Spell of Fate
Aug. 4th, 2012 06:10 pmAnother book finished - this one ended mid-action abruptly enough that I made disgruntled growling sounds upon discovering the last page. Bruce asked if someone in the book had died unexpectedly. JUST THE WHOLE DAMN BOOK! Good thing I already downloaded the final book in the series, bwahahahahahahahah.
Anyway, this one was a bit more serious/action, with context-driven jokes building up over several pages and fewer one-liners. But I saved you a couple:
Eden and Zalzyn Shaa had their eccentricities, but Arznaak, the first-born, had a far more intimate relationship with the borderland of sanity.
But then why was she feeling these curls of electricity? Why, although she didn't particularly like cats or cat-based metaphors, did she feel like nothing other than purring of all things?
Anything approximately human but unambiguously male might do for Dalya in a pinch.
"He seems to specialize in making people nervous," commented Leen. "You seem better at making them aggravated."
"I am requisitioning your vehicle."
"You couldn't fit inside it," Favored yelled back through the speaking-tube, "and you couldn't fly it if you could!"
"Of course," the god said impatiently. "I am requisitioning you too."
