"Not a bone-joint of his, not the root of a fingernail, let alone anything larger, was not full of love for the maiden."

..is a very romantic way of calling someone obsessed.

"And then Cai sulked, and spoke angry, jealous words. (..)
And then Gwalchmai said to Cai, 'You could have said something more pleasant had you wished. And it is not proper for you to vent your rage and anger on me.'"

I love this exchange in Peredur son of Efrog. G-'s just not taking the bait. ♥️

"He found Meliot of Logres all armed upon his horse, and a right comely knight was he. Meliot moveth toward Clamados right swiftly and Clamados toward him. They cleft the mail of their habergeons asunder."

This is what I learned from reading Gideon the Ninth. And how little church-related vocabulary I know.

Tainted Grail patch 1.1: the excuse to replay and try different dialogue options.

I love the idea of Minala and Quick Ben being best buddies, sharing a drink in a tavern and shit-talking Kalam while he sits between them, scowling (but secretly loves it because his two favourite people are giving him all this attention).

Nine books and there's a female Khundryl commander! It's like Esslemont stuck his head in and said, "Hey Steve! ....and women...."

It’s always a pleasure to see you sauntering over, wizard..

Good thing I kept reading, though, because chapter three was the best. The. Best.

Also, I'm here for Lord Ruin in a scorched, blood-stained gambeson, sleeves torn off leaving his long, pale arms bare. Where's all the artists willing to take my money to draw that?

How to talk about Malazan without talking about Malazan? All right, so Dust of Dreams..

This is why I enjoy Esslemont's books. Good for Shell that she's in NotME.

Shurq Elalle and Hellian took a wrong turn somewhere.
But it's fine, there's worms and wine aplenty.

I love that someone finally (respectfully) calls Itkovian out for his worst timing.

Good thing there's fantasy novels to read to escape the nightmares of the real world
