finished up to chapter 22

seriously this is like Ms. Vampire Who Lives In My Neighborhood except it's drama instead of feelgood slice-of-life

also the lead character is the vampire and it's in california rather than japan and she tries to hide the fact that she's a vampire and she's not as old as sophie is etc. etc.

(but at least the werewolves are still fictional!)

deep (in more ways than one) dive into the lore of the Pathfinder games, in a pretty compelling (and sometimes dark, also in more ways than one) story.

you may want to have the Pathfinder Wiki on hand when reading, especially to figure out where specific named locations are, as Eando does wander through quite a lot of geography. though do be aware that if you look up the main character (or some other articles) you may find spoilers.

end of "City of Serpents"

finished "...And Your Enemies Closer"

four chapters to go!

end of chapter 14 (page number is a dummy placeholder... why can't it be left blank?)

I'm listening to the audiobook version. Actually started yesterday. Finished the first chapter.

finished chapter "Darkest Before the Fall"

finished "Fear in a Handful of Rust"

I feel like the story is kicking into high gear. Much suspense.

finished the last chapter, "The Moments of Enjoyment", as well as the book as a whole.

"We must remember that life is often long enough to be patient with the time worthwhile things take, but it's also short, and we can start now."

finished chapter 15 "The Generosity of Kindness" and chapter 16 "The Depth of Curiosity"

"These small, good, ordinary things can shape a day into something good, even amid a string of not-so-good days. ... When they pile up, we slowly begin to have something we can stand on, things we have some control over, a ballast that can steady us in our days."

end of chapter 14 "The Trying Pursuit of Perfection"

"...success is just a set of well-curated failures: a collection of smaller mistakes that we paint over and learn from, again and again, until our fear of being bad at something is replaced by the confidence that comes from experience."

end of chapter 13 "The Push and Pull of Distraction"

nothing like a deadline (the book being due at the library) to get me to read it lol
