the mercy of gods

Ch 1 pg 3 David

There's a scholarship named Dafyd.  I'm calling him David from now on.  David likes a girl named Else who's boyfriend Tonnner is in charge of the project David works on.  But it's not like David is trying to get his boss's girlfriend cause David's Aunt is the HBIC in terms of who gets funding so David would be on whatever project she tells people he should be on.  David has a sort of go along get along attitude and likes to put people at ease.  But it's about God Damned time that he grew the duck up and started living up to his potential rather than spending all his time worrying that he wasn't making other people's lives easier.  His first step in doing so is staying at this work party and networking instead of going home like he wants to.  He heard a rumour that someone is trying to take over their department and he talks to Else about it.

Ch 2 pg 16 Jessyn

Jessyn is on David's team.   I gather she's an older lady.  They don't give ages but from the conversation it seems she's older than irynna and a guy named Nol is too.

Humans came to this planet 3000ish years ago through the ring gates.  But they don't know that.  What they know is the human biology and the native biology don't mix.  That is until now when their team cracked the code.

They're celebrating this achievement. Jessyn isn't anymore cause she's got am angry email from Tonner that just says we need to talk tomorrow.  There is a special place in hell for people like Tonner.

Ch 3 pg 23

Someone higher up has declared that the team is going to be split up.   Sounds to me like David should  have a talk with his aunt to see what she knows. Toner is convinced they have been betrayed.  

That's meaningless.  What matters is the girl listening in on their conversation while eating a sandwich.  She's been possessed by something she calls the swarm.  It's going to use her and then kill her and move onto another host.  This feels like the protomolecule alien magic.

Ch 4 pg 33

The betrayer is named Rickar.  Autocorrect will be referring to him as Richard if he's a going concern.  

Tonner feels bad.  Mostly cause he feels embarrassed. 

Ch 5 pg 42

The swarm has moved onto a new host and finds it still enjoys sweet pickles the way it's old host did.  As its host it introduces itself to someone named samar austad.

Some of the people on David's team talk about their meaningless lives.  It becomes meaningful when someone tells them that Samar Austad has been murdered.  Probably by whoever the swarm is currently inhabiting. 

Ch 6 pg 52

Samar was in charge of the group Richard was going to. So they don't really have to worry about their group getting broken up.  But they're also murder suspects. 

Also, that's additionally, more meaningless than I previously thought cause not only is the swarm a thing but there's things in space heading to their planet.  Probably space ships.

Part 2: catastrophe pg 71

It's an excerpt from a log where the writer says basically that the universe is cold and unfeeling so it's ok for them to be the same.

Ch 7 pg 73

This chapter is heckin fun.  It describes the invasion from the invaders side of things.  How they observe that we communicate with only a limited sonic and light spectrum. They are a hivemind and so they are interested in how we of the same species are not connected and how different people in different places are kind of doing the same stuff even though we are separated. 

The fun part is they've discovered another significant species. The way they describe it as mostly existing underground it's like an intelligent fungus.  I'm guessing this is what the swarm is.  The invaders aren't going to worry about them.

Makes me kind of excited about the idea of people and the swarm working together to defend their planet.

With the amount of communication the planet is sending to the invaders they kind of expect to be attacked by spaceships as they kinda figured out the people must have arrived here on spaceships. But no,  there aren't any space ships to attack them.  

But the people do shoot some nukes at them.  These are easily dealt with by the probes and don't make it anywhere near the ships.

Ch 8 pg 81

The invaders are like mini Thanos and say they'll only kill 1/8th of the population. We see one of the resesrch assistants on David's team die.  He describes it as being stung by a bee.

Ch 9

David is taken to be Corraled with other scientists after successfully hiding out for 5 days.  He meets one of the other lab assistants on his old project there.  Alien life exists and they are assholes.

Ch 10

David is caged up with a veritable who's who of the planet. They might be on a spaceship. The swarm is there and calls the invaders they great enemy. 

Ch 11

A group decides to fight the aliens.  It kinda works.  They successfully overpower one.  But then as it is nearing the end it kinda explodes poison on everyone nearby.  David is near by and has all his clothes melted off by the acid spray and has to be nursed back to health.

Ch 12 pg 131

They appear to be nearing the end of their spaceship journey.

The only interesting thing that happens is that Tonner is there and Else tells him she will be staying in her own room and he's all butt hurt about it. 

I view this as a win for David.

Part three puzzles pg 147

War is the way for the CarryX.  It doesn't matter if its unethical. To not be at war would be denying the truth of all life.

Ch 13 pg 149

blood mirror ch 55 to the end.

Ch 55

Kip and his mind controlled animals are trying to steal some gunpowder.  It's a trap.  But they ( at least kip and the grizzly bear) make it out alive.  But if Karris's brother knows enough to set a trap it means kips whole sabotage thing isnt gonna work anymore.  They're gonna have to do war war now.

