GB Readalong: Favorite quotes so far

-


The Gentleman Bastards series is pretty quotable. There are a lot of witty back-and-forths between all of the characters, and a lot of memorable moments. Since we've started Red Seas Under Red Skies, I'm including a few quotes from both Lies and Red Seas. Enjoy!












What are some of your favorite quotes and scenes so far?

Way of Kings Readalong: Gender roles on Roshar

We've seen a little bit about the differences in what members of different genders are allowed and encouraged to do. I thought it was interesting how things like reading were entrusted only to women, since reading is how you gain knowledge (and power!), and it seems like the men were the ones who wanted all the power in this world. So here's a discussion post about the different gender roles and what some possible implications are. But first, a few words from Brandon Sanderson: I found this video on YouTube where Sanderson talks a bit about gender roles in history and in The Way of Kings.

I shouldn't have been worried, because this movie captu...
