i'm indulging in the feeling of pre-internet research by trying to chase down a joke that i'm pretty sure is in tamora pierce's 'protector of the small' quartet by simply rereading the series until i find it

#i'm glad books can be long now but also i picked up the book at 9 and finished by like 11:30 and this is why the novellas hit so good.#sometimes you just wanna like #hold a book in your hand without doing extensive prop work #it's funny i've got certain bits of tortall extremely memorized #but i had entirely forgotten the climax of 'first test'#also #holy shit #FUCK wyldon #kel is so stoic and chill about the RELENTLESS bullying she's undergoing #that the training master just ENCOURAGES or at the very least LETS STAND #i forgot how bad it is!!!#it's bad!!!#she doesn't even mention it half the time!#so in my memories it wasn't great but they come to an understanding so it was okay eventually #now i want to shake him #anyway there's a funny joke about neil writing poetry that i want to find #can't wait to see if it's canonical or from fanfic #or just from another series #also WHEN will the oleander sword return from the war (my holds list) i'm desperate #books books books #half dead fried life #cw bullying #(mention in the tags)
