"I started this with little knowledge beyond Audible reviews, and was thinking it's been ok (but derivative) so far - reviews on GR are telling me it's going to get arguably "worse" so I'm bracing and hoping it stays fairly entertaining.

“This is where the wise man turns away. This is where the holy kneel and call on God. These are the last miles, my brothers. Don't look to me to save you. Don't think I will not spend you.

Follow me, and I will break your heart.”
― Emperor of Thorns

The dead one tried to show me hell, but it was a pale imitation of the horror I can paint on the darkness in a quiet moment.”