Ch 56

Teia has a chapter.  I didn't think anything interesting happened.  She still hasn't murdered anyone.

Ch 57

Gavin is still in prison and has a bad dream.

Ch 58

Teia does her murder

Ch 59

Kip us preparing for war.  Conn Arthur is the guy that can control a grizzly bear.  The dramatic reveal is he has a brother that can also do that.  He died and his grizzly bear is kinda running amuck. Kip has a two birds one stone idea to send him on a suicide mission.  Conn Arthur agrees to this.  Kip can't sleep but he can lie upon his wife's bussom and wait for the day to come.

Ch 60

Tiea is doing other stuff sneaking around after her murder.  She's killed the lady thats officially in charge but then she sneaks into the room of the magic lady thats really in charge and she's got ironfist chained to a wall.

Ch 61 pg 455

Gavin is in a black luxin cell.  He has a new imaginary fr8end that might be real.  This one isn't here to torture him.  It's here to comfort him.  Cause this is the last cell.  It's not meant to be escaped from to the next one.  This is it.  Gavin is fully trapped for good.  He's gonna die down here.

Ch 62

Teia kills ironfists sister even though he begs her not to.

Ch 63 pg 477

Liv"s dad's wife is gonna be assassinated tonight and she knows it and that's that.

Ch 64 pg 483

Kip does war.  He's outnumbered 2 to 1 but he wins cause that's what's in the script.  Funny part happens when a blue wight challenges him to a dual and kip just shoots him Indiana Jones style.

Ch 65 

Kip's grandfather has come to tell Gavin that it's time for him to die.  The imaginary friend is telling Gavin nows his chance to escape.  But he doesn't wanna kill anyone woth black luz8n cause it makes you forget.  Lots of fun reveals here.

1. Kips grandfather isn't his grandfather,  he's his dad.  We have a nice setup for an im your father scene if they wanna do that.

2. Dazen was Kip's grandfather's favorite son.  He didn't make him prism because prisms usually die in 7 years.

3. The whole plan with the war and everything was for Gavin to stab dazen with the blinding knife to take away his powers so they can restore him to sanity.

Kip's grandfather leaves Gavin down in the prison.  Presumably to kill him with poison later.

Ch 66 pg 511

Kip is doing after battle clean up.  There's lots of drama.

Ch 67 pg 521

Karris and teia talk about ironfist and the guy that requested teia be put on the mission.   Shit is all fucked up.

Ch 68

The guy that can control a bear has lost his will to fight. Maybe his will to live.  it's sad.  And there's infighting in kips army.

Ch 69

Gavin is talking to himself.  Or maybe it's a shadow of his former self or his brother's ghost or God.  And then Grinwoody shows up.  I'm personally hopeful that this is good since he's the head of the broken eye and ironfist's uncle.  But Gaven only knows him as kip's grandfather's (and actually kips dad) stooge.

Ch 70

Kip and the mighty argue about ethics until they get to wherever they're going and then kip gets on a horse to present himself to where ever it is they are.

Ch 71 pg 541

Last pocket camp 5 differences

It's all over yo

the book of elsewhere

Ch 1 prologue

There's a group of armed men.  They get blown up by a suicide bomber.

Only named character is ulafson.

There's a shadowy figure that's watching all this.  He's so tired.

Ch 2 the doctors story pg 8

The doctor is dying.  Saddest part is his medicine smells so bad his dog won't go near him.  He reminisces about an old patient he had.  Doctor is a psychiatrist. The patient was a soldier and described killing and being killed and coming back and doing it all over again.

Wonder if this is ulafson.

Ch 3 signs of life pg 11

Two characters investigating the sight of a violent scene where a bunch of people died in the hidden back rooms of a machine shop.

Characters are named B and keever.  B is the main character and mentions Ulafson in his internal monologue.

In talking about the scene there's a report from above that there are life signs.  B starts digging through The bodies and tries to find the live people.  Keever tells b the whole site is unstable and they should gtfo and specifically uses the phrase "some of us can die" which makes me think b is like the doctors patient that I think is Olafson in that he can be brought back after dying and keever is not.

They find the alive guy.  His name is Thakka.  When they try to get him to talk, he only talks about his dog.

Ch 4 water ph 23

This is fun backstory about our immortal friend.  He's born, he's Hella violent until he dies.  Then he's born again.  You know how Davy crocket killed a bear when he was 3?  This guy did it before he was 1.he killed a leviathan.  Then the crew of that ship abandoned him.  He killed an entire city.  When he comes back this time he's hatched from an egg underwater and has to swim to the surface. 

This imortal warrior is named Unute.

Ch 5 new dark pg 34

B is Unute.  Something about this whole thakka situation has upset him and he has gone awol.  This is not new.  He does this.  The government is OK with it.  When you've got an immortal warrior on your side you let things slide.

Another fun thing about the Thakka situation is that technically he was dead before B went down there and then he came back to life.  Maybe immortality is infectious.

