Reading still

 

Still reading the Ea Cycle, onto the second-last volume now, Black Jade. Continuing to be amused at the cosmic stakes declared here.

"If we fail and Angra Mainyu is released he’ll go on a rampage destroying entire suns and countless populated planets until the order of beings above him are forced to unmake this one universe of the many. Meanwhile everything depends what were do running around this one continent of mostly white folk."

[paraphrased of course. but the contrast between the stakes and their lives, it is great]
