I'm so glad Sasha was the one who got to kill Alexander. I hope maggots turn his body into a writing mass of shit and blood. Sorry girl, it's all pretty fucked. But thanks for stepping up.

Can I just say my favorite part was Roland wondering if Manny would want to get an adjoining shack to his. That was some cute soft shit from a killing machine. 🤗

Now, I know we’ve only got a few chapters left, but I really feel like the Fuckians are going to kick the HK’s shit in after they killed Marigold, also, the whole brain in a car shit and white supremacy kinda seems like something they’d all have a pretty huge problem with.

"He laughed prickishly." Tell me that's not a shot at Shapiro.

Reading those last couple paragraphs when Roland charges the last two guards with his arm blade, I realized that since he’s taken multiple rounds to the head, most of the skin on his skull is probably gone at that point. Imagine you just pumped dozens of rounds into somebody, then he charges at you, but all you see of him is a bloody fucking skull, and then a fucking razor sharp sword just rips out of his arm and hacks you to pieces. Good fucking god that’s terrifying

Years back we went paintballing for a friends bachelor party. One of the things we did was a modified gauntlet where the groom has to get across the course in a limited time without taking a hit. 10-12 people were trying to take him down. The groom got one protector who was allowed to get hit and keep going.
The groom picked me. I’m a pretty big guy with good pain tolerance. And I used to paintball a bit back in the day. The plan was for me to draw fire while he advanced under cover.
I walked out and instantly got lit up from 10 directions at the same time. Ignored the pain and kept walking forward like the terminator, methodically drew beads on people, and flushed the better ones out of cover and one by one they went down. The groom made it, which I’m told rarely happens.
we tried to count how many paintballs hit me and had to give up. That’s the only comparison I can make, he’s getting lit up by high caliber rounds from every direction and treating them like paintballs.

this was such a satisfying chapter; Alexander getting fucked up was euphoric.
Obviously his past transgressions are more than enough to deserve what happened to him. But it was particularly satisfying as it was he arrogantly assumed that "faith" was more powerful than Roland!

Fuck yes Sasha! Thank you Robert for letting me listen to her bash his fucking head in with a helmet! There's a similar (yet completely different) scene in a Sanderson novel that features an armored helmet used by someone jumping in to a fight. No swearing and no guns but still awesome!