B comes back with some dead thing with hooves.

Ch1 pg 14

Patricia Campbell is part of a monthly book  club. I get the impression that it's big.  One person talks about the book while everyone else is just the audience. Today she's the talker .  90 minutes to book club and she hasn't read the book.  

Marjorie is the dictator of book club.  She has a fake democratic process by which she claims to have never heard of any book anyone else suggests and she presents 13 books she likes to vote on.

Patricia goes to book club even though she didn't red

Patricia ad the book.  She tries to make some stuff up but Marjorie sees through it pretty quickly. But it turns out nobody read the book.

While leaving kitty shrugs invites her to a true crime book club.

Ch 2 pg 24

Kitty stops by Patricia's house and there's a thing with Patricia's daughter and it shows us that kitty is cool.  So Patricia reads the book she didnt want to in three days and goes to kitty's book club.

Patricia's mother in law comes to live with them and it sucks.  But the troops rally and it's not so bad.

Ch 3 pg 40

They chitchat about the neighborhood. The most interesting part is there's a creepy van.

Ch 4 pg 48

Patriis attacked by old mrs savage taking out the trash.

Ch 5 pg 56

People in a small town talk a lot and fast.  Who needs the news when you've got a small town gossip.  The lady that bit off Patricia`s ear, she died.

Ch 6 pg 64

Patricia goes to the lady that bit her ear off's house to bring her nephew a casserole.   She finds him in his bedroom just lying there.  Yes not breathing.  She does CPR, she used to be a nurse.  He gets up and says GTFO.  She does.  He must be a vampire. 

Ch 7 pg 70

The vampire brings back Patricia's dish.  Mom calls him hoyt cause I guess that's the name he used when he was a vampire back in her day.

Ch 12

The vampire attacks mom with rats.

It's truly horrifying.

Also if you see her son, punch him in the face.

Ch 13 pg 133

Ch 15 pg 151

Revelation,  the black lady that is missing was the cleaning lady that Patricia saw at the vampires house. She calls ms green to ask if she'd be willing to talk to the lady's mom with her.  Ms green doesn't care for that lady.  But Sue's willing to do it if Patricia comes over right now.

Ch 16 pg 161

They go to a lady's house and her daughter is missing.  Patricia tells her to call the p9lice and to tell them she was taken by the vampire who is a drug dealer.  The lady kinda does that in that she calls the cops and says her daughter is missing. 

Ch 17 pg 168

Patricia goes looking for the girl and vampire in the woods.  She finds the vampire's van and she finds the vampire doing vampire shit to the girl.  She runs away and stumbles into the police.  She takes the police to the van but nobody is there.  They go back to the lady's trailer and the daughter is back in her room.

Patricia's husband shows up and they go home.

Ch 18 pg 179

The girl the vampire was feeding on was taken away by child protection services.  It sucks and Patricia's husband isn't willing to do anything to help.  Even though it was his mother Ms green was protecting from the eats the vampire sent.

The vampire comes over and they have cookies and Patricia apologizes for ratting him out to the cops.

Ch 19 pg 191

Patricia tells book club that the vampire is a drug dealer.  At first nobody wants to hear it.  But then kitty and others back her up.  Grace is 100% against this.

Grace calls Patricia to tell her she found where the vampire is stashing his van.  Book club is working to take down the vampire they think is a drug dealer.

Ch 20 pg 202

Patricia claims to be having book club and tries to get rid of her family.  But her daughter bails on her sleep over and ruins everything.   But she tells her to stay in her room.  Why?  Because some book club people are coming over but also cops are coming over so they can talk to them about the vampire. 

Also, Patricia's husband that was supposed to do dinner and a movie with their son comes home.

Ch 21 pg 207

It's not just Carter it's all their shitty unsupportive husbands.  They're all cozy with the vampire because he's invested money with them.  And their shitty.husbands not only don't support them but they've brought the vampire abd they make them apologize and he forces himself into their bookclub full time.

Ch 22 pg 219

Patricia goes home and drinks a bottle of prozak.

Ch 23 pg 230

Patricia wakes up in the hospital. Her.kids hate her cause of the suicide attempt and her husband because he isn't getting the promotion he wants.

Three years later...

Ch 24 pg 240

We're living in a post-apocalyptic book club.  The men are in it and they read the sorts of books that dads read.  The vampire is thoroughly entrenched in everything. They listen to rush limbaugh on the radio and read James Patterson books.  So gross.

Ch 25 pg 250

Their little nazi kid throws a fit and runs away to the vampire's house.

Ch 26 pg 260

Patricia has a visit from her mother in law's ghost and it tells her to go to Ursula green.  She has an old picture of the vampire. 

.

Ch 27 pg 266

Patricia goes to ms green and sees the picture and its absolutely the vampire. 

Ch 28 ch 275

Patricia goes to slick to show her the photo.

Fun thing, slick is having am anti Halloween party to praise the lord.  Its gonna be Martin Luther themed.

