Yeah, it's a tad distracting...
Anyway, I'm finally back into this reread! :D Enjoying it immensely!!
I'm also 60 pages into BH. I'm reading that at home, and MoI at work. Heh. I skipped right over MT, because the thought of reading it didn't make my blood race. I'll have to get back to it another time.

Heh. I was just gonna ask some stuff about when the Bridgeburners and Barghast liberate Capustan. Itkovian (And what an extraordinary character he is!!!!! ) pulls the Reve trick on Rath'Fener. I wasn't sure about some of the stuff that happens in that scene, but you addressed pretty much all of it here:

Murrin, you are da man!
Hey, I want a painting of this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want that picture of Itkovian when he is on his knees!!!!!!!!!In the plaza, amidst a dreadful silence, Paran and the others watched as Itkovian slowly settled to his knees. A rotting, lifeless corpse was slumped in his arms. The lone, kneeling figure seemed - to the captain's eyes - to encompass the exhaustion of the world, an image that burned into his mind, and one that he knew would never leave him.

Itkovian is amazing.
It's been so long since I started my re-read of the series that I couldn't remember which book I left off with. So I randomly picked BH. Pretty sure I finished MT before Fatal Revenant showed up, and anyhow I'm not sure I'm up for another time through

HOLY...!!! I totally forgot about this from my first reading! I just read the scene with the T'lan Imass Second Gathering.
And it gets even better!
This babe is beyond belief!!! A few hundred thousand year-old T'lan Imass; the greatest Bonecaster; the First Soletaken; and "Elient" makes her that outrageous dragon Kulp hitched a ride with. I knew that dragon was a Bonecaster, but I sorta just assumed it was a dragon all the time. I didn't realize it was a Soletaken. This babe is too powerful, isn't she? If it wasn't for the chains that come with being a T'lan Imass, I imagine she could be some sort of uber-Tyrant if she wanted."Olar Ethil," Ay Estos said. "First among the Bonecasters. Eleint, the First Soletaken.
And it gets even better!
Too much!!Silverfox asked, "What Soletaken shape do you assume, Olar Ethil?"
"When I veer, I am as an undead twin to Tiam, who spawned all dragons."

you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?

i've had this with actors before, on the set,

trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

Well, I'm done with this reread. On to HoC!
It amazes me how Erikson can be so moving in so damned few words!!The Jaghut child, a girl of but a handful of years, wandered from the wounded warren as if lost, her small hands folded together on her lap in a manner she must have learned from her long-dead mother. A small detail, but it granted her a heart-breaking dignity that started tears in Paran's eyes.

Just wait until Bonehunters. There are some awesome kids in that. Though I don't really know exactly what happens to them...Fist and Faith wrote:Well, I'm done with this reread. On to HoC!

Yup, I'm at the second to most recent one and I STILL freak out about Whiskeyjack. I don't think I'll get over that.Cameraman Jenn wrote:I just reached a point in Memories of Ice that has me screaming NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whiskeyjack CANT be DEAD.

Spoiler is about someone who isn't dead yet (as far as I am in the books)
Spoiler
If he killes Fiddler I swear to god I'll stop reading the books. And sell them. And never think about them again, except to be mad that he's killed Fiddler. And I'll probably go to one of his signings and punch him. Or at least pout a lot. Probably with the pouting.

I will only allow erikson to live if Fiddler turns into a ghost like the others and appears CONSTANTLY. Even then I will be angry.
