I just finished the latest InCryptid, for the first time there were two POV characters and they’re my two favourites, which was nice. It was pretty good. As usual the status quo got a bit shaken up by the end, but for once I’m not a big fan of it.

Being as vague as possible for spoiler reasons it feels like the author wanted to undo something she did years ago but couldn’t just write around the changes that had already happened. Most of the main novels add new characters to the lineup and the most interesting part to me is seeing how the family adapts. The latest “new” character will potentially change the dynamic in an interesting way, but the novels are so hyper-focused that you don’t really get to see much outside of the current immediate crisis. The short stories between books are fun, but there’s never enough slice of life for me.

As for my gym audiobooking (The Wise Man’s Fear), I am about halfway through my least favourite sections of the story. I have no idea how these spoiler tags are meant to work, so I’ll just say Kvothe has finished learning to love, and now he will learn to fight, you know where I am if you’ve read it. In my head Tempi is Silent Bob, I know it’s pretty much the opposite of his physical description but it’s all I can see.