We get a little more back story on mom, she lived upstate. So vampire didn't come back to the scene of the crime.  Mom just was in the wrong place sat the wrong time and that's why he killed her with rats.

Ms green also gave Patricia other evidence.  Patricia tells slick the plan is ms green is gonna clean the vampires house while the men are all away.  Patricia is gonna go through his house to find definite evidence. 

Like a real moron, she leaves all the evidence with Slick.

Ch 29 pg 282

Patricia goes to jmthe vampires house while Ms green is cleaning it and goes into the attick and finds the dead body of Francine in a suitcase.

Problem, the Vampire has come home early.

Ch 30 pg 292

The cleaning ladies leave and in an amazing display of grit and determination Patricia hides in the attic under old boxes and blankets and what not while all sorts of vermine that live there crawl all over her.  She eventually can't stand it and gets out from under but by then vampire has stopped looking for her.  She just sorta waits and listens for 7 hours hoping he'll leave and she can escape. 

She pieces together that slick must have ratted her out.

 Eventually she hears the attic door open again and she expects doom.

Ch 31 pg 300

It's not doom.  It's kitty.

This chapter is tense.  The reason vampire left is the housing development everyone is investing in is on fire.  Ms green set that fire and called kitty to save Patricia. Kitty wants to gtfo but Patricia has shit to do.  First she has to show kitty Francines body.  Then she's gotta clean up after herself so vampire doesn't have definite proof she was up in the attic. They're about to leave and Patricia decides she's gotta go back up until the attic to get Francine 's drivers license.  They slip out the back just as vampire comes home.

Ch 32 pg 306

Patricia has a plan.  She's gonna slip francine's id into vampires wallet and then call the cops and tell them while drunk he told her he killed Francine and stuffed her in a suitcase in his attic and showed her the id.  

But before that it's Halloween.  This book is set in the 90s and one popular costume that year was the teenage mutant ninja turtles.  Did you know that the teenage mutant ninja turtles are not historical lyrics accurately named.  If they were it would be more like this...

Donatello leads,  Leonardo does machines.  Michaelangelo is cool but rude.  Eric Botteron is a party dude.

Slick calls.  She just keeps saying "I didn't make a sound"  Patricia helps her strip and get into the shower. there's some sort of black goo coming out of her vagina.   She says,  if he did this to me,  imagine what he's going to do to you.

Ch 33 pg 316

Slick didn't rat out Patricia. What she did was call vampire and threaten to expose him.  That's why vampire came home early but didn't confront Patricia directly. He suspects she was snooping but because she cleaned up her tracks her doesn't really know what happened. 

Why is slick basically nonresponsive and disheveled?  Because the vampire raped her and said if she made a sound he would kill her family. 

Patricia goes home.  Her son says he's been at the vampires house since 7:30 and he was there the whole time.

Ch 34

Slick is in the hospital. Everyone goes to  visit, which includes vampire. Patricia ak

Sks vampire for a ride home.  She leaves franxones id in his car.

Later that night Patricia finds vampire feeding on her daughter.

Ch 35

Vampire calls to tell Patricia that it's all good and he's not a vampire and her daughter likes it.

Patricia calls ms green and invites her to book club.

Ch 36

Everyone in the book club except for grace is in to do something about the vampire. Looking forward to seeing what that is.

Ch 37

Patricia gives herself to the vampire. She says to buy her children more time.  Vampire is gonna kill her husband and take his place.  But for now they get naked and he feeds on her.  It starts with the worst pain and goes to her greatest pleasure. 

Ch 38

Patricia unlocked vampires front door before the feeding.  Kitty Mary Ellen and Mrs green attack vampire with a baseball bat, knife and hammer respectively. Kitty is the one that does all the damage.  Mary Ellen is completely useless and while mrs green tries, she doesn't accomplish much.  Theyve got him on the floor with a knife through his spine.  Now they need a cooler for some reason.

Ch 39

Due to the knife in his spine vampire can't really move.  But he can talk a lot.  Begging for his life and promising favors and swearing his kind will get revenge if he disappears. And all the while the ladies cut him up into pieces and put those pieces into garbage bags.

Then the door rings.

.ch 40

This whole thing is based around the plan that the football game will keep everyone else busy so they can do their dark work.   But there's less than an hour or so for them to do it.  They might not have enough time to handle things with the best of circumstances and now they gotta deal with whoever is at the door.

But it's Grace cause of course it is.  She's here to help.

Kitty and marry Ellen deal with the vampires body parts and mrs green and grace clean up the place.

Grace takes Patricia to her house and covers for her with Carter.

Ch 41

Patricia asks for a divorce

They go get their daughter

They had a dog named raging

And then he died

Got real emotional at that part

.

Ch 42

Epilogues be Epiloguing.

They don't necessarily live happily ever after. But they slayed the vampire and that's good enough for Patricia. 

