"Death" by Adam Chmielowski (1870)

"'Tell yourself that I'm the cause of all your woes if it makes you happy! Tell yourself I'm the merciless one, the murderous one, the bloodthirsty one, but ask yourself who I learned it from. I had the best master! Play at being the good man if you please, the man with no choices, but we both know what you really are. Peace? You'll never have peace, Bloody-Nine. You're made of death!'

"Logen would have liked to deny it, but it would have been more lies. Bethod truly knew him. Bethod truly understood him. Better than anyone. His worst enemy, and still his best friend."

The Last Argument of Kings, Joe Abercrombie

english editions of the first law range from great (gollancz) to decent (orbit) but i'm mad that there's never been one that used the cover art for the russian editions. like just look at this.

Imagining the life that Ferro and Logen could have had together.

What would have happened if Ferro did know the word for sorry in the common tongue? Would her elbow-in-the-face been such a death sentence to their relationship? Or would it have naturally fallen apart along with their futile quest?

Would their relationship been long and full of warm and cherished memories? Probably not.

Do they deserve better than the revenge that they thought they needed, and where they ended up because of that? Absolutely yes.

I don't know, I'm wine drunk and upset for fictional characters again.

I LOVE IT WHEN ENDINGS CIRCLE BACK TO THE BEGINNING!!!

I LOVE IT WHEN CHARACTERS MIRROR EACH OTHER!!!!!

I LOVE IT WHEN CHARACTERS SEAL THEIR FATES IN THEIR FIRST SCENES!!!!

I LOVE IT WHEN CHARACTERS' GREATEST TRAITS ARE ALSO WHAT DOOM THEM IN THE END!!!!!

glokta's inner monologue is so fascinating to me. half of the time he's staring down the barrel of a gun, waiting for the other shoe to drop, fully expecting to meet his end around every corner. anticipating his own death with all the fervor of a man who has known nothing but self-loathing and betrayal for years. the other half of the time he's being a nasty little hater. I love it.

On second thought, things would be worse.

Reading the series for the first time (just finished LAOK!) and this is the bulk of what I've learned, I think. That and Bayaz is a slimy, miserable little man.

Give Malacus Quai the gun, I think.

Me when I finished the Last Argument of Kings, and everyone was back where they started, Bayaz got away with it, and nobody learned anything or improved society in anyway

hey sorry to tell you this but we sent your boyfriend on a quest. yeah its— uh huh, yeah no it's fruitless. he'll lose more than he gains. No he'll come back, he just won't be the same. Sorry about that.
