Just love this particular lines insight: “But it’s never the thing you’re worried about that gets you,”
and this description: “...feels like his head is in a paint shaker.” Having watched those machines at work an untold # of times over the decades, I’m also aware of what happens to the contents when --just once--the can opened up. “Blood” everywhere.
Action sequences aren’t my favorite, despite knowing I’m in the minority there. But the notations on Callan’s reticence for unnecessary and unfair violence is refreshing, while simultaneously wishing he’d just crushed everyone and everything earlier to avoid the horrific cliffhanger of an ending this chapter left me on!!!!!!
"The hardest thing about being prepared is the waiting that comes after."
-Felt that! I feel like as you develop as a "prepared" person you also have to develop patience and empathy for those who haven't. It is hard when people "want" to but don't, and even harder when they seem to not care, or outright brag about it.
"He’d never gone up against an eternal. And he didn’t know anyone who had."
-This is fun for a few reasons. One, it implies no one has done it and survived. But it also insinuates that it COULD be possible, and maybe those that have accomplished such a task would not have talked about it, for protection. It makes me want to fantasize about some sort of eternal hunter that no one really knows about (But the eternals do) that is somehow slowly picking them off one by one. How fun would that be?
"A beautifully tailored jacket, shredded to ribbons by bullets."