Let God be thanked that all has not been in vane.

something wicked this way comes

Ch 2 pg 12

They nail up the lightning rod and go to the library. Will's dad works at the library and he is old.

Will's dad is a sad man.  He wishes he could go running through the night like will and Jim do.  He thinks about the differences between Will and Jim.  Wills just running cause running is fun.  Jim is a little more purposeful about it.  Jim knows life is unfair so when he falls down he doesn't just brush himself off and start running again he looks around for the other punch in the face life is about to deliver. Will is constantly asking why bad things happen.  Jim just knows they're gonna happen and Hope's the next thing isn't worse.  

Will's dad take his sad self to his sad bar and drinks his one sad drink.

Ch 4 pg 20

This town shuts down at 9 and it shuts down fast.  The only people they run into on way home are the cigar store man, who just stands there with his mouth open and the barber shop guy who is crying because he smells cotton candy and it makes him sad for his lost childhood.  He and wills dad should hang out and be sad together.

Will's dad doesn't know what to say to.him.  so he just says be careful. 

He's too old to relate to a child.  He wishes he had never had a kid.  

Ch 21 

The boys sneak out at 10:30.  Technically Jim sneaks out and will follows him.  But also there's this thing about a bridge that if you jump on it, you can make music.  Theyve used it to let the.other one know they're gonna go somewhere. Will thought he heard Jim playing music on it.  Maybe someone else did that and that's why Jim left without will cause he thought it was will doing it.

Ch 22 pg 96

There's a very come fuck around and find out vibe to this.

He tells the boys to stay hidden and meet him at the library at 7.

Dad is at the library but 7 comes and no will no Jim.

Ch 38

The boys eventually make it to the library. 

Dad has been doing some research. This carnival ain't new.  It's run through town before.  1908 1880 1840.  It's the autumn people and they're up to no good.

Ch 39

Dad's theory boils down to the carnival people being able to live forever because they use the Carousel every now and then to shave off a year.  But how does the Carousel work?  It's fueled by the pain of the people in the towns they go through.

Ch 40

Lots more talk about sin and pain and how the carnival might operate. 

Ch 41 pg 209

Carnival man shows up.  All of dad's knowledge doesn't really seem to be useful here. Carnival man asks for the boys.  Tells dad how easily he could kill him.  Carnival man says he will make.him young if he gives up.the boys.  Dad says no.  Carnival man starts to walk about calling for the boys.

Ch 45 pg 233

The carnival man marches the boys through town. He's controlling them somehow.  He makes them smile and say pleasantries with towns folk as they walk about.

Ch 46 pg 238

They get back to the carnival and they're gonna a end the night with the witch doing the catch a bullet in your teeth trick.  I don't get why.  How is this gonna benefit the carnees?  Anyway,  they ask for a volunteer to do the gun shooting and nobody wants to.  They're about to end things and dad shows up to volunteer.

Ch 47 pg 241

Dad had a bad lefthand. So he needs help.  He calls for will. The whole crowd calls for will.  Will comes out of the mirror maze.  

Ch 48 pg 250

They do the trick and the witch dies.

They go into the mirror maze to find Jim.

The mirrors show you stuff youre afraid of.  Dad is getting a bit overwhelmed by increasingly older reflections of himself.

The lights go out.  Dad is happy cause he can't see the reflections of his old ass anymore.

Ch 49 pg 254

Will lights a match.  Dad loses his shit and puts the match out.  Will lights another one and before dad can protest will saves the day with love.  "I don't care how old you are dad.  I love you."  Fuck yeah!!!!

Dad laughs again and somehow this results in all the mirrors shattering. 

Ch 51 pg 261

They go to the Carousel and they see the freaks and Jim.  Wills is all oh no, they got Jim.  Dad in a moment reminiscent of rhorshock from mystery men is all, no, we got them.  Will loves his dad and so do I.  But will doesn't get it and hes hella scared.

Ch 53 pg 275

Something happens with carnival man.  And then he died.  With the boss dead, the freaks all leave.

Sad part, Jim is dead too.

Ch 54 pg 

Dad realizes Jim isn't dead.  But the carnival is sucking the life out of him.  And will's sadness is part of the problem.  Dad smacks will around a bit and tells him to sing and dance and laugh and it works.  Their silliness brings Jim back.  And they all lived happily ever after.  Or maybe not.  Maybe the next threat is here already and its even worse.

the blood mirror ch 28 - 54

Ch 28

Karris is doing execution. But she doesn't execute what's his face that tried to kill kip.  She kills the guy that gave him the order to kill kip.  She does it with mirrors and sunlight.  Kinda like killing him with a laser.  

Ch 29

Kip isn't a young man anymore.   Marriage has prematurely aged him.  He kisses his wife before he goes into battle.  There's also a magic the gathering card moment where he remembers a time when one of his ancestors had to marry his lovers daughter.

