Third book of the year complete.

The Butchering Art.

I had completely forgotten the first game 'Dead Or Alive'!

How did i forget this game?

Great intro game to be fair. Deceptively simple, but very clearly shows Arisu's strengths and the importance of even small things

Also forgot how much I loved Karube 🤣

First thing: I'd forgotten how quiet everything is! No unless background musuc for 'tension'. Just unsettling quiet.

I genuinely love that.

I decided to watch the dub this time—not the sub—and it feels really werid 😅 but my logic was I can pay more attention to the action and background and stuff this way as not needing to read

Also—also—we couldn't even ask Tassh what THEY WANTED regarding the qunari/riviani identity.

Honestly I felt a bit weird advising on that as Rook. Because really unless Rook is a qunari LoF it doesn't feel like they have enough info to advice. But if they are a LoF then conflict of interest...

Second book finished in 2026:

The Lathe Of Heaven.

(I feel I've got a theme going here)
