Bro, I hadn’t even seen the announcement come out that #3 was released!

(I’m behind on my email, leave me alone)

Of course I dropped everything and picked it up. After all, the last book left me off right before Raon got his revenge. This one opens right up there. It’s a bit gruesome but hey, it’s warranted. Who tortures a baby for years and doesn’t expect to get fucked up afterwards?

Cale is getting to the end of his knowledge of the series he’s in, so he’s still amassing everything, manipulating everyone he can to think well of him, and hedging his fucking bets.

As always, we inch closer to the end. Stakes are rising. His kids are growing ever more powerful. He’s growing more powerful and his reputation only grows brighter.

Welcome to the Menagerie.

Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.


What is M?

I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