Ch 30

Karris doesn't kill Quentin like she should.  She makes him her slave instead. She kills another guy with the death ray and he turns himself into a three headed dog in the midst of it.   Pretty cool.

Ch 31

LIV!!!!!!!

She has the seed and she can feel its power.  She's more powerful than any other ultra violet in the world as she is now.  But she's no god. She has to break the halo before she can absorb the seed fully and become a God.  It's a painful process.  But she comes out the other side unharmed.  She can feel her connection to the world now.  Very specifically she can feel a magical creature and she knows she can control it.  

Also, a man appears and says he's her slave.

Ch 32

Kip and his jackbooted thugs attack the glorious rebels.  They largely find success but then there's a cannon and other explosions and 250 slaves Kip is gonna try to save.  Not that there's any point.  Life sucks under the boot of the cromeria.  It sucks even worse with the rebels.

Ch 33

Gavin is escaping.  We think he might really do it, but then Andross is there waiting for him.

Ch 34

One of the female black guards tells tiea all of her feelings.  Main takeaway I have here is that the black guards know that zymon is a piece of shit.

Kip saves most of the slaves on the sinking ship.  They're gonna go spread word if how great Kip is. 

Ch 36

Ch 40

Kips grandpa and Zymons mom talk about the cerberus and how he was an evil god and they're not just fighting the color prince, who's Zymon's uncle but that doesn't seem to matter, but also these evil gods.  They also talk about there being multiple worlds that orlham made and how the gods can't be at more than one place at a time so maybe this fight is a small part in a greater war against Orlham and there's a lot of scary unknown.

.ch 41

LIV!!!!!!

The blue god tracks her down and they talk.  Liv tells her where she can find the body of her mortal love.  Liv goes back to her home town and Kips house.  She uses his left behind scent to send him a message.

Ch 42

Kip kinda gets the message.  But he doesn't seem to understand who it's from or what it in.

Ch 43

Tiea talks to murder sharp.  He's gotta go kill the seer so he'll be gone for a while.  The old man, who we know is Grinwoody and iron fists uncle, will handle her now.  If she meets him face to face that's gonna be an interesting conversation. 

Ch 44 pg 319

Kip kills a red eight with help from card memories.

What we learn is that dazen did kill gavin long ago and this whole prison thing is just his madness.  His dad comes down to tell him he loves him and that yes going to start sending down bread again.  One of them will be poisoned so have fun with that.

Ch 46 pg 337

Lots of stuff about will casting.  Where you use magic to control animals. Or even people and that's why its forbidden by the chromeria.  Kip makes a speech and it goes well and he's added the hidden forest people to his army.

Ch 47 pg 351

Teia tortures a slave with pyryl to learn how to do pyryl stuff cause murder Sharpe commanded it and she figures if she doesn't do it, the broken eye will kill her

Gavin and his evil reflection talk.  One cutting comment it makes is that he could be with karris if he weren't such a coward.

Something Wicked This Way ComesRay Bradbury

I checked out the downloaded audio book from the library.

the ocean at the end of the lane.

Prequel

There's a guy,  he grew up on the titular lane.  There is a duck pond out back of the farm house at the end of the lane.  There was a girl there that referred to the duck pond as her ocean.

Guy has childhood memories he has forgotten. He suddenly remembers EVERYTHING now that hes back to the place of his childhood.  The ocean at the end of the lane.

Ch 1 pg 8

He remembers a 7th birthday no one came to and a kitten that died.

Ch 2 pg 13

The guy that had the accident with the kitten was renting a room at the guys house when he was a boy.  He later killed himself in their car.  This is how the guy that was then a boy got to hang out with Lettie, the girl in the farmhouse at the end of the lane with the duck pond she calls an ocean, and her mom and grandma.

I think Lettie and "family" have some sort of telepathical powers.

Ch 3 pg 25

Boy has a dream where he's choking.  He wakes up to find a coin in his throat.  He goes down to the end of the lane where Lettie explains that it's just someone trying to give people money and he doesn't need to worry about it and she will protect him.

Her maturity and confidence is alarming to boy.  He asks her how old she is and she says eleven. Then in a nightvalian sort of way he asks how long she has been eleven and it gave me so much joy.

 The ladies at the farm house at end of the lane seem to know what the problem is and what to do about it.

Lettie is going to go solve the problem.  She wants to bring boy along.  Her "mom" likes the idea.  Her "grandma " not so much.  But she doesn't stop her from taking him with.  She just says don't say i didn't warn you.

Ch 4

Boy and Lettie go into the words and into what I'm gonna assume is something like the fairy rhelm and they fight a spirit monster thing.  It goes well and the thing is bound so it can't hurt our w0rld anymore but boy let go of girls hand during the fight and in that moment he felt a stabbing pain in his foot and I expect that will have negative consequences in the future.

Also the way lettie talks it's very much like she's some sort of immortal being and not a person, in case anyone reading this thinks she's a normal little girl.

