Picker could not pull her eyes from the man. He sat hunched over, on a chair that had yet to find a table, still clutching in his hands the small rag of tattered cloth on which something had been written. The alchemist had done all he could to return life to what had been a mostly destroyed, desiccated body, and Baruk's talents had been stretched to their limits - there was no doubt of that.

She knew of him, of course. They all did. They all knew, as well, where he had come from.

He spoke not a word. Had not since the resurrection. No physical flaw kept him from finding his voice, Baruk had insisted.

The Imperial Historian had fallen silent. No-one knew why.

(...)

"Sure," Spindle snapped, "a story to break our hearts all over again! What's the value in that?"

A rough, broken voice replied, "There is value."

Everyone fell silent, turned to Duiker.

The Imperial Historian had looked up, was studying them with dark eyes. "Value. Yes. I think, much value. But not yours, soldiers. Not yet. Too soon for you. Too soon."

"Perhaps," Baruk murmured, "perhaps you are right in that. We ask too much-"

"Of them. Yes." The old man looked down once more at the cloth in his hands.

The silence stretched.

Duiker made no move.

Picker began to turn back to her companions - when the man began speaking. "Very well, permit me, if you will, on this night. To break your hearts once more. This is the story of the Chain of Dogs. Of Coltaine of the Crow Clan, newly come Fist to the 7th Army..."

day 1

Not entirely sure why I'm calling this day 1, considering the fact that is by no means my first day of coding, but it's my first day of updating the blog about what I'm upto re: compsci, so I guess I'll take it.

Unsure whether I mentioned this in my intro post or not, but I'm currently making my way through FreeCodeCamp's courses. I'm still on the first one ("Responsive Web Design"), which is basically just HTML and CSS for beginners. I've done three of their practice-project things for that course so far, and today I did steps 1-11 of "Learn HTML Forms by Building a Registration Form," which is exactly what it sounds like. I'm trying to do at least 10 steps a day so I can stay consistent, and I'm really excited about this project, because after this I can do my first certification project.

I think the level of scaffolding that the Registration Form project provides is significantly less than previous projects, but I think that's good because it's allowed me to develop confidence in the knowledge that I've acquired throughout the past few weeks.

...and. That'll be all for today, Love y'all.

With another faint, wistful smile, Anomander Rake strode past him.

Whiskeyjack sheathed his bloodied sword, and followed.

He stared at the Tiste Andii's broad back, at the weapon that hung from it. Anomander Rake, how can you bear this burden? This burden that has so thoroughly broken my heart?

But no, that is not what so tears at me.

Lord of Moon's Spawn, you asked me to step aside, and you called it a mercy. I misunderstood you. A mercy, not to the Women of the Dead Seed. But to me. Thus your sorrowed smile when I denied you.

Ah, my friend, I saw only your brutality - and that hurt you.

Better, for us both, had you crossed blades with me.

For us both.

And I - I am not worth such friends. Old man, foolish gestures plague you. Be done with it. Make this your last war.

Make it your last.

Finally finished reading the God is not willing and, wow, let me tell you that Steven Erikson really never disappoints me.

I never forgot why I fell in love with the Malazan series, but reading this book reminded me of just how freaking much I love it - I love the writing, I love the stories, I love the characters, and I love the world. The world - I love it so much, and it felt so good going back to it. (I think this is part of the reason I couldn't fully get into the Karkanas books yet - mostly it's the different writing style, but I think it's also bc the whole world is obviously so different).

I think one of the things I love most about these books is that they don't tell the stories of the characters - no, they tell you the story of the world, and it does so through the stories of single characters; but the single character is always so small compared to everything else; so often they're victims of the world and we are told their tragedies. Even when they're gods. But even though they're small in grand scheme of things, they're still the protagonist of their own life (like all the Malazan marines - they're just doing their job, and their so small in such a big world, but they're still so important).

I love it, it's so beautiful, it's a beautiful way to tell a story, and to be honest I don't think I'll ever get over how much I love this whole series.

#malazan #my posts #i loved how this book was a new story in the sense that all the characters are new #except for Spindle #(spindle my beloved)#but it still fit perfectly in the main series #you can see that the world has changed but it still somehow the same at the same time #and we readers know more than the characters #bc we know all the history while they dont #they talk about everything that happened in thw main series like its a myth a legend #they cant believe that spindle was a bridgeburner #but we readers KNOW that its all true we know everything that happened #also on another note #i love how despite how the time changes the malazan marines are always the same lmao always idiotic dirty crackhead with a big heart #who want tk help people #i love them so much #the malazan book of the fallen

Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson

After repeatedly being told to read this series I finally caved, and now I regret not reading it sooner. Erikson is a master at building a complex fantasy world with engaging characters. While Erikson does a lot of "show, don't tell" I have faith that things will either be explained or enough hints will be dropped that the reader can figure it out themselves. And when things are mysterious and not well understood? Well, the characters don't know what the heck is going on either. It feels like you're along for the ride as the Bridgeburners struggle to outsmart and outfight their opponents. It also feels like Erikson, as an author, has faith in his audience's ability to pick up on what he hints at. This is a long series, but now that I have a taste I'm excited to dive into it.

This series feels like the story Brandon Sanderson wishes The Stormlight Archives was.
