:( my boy guts, :(((( that's all I have to say about him. I also did not Bel ve manga could feel so human and have so much emotion holy crap. Also Griffith could have just kept it in his pants but I really like seeing Griffith not all composed, it's interesting to think if Griffith was destroyed by guts leaving beacuse he cared about him or if he had felt that he lost an important pawn

This was a REALLY fun book, however, it is not as half as dark as some people make it out to be. I love Abercrombie's writing style, I think the book would have come out as edgelord-ish without the humor. my only complaint is how big the book is, like physically it is really hard to read in bed.

READ THIS RIGHT NOW!!!
this is such a hopeful and inspiring book, I have been going through some rough times and this has made me feel a lot better, this is defiantly one of my favorite Pratchett books! But Vorbis can suck my unfashionable parts.

"But I'm me," he said, Vorbis stood up, uncertanly and followed Burtha across the desert.
That got me

After my dad harassed me for years I finally read this book, it's my dads' favorite book of all time, I liked it but it's not really a favorite book.
- I really liked how laid back this was for sci-fi, the plot summed up is just, some dude wants revenge and his cat.
- I liked how straightforward the writing style, it's right to the point.
- It feels old but not as old as it really is
- I really wished Miles and Belle had a bit more dimension to them, but I think that is just personal preference though I prefer character-centered books.
- Pete is awesome