Ch 5

The stabbing pain immediately pays off as the boy pulls a worm out of it.  Or most of a worm anyway.  Probably still some in there and it'll probably continue to be a problem. 

Ch 6

Boy (does boy have a name?) Is told by his mom she has a job now and a woman named Ursula will be looking after them.  She is the worm that was in his foot. This is very bad and it's all his fault.  Ursula doesn't let him leave their property so he can't talk to lettie about her.

Ch 7

Boy goes on a bit of a hunger strike.  When his father demands he eats the food Ursula made he says he won't cause she's not a person, she's a monster.  Then he runs to the bathroom and locks the door and his father kicks the door down and tries to drown him

Ch 8

Boy has been locked in his room.  He decides to make a break for it.  He is kinda lost and cold and wet and tired and alone and Ursula finds him and she's flying. Also, pretty sure she had sex with his dad.

He is pretty hopeless.  But it turns out he has made it to the hampstocks land and lettie comes to save the day.

Ch 9 

Lettie and family pull some jedi mind trick and convince boy's parents that boy is here for a run of the mill sleepover. The only reason they came down the lane was to bring boy his toothbrush. 

Ch 10

Lettie and boy go back to his house to deal with the Ursula situation.  The basic idea is that Lettie offers to send Ursula home in a painless manner. It doesn't really work out and Ursula runs away.

Ch 11

They find Ursula pretty easy cause lettie has trapped her here.  Lettie informs Ursula that the cleaners have been called. Thus motivates Ursula to take lettie up on her offer to go back home through her door, which used to be in boys foot.  Problem,  the door doesn't work.   Some part of it is still in boy.  Ursula has a solution,  she's gonna rip his heart out and somehow that will allow her to go home.  It's around then that the cleaners show up.  They're vaguely bird like shady beings and they tear Ursula apart.

But they are not satisfied. They need to clean up the part of Ursula that's in boy.  

Lettie take boy to a fairy ring where he will be safe from the cleaners.

Ch 12

Boy stays in the fairy rings despite the shadow monster impersonating many different people trying to lure him out.

Ch 13

Lettie shows up with a bucket.  They do some magic and they are in the pond by her house.  Its trippy AF!!!!!

Back at the house he eats schpehards pie and spotted dick and all is well.  

Except that Lettie isn't so sure they can deal with the shadow bird things.  Her mom is though and that makes boy feel ok.

Ch 14

The shadow bird things start doing bad things like eating oak trees and stars and what not.  Seeing this, boy has the sudden desire to sacrifice himself so they will stop.  But tillie jumps on him to protect him and she dies. Grandma comes out, in a way that reminded me of dr who, and tells the shadow birds that they have violated sacred treaties by attacking Tillie and what not and if they know what's good for them they'll go back home.  It kinda feels like an empty threat but it works and they gtfo.  Grandma takes tillie to the ocean and explains she ain't really dead, but she needs some time in the ocean and she'll return when she's ready.

Ch 15

Boy goes home and just sorta forgets everything that just happened.  He bel8ves lettie went to Australia to be with her dad.

Ch 16

Ch 20.pg 139

hhgtt Galaxy

Intro: page negative 15

Douglas started this endeavor as a radio thing on The bbc.   It started before that when he was hitchhiking through Europe and was about to pass out due to overly aggressive consumption of alchohol and looking at the stars thought if there was a hitchhiker guided to the galaxy he would get the fuck out of here. 

I have the teen version with pictures 

Ch 0 pg 1

They talk about the hitchhiker guide to the galaxy. Its largely inaccurate,  but it's more popular than the galactic encyclopedia because its slightly cheeper and has the words don't panic on the front.

Ch 1 pg 5

Arthur dent is a human man whose house is going to be demolished to make way for a bypass.  Ford Prefect (I have not read this book since Harry Potter became a thing.) Is an extra terrestrial and he doesn't care about Arthur's house.  He convinces him to come to the pub.

Ch 2 pg 25

Ford orders six pints and tells Arthur to drink up.  The world is ending and he needs to drink those beers as a muscle relaxant.

Ch 3 pg 31

Earth is destroyed by a vogon ship to make wah for a galactic highway.

Ch 4 pg 46

Zaphod beeboebrox is the president of the galaxy. But he only took the job as part of a heist. 

Ch 5 pg 58

Arthur and Ford have been beamed to a ship.  It's a vogon ship.  Vogons are jerks and they blow up inhabited planets to make way for interstellar highways.  Funny story, having just destroyed am inhabited planet the captain of the ship just got a message telling him there's new kinds of spacecraft that don't need interstellar highways. This is upsetting. 

Arthur and Ford were let on the ship by the cook's who are an alien species called the dentrassis.  The angry vogon captain sends out a ship wide message.  Its basically to the hitchhiker and it's that he's gonna catch you and kill you.

Ch 6 pg 74

Ford and Arthur hunker down in the dentrassis`s room and hope not to be caught while they go through hyperspace. 

