Blood and bone.
“All this was long gone. Ashes. Ages gone. High above, the Visitor arced like a flaming brand tossed by the gods. One soon to fall.”
Easily the Top 1 ICE book. JACURUKU is just one of the greatest, most insane fukin locations in the malazan world.

“Where have all the years gone? Of late, whenever he knelt to drink from a still pool, he saw a stranger’s face gazing up from the water’s depths. When had those crow’s-feet first appeared around his pale blue eyes? How long ago had his hair turned from sunlight into snow?”
“The goat had robbed him of His glory and his shame, both at once.”
A clash of kings (ASOIAF book 2).
“He is the prince that was promised. And his is the song of ice and fire.”
All the POVS were entertaining and interesting in their own right, but Tyrion, Davos and Arya were the undeniable GOAT POVS.
10/10. peak fiction.
“Godfrey was a ferocious warrior. When he vowed to become a lord, he took the beast regent serosh upon on his back to suppress the ceaseless lust for battle that raged within.”
Batman: ego.
Perfect encapsulation of who batman is and why he does what he does. Beautiful.
10/10.
Finished toll the hounds, book 8 of malazan.
So vast and grand yet so personal. Where grief, loss, struggle and redemption are examined, emulated, defined, redefined and ultimately, given true meaning through the actions of these tragically beautiful characters.
