“In Boston, as soon as I stepped off the plane, I was hit by the scent of the air — wet and alive. A total contrast to my home in the desert, which had the smell of kiln-baked fossils.” - this is a great observation
“I think I’ll pass, I thought, letting out one strained chuckle, just before my bones blew up.”
That is the most I’ve laughed out loud from this story so far. Such good pacing throughout this chapter to get to this point, and YIKES it sounds terrible. Is it weird I kept imagining undergoing this myself though? On purpose?
Man what a menacing start to a training montage that I’ve never read in a book. I wonder how long they’ll sleep before next chapter? Definitely excited to hear how they all feel about this experience! I’m guessing we start in Esther’s head for the top of the next section but will be happy to see what is next disirregardless of who we are learning it from.