Ch 7

Ford and Arthur are tortured with poetry and then thrown out an airlock.

Ch 8 pg 82

They are picked up 

Ch 9

A lot of highly improbable stuff is happening around them as the probability drive gets us back to normal.

Ch 10

They describe the improbability drive.

Ch 11

Zaphod and trillium are annoyed by the depressed robot. 

Arthur and Ford don't think much of him either.

Ch 12 

Zaphod and Trillian are trying to map their minds around how the ship picked up Arthur and Ford.  The point at which they did so means something to Trillian.  It should mean something to Zaphod but he's either playing dumb or really doens't remember whatever it is that Trillian is talking about.

Ford and Arthur are walking towards them.  Trillian wants to get a look at them before they get there.

Ch 13 pg 136

Remember how Trillian told zeephod about the point where they picked up the hitchhikers being important?  It's because that point is where earth used to be.  Why is this important to Trillian?  Because she's from.earth.  she was at the party Arthur was talking about. The guy that she left with was Zaphod.  He only had one head and two arms and called himself Phil,  but it was him and Arthur is pissed off about it. Zaphod is Ford's brother.

Ch 14 pg 144

Arthur is sleeping.  No one else can.  Trillian has mice she brought from earth...

They are in the midst of the horsehead nebula.  Complete darkness. But there's a planet where it's very improbable that there would be one.

 Ch 15

A long long time ago there were people that made designer planets for the ultra rich.

Ch 16

They all hate the cheerful computer. 

This planet is the hime base of the people that made planets.

Ch 17

This planet does not want guests.  There are several recordings telling them to fuck off.  They do not.  Missiles are launched.  Evasive maneuvers happen.  The hitch hikers guide to the galaxy gets lose and starts talking about stuff. 

Arthur figures if they're about to die, try the improbability drive.

Ch 18 pg 172

The improbability drive turns the missles into a whale

And a potted plant.  The potted plants story is great. It thinks.  And what it thinks is not again.

Ch 19 pg 179

They land and go outside.

Ch 20 pg 184

The whale smashing into the ground penetrator the surface and zaphod is gonna go in.  He and Ford go in and Arthur and the robot do not.  Zaphod explains to Arthur that he's a bit of an idiot savant. He has these ideas to do amazing things and kinda without knowing how he just does whatever he has to to accomplish those goals.  It's very disturbing but he just keeps doing it.  The worst part Is that he did some brain scans and found the initials ZB carved into parts of his brain.  I suppose the idea is he did this to himself.

Ch 21 pg 194

The robot is terrible company  so Arthur goes for a walk and runs into an old man.

Ch 22 pg 199

This is that old man.

He's been asleep for five million years or so.  They did that on purpose because of the resession .  But the stock market is up so the system woke them up cause it thinks the economy is good enough for people to start buying designer planets again.

Ch 23 pg 207

The dolphins knew the vogons were coming and left earth before it got blewed up.

Ch 24 pg 209

Earth was an organic computer run by mice.  It was about to finish the program it was running when it got blowed up.  Mice aren't mice.  They're the physical manifestation of a Trans dimensional entity.  

This place isn't back in the planet making business.  It's just making another earth for the mice because it was destroyed and I guess when they're done with that they'll go back to sleep.

Ch 25 pg 220

There were some scientists trying to figure out the life, the universe and everything riddle.  They made a super duper computer they named deep thought.

These two guys asked it to give them the answer to life, the universe and everything. The computer's response was that it will take 7.5 million years to give them the answer. 

Ch 26 pg 231

Slartibartfast offers to let Arthur walk around on earth 2.  Arthur says no thanks, it wouldn't be the same.

Ch 27 pg 233

They get the answer.  You know what it is.

Ch 28 pg 241

Derp thought tells them he will design them another even bigger computer that can give them the question that the answer is the answer to.

Ch 29 pg 245

Zaphod was sent on this whacky trip by the previous president of the galaxy.  Its hella complicated. 

Ch 30 pg 251

artur abd fatibatfast talk about life.

Ch 31 pg 258

The crew talks to the mice.  They say they might not need earth 2.  They have Arthur.  More specifically his brain.  They want to take it out and try to get the question of the life the universe and everything. They'll even replace it with a robot brain.  He won't notice the difference because he will be programmed not to.

Ch 32 pg 271

The cops show up to arrest zaphod.  For reasons I don't understand,  the mice just sorta give up and make up the question "how many roads must a man walk down."

The cops make it to the group...

They start shooting at them.  

Ch 33

The cops space suits malfunction and they die.

Ch 34

They get back to their ship.  Next to their ship is the police ship.

Also there lying on the ground face first is Marvin.  He's extra depressed because he tried to talk to the ship and it commited suicide rather than talk to him.  That's what killed the cops.  Marvin killed the cops with his depression. 

Ch 35

They're gonna grab a bite to eat at the restaurant at the end of the universe.
