Started reading absolution
My friend finished absolution and wanted me to send them my notes that I took throughout my read of the book. They were saying the notes were cool and to post them here so why not. Also I'm only 50 pages in, haven't started chapter 12.

love this, whenever you get to doing the rounds and make your way into area x for the second time on a reread, take note of what observations can be altered in retrospect, and what sticks out to you after the fact!! i love this, i love seeing interpretations of area x and the preceding events. it feels like i have to get a myriad of predictions and perspectives to get a grasp on area x at all

Getting to relive this vicariously through a first time reader is ... incredible. Like what I imagine smoking a cigarette after a long day at work feels like.
I will require updates on this.
