This book is really a warning about going goblin mode but also I'm not that smart so maybe I'm not getting it.

I legitimately believe it’s a book about how locking yourself away from the world will only breed contempt and misery while, idk, actually living can be a lot more rewarding. Though I can confused by what exactly Hermine represents in contrast. The need for balance?

You’d better read it and not shut up about it then because some of us were excited for Rocannon’s World!!

There is a short story, called “The Dowry of Angyar” or later renamed “Semley’s Necklace” that actually serves as a prologue to this book too. I’ve read that, but not this, yet, and it’s cool to see Rocannon go from side character in a short story to main character of his own novel.

Sea of Tranquility is fantastic and actually improves on what I consider St John Mandel’s weakness to be (her endings are very lukewarm, run out of momentum things usually)

First ever Discworld I read, if you’ve never read Discworld this is basically the best book to start with, imo
