? (Slaps shoulder)

I was expecting the understated yet frightful Sanderlanche to build up but was met with eyeroll twists that really felt like loose change grabbed off the floor and presented as gifts. The first 600 pages of this book were so unmoving. So many loose threads I'm expected to care for going forward? This could have been a 400-page burn, instead I guess I'm supposed to put in A FURTHER 2400+ pages to understand a world I increasingly feel is not yet thought out. It's not a bad book. But my faith wavers.

jesus fucking christ ☹️ Both the downward spiral shape and religious final punch are both creative and well-done... The content matter might actually max-out whatever level of tolerance for abject disgust and evil I had within myself. Vile book.
